Description
I get the following notices, and translation don't work for certain languages:
Notice: Undefined index: ru in CRM_Core_I18n_PseudoConstant::longForShort()
I've only seen this affect Russian (ru_RU) and Ukranian (uk_UA), but my sample size was only
5, so I suspect this is broader.
I fixed this locally by adding the following lines to `longForShortMapping()` in
`sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/I18n/PseudoConstant.php`:
$longForShortMapping['ru'] = 'ru_RU';
$longForShortMapping['uk'] = 'uk_UA';

Can u take a look at this?

Basic patch. It doesn't seem like listing individual locales this way is easily maintainable
though.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the patch. This list is only necessary for languages that have regional translations,
but there aren't tons of them (en, fr, es, pt, ar). Normally this mapping is only for cases where
we need to override the mapping that assumes "xx" => "xx_XX". It is used for when the CMS
uses "inherit CMS language" in the locale options, because Drupal only has locales in short
format "ru", not full format, such as ru_RU (see: CRM/Utils/System/DrupalBase.php
getUFLocale).
It is probably necessary for UK, but not for RU? (because ru => ru_RU). Might also be
necessary for Arabic, because we're using ar_EG as the main Arabic translation.

@ergonlogic: could you check if the languages were enabled in the "languages" option list?
ex: go to /civicrm/admin/options?reset=1
then search for "languages", then click "options"
I think that Russian is enabled by default, but Ukrainian is not.
This points to a larger problem: when we enable a language, we need to make sure that the
option value is enabled. Also, this "list of languages" screen is rather important, but not exposed
in the navigation menus.
