Ticket #47511, comment 10
initial v1 3 3 Yeah, it looks like a really good starting point :) 4 4 5 The (main) intention here is to have WordPress specific per-locale settings that are easy to define and maintain. Mainly things like excerpt length, word-count method, etc. This would include a few of the "more general" locale settings too, like default date and time format, decimal separator, name display ordering, etc. (as long as they are needed/used in the UI).5 The (main) intention here is to have WordPress specific per-locale settings that are easy to define and maintain.

They are targeted at operating system level support, we get that "for free" through the web browsers :) … … 11 11 Then we can look at the best way to implement these settings. For now it seems a (hard-coded) while list in core would be perfect. We can add a default (en_US) map (array) with the specific settings, then generate the initial per-locale changes/overrides to these default settings (perhaps from CLDR), and finally each of the polyglots teams would be able to adjust these settings if they wish. 12 12 13 Alternatively, especially if a white list becomes too big, we can think about generating some sort of additionalsettings file from GlotPress (again, can probably use CLDR for that) and distribute it with the main wp-admin .po and .mo files. This will be significantly more difficult to set-up and maintain. Frankly I don't think it will be needed, at least not for now.13 Alternatively, especially if a white list becomes too big, we can think about generating some sort of locale settings file from GlotPress (again, can probably use CLDR for that) and distribute it with the main wp-admin .po and .mo files.
