| A locale is a combination of several things, including a language, but not only. E.g. I'm from portugal. I'm visiting an american site, which does not have professional portuguese translations, but does have auto-generated ones. I don't like the auto-generated ones and can read english just fine, so I want to have the language set to english (en-US in this case). However, I still want it to apply some locale-specific things from Portugal, e.g.: - Units (Metric vs. Imperial vs. Whatever mess countries like the UK do) - Date formatting (DD/MM/YYYY vs MM/DD/YYYY) - Time formatting (AM/PM vs. 24hr clock) - Currency formatting (10€ vs. 10 € vs. 10 EUR vs. €10) - Number formatting (10,000.00 vs 10.000,00) - When the week starts (Monday vs. Sunday) If you take a look at the windows locale options, it mostly lets you mix-and-match whatever you want (which is great! Now if only the MS apps let me stop using the localized keyboard shortcuts...): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/locale/langu... |
