Description

install-dev/langs directory inside PrestaShop/PrestaShop repository contains locale information that should be maintained inside this repository (PrestaShop / LocalizationFiles).

It seems the data is pulled for the unique time during installation, and never used again. So it forces the user to manually update the settings in order to change the locale information.

I am thinking of creating unique XML locale files for each language-COUNTRY (like es-MX.xml, fr-BE.xml and nl-BE.xml) containing this information (locale code, language code, date format, RTL) and additional information (decimal separator, time format, etc.)

This will allow the users to update the locale settings from the backoffice using the language-packs.

Research direction

Start by comparing the language files in PrestaShop/PrestaShop's install-dev/langs directory with the data in this repository. Define how locale-specific files such as es-MX.xml, fr-BE.xml, and nl-BE.xml should represent the listed locale settings and additional information. Done means the localization data is homologated and can support updates through language-packs.
