I already do this. The following example explains the English language search.

 1) Look for files like "fpgui.en_XX.po". At the moment I strip the
last ".UTF-8" part. Actually anything from the "." onwards
(en_ZA.UTF-8  ->  en_ZA).
 2) If no match found, strip everything from the "_" onwards (en_ZA
->  en), which leaves the file "fpgui.en.po"
 3) If still no match, then default to the default fpGUI language
specified by the developer. English in my case.

Using your example, fpGUI would search for the full qualifiers first.
If no match found, then 'de' or 'fr' will be searched, otherwise
default to the language specified by the developer.
