There are some duplicate translations for Greasemonkey. Some of the language-region codes (e.g. ru-RU) are no longer needed, since those locales have been replaced by two-character codes for language only. If you like, I or any of the other admins can delete those extra and obsolete locales for you here at BabelZilla. They are

Czech cs-CZ
Finnish fi-FI
Italian it-IT
Russian ru-RU
Turkish tr-TR
Ukrainian uk-UA

Other locales (e.g. Romanian and Estonian) have changed codes, but still have the obsolete lang-reg codes in Greasemonkey. They should be renamed.

An up-to-date list of the locales Mozilla uses, incl. those that still uses the lang-reg format (e.g. Swedish sv-SE), can be found at the Mozilla Web localization Dashboard.

What exactly should be removed? ro-RO, replaced by ro? That seems done babelzilla side. Estonian is et? et-EE still seems to exist babelzilla side.

What I mean is that Mozilla is undergoing an update of the locales they use for Firefox, Thunderbird etc. There is a list at Mozilla Web localization Dashboard (http://l10n.mozilla-community.org/webdashboard) with all the locales they currently use. We try to keep the locales at BabelZilla updated, but sometimes there are "old" translations left.

You may use as many locales/translations as you like, but it often unnecessary to have two locales for e.g. Swedish or Polish, while big languages, e.g. Spanish or English, may still need separate locales for different regions.

Ask your translators to review the "old" locales and decide if duplicates should be merged or if we at BabelZilla simply could delete the obsolete locale (upon your request of course). If there are two parallel translator teams, they could cooperate instead of producing duplicate translations. In the meantime the old locales will still work in Mozilla programs, but it's difficult to know if support for old locale names will continue. That's why I suggested that you can look at the list (see the link above) and rename the folders and references if necessary.
