.IP
Faker can take a locale as an optional argument, to return localized data. If
no locale argument is specified, the factory falls back to the user's OS
locale as long as it is supported by at least one of the providers.
.IP
\- for this user, the default locale is en_US.
.IP
If the optional argument locale and/or user's default locale is not available
for the specified provider, the factory falls back to faker's default locale,
which is en_US.
