 I want to suggest that get_body_class adds locales to the body tag.

 Would be very nice if WordPress supports locale-en_US, locale-sv_SE or
 locale-ja as body classes because non-English speakers can submit themes
 both for English writers and local languages bloggers.
 For users who use child themes to optimize a theme to their languages, it
 would be easier to send pull requests and patches to the original themes.

 For example, this blog post by @nao shows us how to optimize English based
 themes for Japanese blogs.

 for-japanese-blog/

 One of the basic ideas of this theme "Nu2013" by @nukaga in the WordPress
 theme repository is that the author wanted to offer Japanese optimized
 version of TwentyThirteen theme.
