@Entity
public class Locale
extends SimpleEntity

Entity representing a locale, a localized language. Locale is always associated with a language an can optionally have a country and an extension.
iso2Code: lower case 2-letter code according to ISO standard, must be unique for all languages
iso2Code: lower case 3-letter code according to ISO standard, should be unique for all languages, but this is not enforced by database
Special languages in the system (signaled by internalDescription):

• DEFAULT_LOCALE: there can only be one locale marked as default, the locale referencing the default language without country and extension
• UNDEFINED_LOCALE: locale used for locale independent data where database requires a locale, references the undefined language
