Region definitions

This is more of a curiosity question, but when one selects, en-US or de-DE as their region where does that data come from? Where does it say it uses mm/dd/yyyy in the former or dd.mm.yyyy in the latter? Or imperial in one, and metric in the other? I don't know if this is an OS X issue, or a BSD issue, but I understand .GlobalPreferences can override the settings, which I believe the custom settings from Settings gets written to, but the master default settings, where are they actually defined?

Defined for the dev, or defined for the user?


API(s) for the dev, I'd think, and the OS (language settings), strictly, for the user.


What's the issue behind your ask?
