Description
If you have WordPress in a language does not mean that the content has to be in that language. It would be good if there was an option to select it.
Another detail is for example: If we have the translation "Spanish - Spain", "es-ES", WordPress print "es-es" instead of "es" simply.
This would be good because it is the only translation into Spanish.

WordPress language values are designed to be only as specific as is necessary. Specificity is fine if there is a reason to distinguish among regions and subtags. es_ES is the code for Spanish spoken in Spain because Spanish is spoken in many other countries. WordPress, for example, also has Peruvian, Venezuelan, and Chilean translations, and I would not be surprised if Central America is represented in the future.
I agree, but we're not there yet. For now, this is best left to a plugin — for example, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-in-english/.
