Locale ID
A locale ID is used to name a set preferences for a locale. The identifier is based on BCP47 and Unicode TR 35 for distinguishing among languages, country/region, currencies, time zones, transforms, and so on.
Typically, the ID is a language code or
a language and region code;
such as en and en-NZ, respectively. However, ID's can also contain
a script,
extensions and
variants.
Parsing
