Locale Set Specification
The Locale Set contains locale-specific data used in localization and canonicalization. Such data includes
picture clauses for representing dates, times, numbers, and currencies. It also contains the localized names
of items that appear in dates, times and currencies, such as the names of months and the names of the
days of the week. It also contains mapping rules that allow picture clauses to be converted into a localized
string that can be used in UI captions and prompts.
