 In the UI there are several settings that are locale-specific, like "Date
 Format", "Time Format", "Week Starts On", etc. Also some locale specific
 differences in displaying information, like user's name on the Profile
 screen. In East Asia and some parts of Europe (and others) it is not
 accepted to have "John Doe", it is "Doe, John" (with or without the
 comma). For these locales the order of the form fields for First Name and
 Last Name should be swapped.

 This is handled well in MacOS and Windows. Not sure if we need all the
 options they offer, but a default per-locale settings would be great to
 have. Then they can include  word-count methods ("words" vs. separate
 characters), default lengths for strings/excerpts, (perhaps) some encoding
 changes for emails, decimal separator and grouping separator, and anything
 else that is locale-specific.
