Hm, maybe I should start using en-CA as a Sweden then. I am currently using en-US. I have also considered en-DK.

- Symbiote 6y agoI live in Denmark, but with my browser set to English only. (The OS is set to en-IE.) It's not unusual for a website to be presented to me in en-DK — probably due to the language setting and geolocation of my IP address — but it's also fairly common for numbers shown in that locale to be a mess. en-DK specifies a comma decimal separator, which I find confusing when reading English. 1,234.00 being mis-formatted as 1,234,00 isn't ususual. Dates are formatted YYYY-MM-DD, when usage in Denmark is DD-MM-YYYY (as used for da-DK). Supposedly, en-DK is considered "European English", but it fails at that (decimals, currency), and fails at being Danish too (decimals, dates). We need an en-EU, which can easily implement the EU's official style for writing English. Meanwhile, I think en-IE is closest.
