This is not correct. According to ISO 639, no stands for Norsk. Norsk Bokmål would be country code nb.

So technically, the correct thing to do would be to add this change and also change the country code to be nb instead of no. But that would require an update of all Norwegian keys in our translation system 😱

Yes, that would be the better fix. But it has wider reaching effects. Also might invalidate the users' already set-language if not "fixing" that on upgrade or some-such.
This is actually a very common problem in a lot of free software (probably proprietary as well) - since projects use no for Bokmål at the start which is technically wrong. 🤷♂️

okay, I think I have been able to change it in lokalise from no to nb. So we will just change the key here. It's not the end of the world that some Norwegians have to pick a language again.
I noticed the names in the translation list was wrong. It says "Norsk" and "Norsk Nynorsk", when it should be "Norsk Bokmål" and "Norsk Nynorsk". In the context of language, there is two languages, "Nynorsk" and "Bokmål". There is no such thing as a written Norwegian language. "Norsk" would only be if it includes both "nn" and "nb". And since it is a translation, this is wrong. :)
