In addition, with '''supportedLocales''', the system will also support Venezuelan Spanish. The value <code>"all"</code> means that all locales supported by Glibc will be installed. A full list of supported locales can be found at https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/SUPPORTED.
