Created attachment 53463 Adds property for regional formats
Currently (0.6.15) the only available language/locale property is the Language property. To facilitate a more fine tuned setting of the user language/locale environment, more properties would be useful.
The attached patch suggests the addition of the FormatsLocale property and the SetFormatsLocale method, aimed at a locale name for region specific formats such as date/time, numbers, currency, default paper size, etc. It's a stand-alone addition of code, using the code for Language and SetLanguage as model.
Based on how Ubuntu deals with language/locale related user data, I have some other ideas of how accountsservice might be improved, but they will need to be discussed. I'll get back to you on the topic.
