Which are non-interoperable Windows-only totally meaningless language and territory values to Cygwin startup or any Cygwin, Linux, or Unix program based on Unix libraries or code, so everything might map to the system default locale at best, or hardwired built-in C/POSIX locale at worst. That custom locale would be better if developed as a fr_CH replacement or supplementary Windows locale. -- Take care.
