Possibly, the term 'locale' will not be obvious to all users of LT. I suggest 'variety', because it is both clear to non-technical people and it is technically correct: https://www.uni-due.de/SVE/VE_Terminology.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_%28linguistics%29 http://www.open.edu/openlearn/languages/english-language/english-the-world-t oday/content-section-7.1

None of the above. Use "locale". Unless there is an overriding reason to restrict the choice to those given, then "variant" is the best choice. jonathon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM restrictions.
