[Bug 1850275] Re: English-Europe locale missing

[Steve Langasek]

glibc locale codes are defined by a combination of language and country.
There is no "English-Europe" locale and no way to specify this, it
cannot be missing.

You have the option of using the en_DK locale, which uses Denmark as a
proxy for "generic country where English is not spoken natively."  But
in general, if you are not happy with the en_GB or en_US locales, it is
because of some aspect of locales /other than language/ (such as
currency, numeric separator, date format, etc) and you should configure
the individual locale variables according to your preference instead of
expecting glibc to provide a locale that exactly matches your personal
preferences rather than being based on a national standard.

Bug description:
  Hello. I'm not reporting a 'bug', perhaps a missing feature.
  I try to explain it. I would like to use my system with Italian locale and the English language, but it seems not considered. Usually, I choose English for language and Ireland for Time/Date/Currency and it works; but I'm wondering why it isn't contemplated the use of the English language for Italian users.

  At least, why don't we insert English-Europe locale settings like in
  Windows systems?

  Sorry for bothering and I hope that I explained well what I mean.
  Thanks in advance for the time on it. Cheers.
