Hi

Polyglossia support BCP47 therefore it will be nice to add an option in order to avoid the reverse map

biber/lib/Biber/Input/file/bibtex.pm

Line 1109 in 402e3d2

elsif ($fc eq 'langid' and my $map = $LOCALE_MAP_R{$value}) {

That comment is a bit misleading in the code, I will correct it. Quite a lot depens on langid currently and I don't think we can switch to bcp47 inside biblatex.sty without some changes there since .lbx files are not bcp47 named (there was a push to do this quite some time ago but it never went anywhere). I suspect it will be more pressing if/when babel moves to bcp47.
