I refer to them as region-specific map_features, not locale-specific map features - locale and language are too easily confused! This has been a long-term goal of mine, stretching back many years. I want to tailor things like road signs (and hints on what format the references should be) on a per-country basis - so that when you're mapping in Switzerland there are green Autoroute signs and when you're in France it knows that highway=secondary is a Departmental road with refs starting with a D. However, to say that adds complexity would be an understatement. I'm not going to start on that until we have a much better idea how to manage it - we aren't even at the stage of widespread UI translations yet, and we don't have a translatable global map_features yet, so I'm not going to start making life even more complex by adding in regions! The end goal, for me, is definitely a cross matrix of language and regions, so that no matter what language you speak, and what country you happen to be in today, the interface looks as much like what you have in the photo as possible.
