It's recognized by the C library, both on Windows and Unix. The full
format is

<lang>_<country>@<modifierlist>.<charset>

By default, each <lang> implies a default <charset>, which can be
overridden. On Linux, <charset> is a IANA name (e.g. de_DE.ISO-8859-15);
on Windows, it is a code page (e.g. german_Germany.1252).
