> Again, I'd like input from others on this (I am not experienced in this and may be missing something!), but my initial thoughts are that if we do choose to extract the day of week and month as integers only (and not implement the `label` argument), then all the locale stuff can be handled by `strftime` in terms of converting it from an integer to a text representation, so the locale is not relevant to TemporalOptions specifically within the context of extracting components from datetime objects. Well my thinking is to enable this `day_of_week(timestamp_monday, "en_US") == 2` and `day_of_week(timestamp_monday, "en_GB") == 1`. I don't know how useful this is but it looks like [matlab is doing it in this way](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/weekday.html). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
