Por ejemplo, los locales chinos no distinguen entre las diferentes escrituras (han simplificado, han tradicional). ¿Qué es un ciudadano chino de la parte continental que quiere que los han tradicionales usen el entorno de Hong Kong?
Tomé esta lista de configuraciones regionales de iOS , eliminé la extraña entrada POSIX, la formateé como Javascript y la ordené por valor (por lo tanto, si usa una implementación de objeto ordenada y crea una lista revisando las teclas y devolviendo el valor, aparecerá muestra el texto legible por humanos en el orden correcto). Además, esta lista contiene una entrada principal por idioma, así como todas las variantes específicas de la región; de esta manera siempre tiene una opción de reserva designada, por ejemplo, si su interfaz solo ha definido la opción 'en', de lo contrario no sabría en a qué recurrir de manera confiable.
