Current behavior Pipes clearly state in the documentation that they use INTL to display numbers, dates, etc in the user culture. INTL is indeed used, but there is a hardcoded ‘defaultLocale = “en-US”’ in the various pipe sources and it is used like that, so the user cultuer is ignored.

Expected/desired behavior Instead of using a hardcoded culture value let INTL infer the culture to use from the user settings, as it should be and as the documentation already explains.

Reproduction of the problem If the current behavior is a bug or you can illustrate your feature request better with an example, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem via https://plnkr.co or similar (you can use this template as a starting point: http://plnkr.co/edit/tpl:AvJOMERrnz94ekVua0u5).

What is the expected behavior? As described above

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? It is not working as it should

Please tell us about your environment:

• Angular version: 2.0.0-rc.5
• Browser: [all]
• Language: [all]

In Angular Final 2.0.0 the problem still persists. In core.umd.js at line 7930:

{ provide: LOCALE_ID, useValue: 'en-US' },

The only way to localize my app is to edit the source and change the culture, but still no dynamic culture based on the user settings.

This is the “Final” release of Angular2 not an RC anymore, this was supposed to be fixed.

Did anybody thought about not defaulting the world to en-US?

useless debate.
