ParameterslocaleString:String — A 1-, 2-, or 3-part locale String,
such as "en", "en_US", or "en_US_MAC".
The parts are separated by underscore characters.
The first part is a two-letter lowercase language code
as defined by ISO-639, such as "en" for English.
The second part is a two-letter uppercase country code
as defined by ISO-3166, such as "US" for the United States.
The third part is a variant String, which can be used
to optionally distinguish multiple locales for the same language and country.
It is sometimes used to indicate the operating system
that the locale should be used with, such as "MAC", "WIN", or "UNIX".
