Why not comparing the locale settings of main operating systems? I think
that at least WinNT, Apple, Linux, and other Unixes are widely represented
on this list.
This is what I see on Windows NT's Swiss (German) locale:
(Notice that the decimal separator seems to be "," for money, but "." for
other numbers.)
Number (e.g. "-123'456'789.00")
Decimal symbol: .
No. of digits after decimal: 2
Digit grouping symbol: '
No. of digits in group: 3
Negative sign symbol: -
Negative number format: -1.1
Display leading zeros: 0.7 (i.e., yes)
Measurement system: Metric
List separator: ;
Currency (e.g. "SFr. -123'456'789,00")
Currency symbol: "SFr."
Positive currency format: "SFr. 1.1"
Negative currency format: "SFr. -1.1"
Decimal symbol: ","
No. of digits after decimal: "2"
Digit grouping symbol: "'"
No. of digits in group: "3"
Time (e.g. "23.57.46")
Time style: "HH.mm.ss" (HH = 24h clock)
Time separator: "."
AM symbol: none
PM symbol: none
Short date: (e.g. "10.08.00")
Short date style: "dd.MM.yy"
Date separator: "."

Long date style: "dddd, d. MMMM yyyy"
