Hello Janoš, I'm the other original Serbian translator :)
When Nebojša and me were originally translating Django to Serbian we had a long discussion on how to support both Serbian scripts. At the time (2005) the browsers weren't reporting the scripts correctly - see http://www.petarmaric.com/entry/2007/mar/20/ie6-izbor-izmedju-latinice-ili-cirilice/ AFAIK IE7 still has this problem and Firefox didn't even provide you with a choice. The even bigger problem was the lack of standards for marking scripts: sr_LAT, sp_yu, sh_sp, sh_yu, sh, cs, sr_LAT_CS, s...@latn, sr-lat, sr-lat-utf-8, sr-latin, sr_yu just to name a few. So since we couldn't support both scripts reliably we defaulted on Latin, mainly because using Cyrillic would be a SEO equivalent of suicide at the time. If I were to choose today I would only go for Cyrillic as "sr" code, and drop Latin script support altogether - Google and FaceBook also do this. PS: Just for heads up - if you're also updating translations the problem you are sure to run into sooner or later is the need for accusative, but the lack of support for it - which leads to silly sounding translations.
