    I think it should follow regional settings, but don’t have high hopes (nor much the experience)

      This brings back memories of trying to match locale info from my local computer, a remote server, a MySQL db, and a different Python app in a different server region.

      It was for an international email campaign so each users email needed to match their in app locale for number and currency formatting, but there were like a half a dozen different layers of apps and servers that all handled locales differently.

      Add in a hard deadline for the client and oof, that was a painful week.

      LC_ALL=C is now cursed knowledge that resides in my brain. I wasn’t able to install Babel or any other libraries because security reasons so I had to handle everything manually.
