Hmm, I'm curious what happens when a less common locale such as en_ZA is used and a certain application does not, for example, it has no translations for en_ZA. As I understand it, it will default to trying simply en as a locale, but is en equivalent to en_US or en_GB which are two locales applications are more likely to implement. Since a considerable amount of the software is written in the US, I'd expect that for some applications en would translate to en_US even though en_GB is a more appropriate substitute for en_ZA. (Unless I'm mistaken, I have only been to South Africa once.)
