Comment 5 for bug 37138

You understood my idea, I think most of the locales for location "Finland" should be fi_FI.UTF8. You have a point about the long dates: "today is maantai" would sound funny. Dates are (hopefully) the only part of locale that could use something like en_FI.UTF8 or just left like they are now.

Especially metric system, A4 paper size and number format are important. Finnish keyboard has comma "," in number pad, so it is very slow to input decimal numbers using dot ".". Users in Finland don't know how long is a feet or an inch, users just change units to metric system one program at a time. Just like most of the world, we always use A4 paper, and it is not possible to buy US letter from normal shops here. Many printers just blink a red light and freeze when sending US letter print jobs to them.

So, I think that most of the locale settings should be set to fi_FI.UTF8.
