Here are the proposed renames. I'm not an expert, and some codes would make more sense without a country-qualifier I guess (country qualifier is ISO-wise optional).

    bn_IN -> bn-IN
    ca -> ca-ES
    cs -> cs-CZ
    da -> da-DK
    de -> de-DE
    el -> el-GR
    es -> es-ES
    fi -> fi-FI
    fr -> fr-FR
    gu -> gu-IN
    he -> he-IL
    hi_IN -> hi-IN
    hr -> hr-HR
    hu -> hu-HU
    id -> id-ID
    it -> it-IT
    ja -> ja-JP
    ms -> ms-MY
    nb -> nb-NO
    nl -> nl-NL
    pa -> pa-IN
    pl -> pl-PL
    pt_BR -> pt-BR
    pt -> pt-PT
    ru -> ru-RU
    sk -> sk-SK
    sr -> sr-RS
    sr_Latn -> sr_Latn-RS
    sv -> sv-SE
    ta -> ta-IN
    uk -> uk-UA
    zh_CN -> zh-CN
    zh_TW -> zh-TW

cheers,
