When viewing the general configuration I see that my default locale is "English (United States)". But the installed locales are:

Danish (Denmark)
German (Germany)
English (UK)
Portuguese (Brazil)
Russian (Russia)

Note that "English (United States)" is not among the installed!

Locale maybe slightly misleading.
This is a list of languages that JIRA has been translated into. It is also linked to Java locales for Dates etc.

It is best to think of it as language more than locale.

Yes, I'm aware that locale should be thought of as language, but thats not the problem. It's just that the default locale/language is not listed under "Installed".

I know that its not installed like all the other locales because it is the native language of the software. But for the normal user it is still confusing that the default locale is not listed under "Installed".

The same problem is under "Profile -> View Preferences". Here is locale by default set to: "English (United States) (Default)". When clicking "Edit Preferences", locale is set to "None". "English (United States)" is not listed at all (Yes I know that it is the same as "None" - but for the regular user this could be confusing. You don't want to set the locale to "None" but to "English (United States)".

Can we change it, so that instead of (None) it says "Default (<System Encoding>)" ? That would be a better solution?

The default locale is now an i18ned setting. It is the same for the general system configuration and the user configuration, except that the user configuration picks up the general system default, and the general system default picks up the JVM default.

The current default English message is '{0} [Default]' where {0} is the locale display name eg. 'English (Australia)'
