Hi :) I don't quite understand why en-US has a simpler address whereas other languages have
l10n/language-COUNTRY Would it be technically difficult or confusing to have languages use the same style as en-US? eg Company Home/LibreOffice Documentation/en-GB/books Company Home/LibreOffice Documentation/en-AUS/books Company Home/LibreOffice Documentation/sp-BR/books Ok, you can see i don't know the appropriate abbreviations for other languages but i think the idea of avoiding the extra folder "l10n" is pretty clear?
