Yes, it is pretty ... chaotic. (I use WinXP)
There are different settings and some applications try to "guess" the correct
language or locale (getting it wrong often).

Although I guess most people have consistent settings of Language/Location/Formats,
Like Turkish keyboard, turkish language, Turkey (location) and turkish Standards and formats,
so "guessing" would work out ok in most cases.

(by "guessing" I mean reading out one of the system settings)
