It's also the Swedish time format I believe[0]

That and the metric system is why en_SE is my preferred locale even though I’m not Swedish or in Sweden


Which decimal separator does it use? Windows’ "English (Sweden)" locale uses commas.


I'd assume comma, like en_DK.

I'd like an en_EU definition to be added, except I went to find an official definition[1], and found the EU uses both.

Elsewhere [2] it says the use of a comma is due to "technical limitations".

I use en_GB or en_IE, but

  export TIME_STYLE=long-iso
so I get ISO dates in many GNU programs like "ls".
