WOW!!! Well done Julien, your fix for Bug 79276 could represent a solution for
the current bug as well.

If I copy one of those autocorrect .dat file and manually remove the final
sublocalization tag (i.e. acor_it-IT.dat → acor_it.dat) and I place it in the
autocorr subfolder of the user profile it will work as an unlocalized
autocorrect version for that language.

That means that autocorrect entries in the acor_it.dat file will be applied
either in documents written in Italian (Italy) or in Italian (Switzerland).

The same will apply to an acor_en.dat file which could be an universal
autocorrect replacement for all english variants as well.

The only thing which is missing is that those unlocalized acor.dat files
actually are not shown in the UI of the Tools/autocorrect options/Replace, so
you have no way to edit od add or remove those entries.

If you find a way to make those unlocalized acor.dat files editable in the UI
the fix will be complete.

We also have to decide how those unlocalized autocorrect lists should look in
the language list....

I mean, we have Italian (Italy) for acor_it-IT.dat and Italian (Switzerland)
for  acor_it-CH.dat, what we should visualize for acor_it.dat?  

Maybe we should keep it simple and display it only as Italian rather than
Italian (unlocalized) or Italian (common) or Italian (General) etc.etc.
