My viewpoint would be that those "locale" parameters used at the 
configmgr API to select its behavior wrt localized properties have 
string values over a grammar of

  "*" | <BCP47 Language-Tag>

The only spoiler is that the concerned UNO objects (somewhat needlessly) 
also implement com.sun.star.lang.XLocalizable, which doesn't fit.
