I have a multilingual setup with languges un the "lc-XX" format (like "nl-BE"). I found it not very user friendly to let end users type this (case sensitive) language code and I prefer to use the url prefix, as defined in Drupal's language system, instead. End users can't be expected to care about RFC4646 language codes - they only care about the url where their content will end up.
That's why I wrote this patch. It adds a new variable and two radio buttons on the filter configuration page. With the trigger setting changed to 'url prefix', the "nl-BE" language can now be triggered using "== be ==".
I wrote this patch for D6 only, so this code will probably break when the module is running in a D5 environment, or do nothing at best. That's why I'm marking it as 'code needs work'.

Seems like a good idea. I can't help thinking that the whole issue of translation and multi-language sites in Drupal needs a major re-visit/re-design. Language Sections is arguably a hack for something that should be easier to do in out-of-the box Drupal - hope the Powers-that-be are listening!
Sorry for my lack of activity - I try to do Druapl open-source stuff when not tied up on other projects, but recently have been very tied up as part of a team taking on the UK Government and others, so not a minor project - www.ksfiomdepositors.org
