I'm glad to see something is going to finally get done in i18n and
l10n, which mostly sucks right now.

I'd prefer keeping it at settings.py, maybe as a dictionary of
languages:
LANGUAGE_SETTINGS = {
# languages not in this dictionary use default settings
'es': { 'decimal_point': ',',
'date_format': '%d/%m/%Y',
'datetime_format': '%H:%M:%S %d/%m/%Y',
'currency_symbol': u'€',
'currency_position': 'suffix',
},
}
If language settings get too long then people can extract them to
language_settings.py and import at settings.py.
Alternative syntax:
LANGUAGE_SETTINGS_ES = {
'decimal_point': ',',
'date_format': '%d/%m/%Y',
'datetime_format': '%H:%M:%S %d/%m/%Y',
'currency_symbol': u'€',
'currency_position': 'suffix',
}
If settings.LANGUAGE_SETTINGS_(LANGUAGE_CODE) doesn't exist then
defaults are used.
PD: I wrote this before reading Russell's response, I'll just leave
this here for future discussion.
