Locale data

Locale data refers to information that describes the cultural and regional settings of a specific area, such as language, number formats, date and time styles, currency, and sorting rules. It helps software adapt its display and behavior to match the user's cultural norms, ensuring content is relevant and understandable. For example, it determines whether dates are shown as "MM/DD/YYYY" or "DD/MM/YYYY," what currency symbol to use, or which language to display. By using locale data, applications provide a more customized and accurate experience for users around the world.
