Well then, for those who believe Valencian is their own language (because of their ideology or they subjective reason), they have Valencian. For those who (objectively or ideologically) think that Valencian is the same as Catalan they have two Catalans to choose.
I mean, this piece of software won't pass an ISO evaluation and language won't be revised by professionals. Mistakes are usually spotted in many language-files. I think it's not very relevant indeed.
As Catalan, I don't see any proof of politcs in calling it Valencian. We usually say "mira, parla Valencià" and not "mira, parla Català de València)"
('look, s/he speaks Valencian/Catalan of Valencia').
From hearing somebody speak Valencian we automatically assume the person comes from the Valencian Community and surroundings. For this reason the dialect belongs to Valencia and it's Valencian (despite of the fact of being Catalan, Spanish or Soumi indeed).
