+## Language vs Locale
|
|
|
+A locale is a combination of language and region (usually a country).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Most would not use locales here for the switch, but languages.
|
|
|
+The locales are merely used internally for the presentation details.
|

|

|
|
|
+Examples for Germany/German:
|
|
|
+- `de_DE`/`de_AT` are some of the possible locale codes
|
|
|
+- `de` is the language (iso code) and internally uses one of those two locales

|
|
|
+Examples for USE/English:
|
|
|
+- `en_US`/`en_GB` are some of the possible locale codes
