       This cdist type allows you to define locales on the system using localedef(1) or remove them.  On systems
       that don't support definition of new locales, the type will raise an error.

       NB: This type respects the glibc locale.alias file, i.e. it defines alias locales or deletes aliases of a
       locale  when  it  is  removed.  It is not possible, however, to use alias names to define locales or only
       remove certain aliases of a locale.

          # Add locale de_CH.UTF-8
          __localedef de_CH.UTF-8

          # Same as above, but more explicit
          __localedef de_CH.UTF-8 --state present

          # Remove colourful British English
          __localedef en_GB.UTF-8 --state absent
