talking about locale differences mainly in the format of date/number/percentage, English has UK and US as the major two.

As I plan to support Spanish and Arabic, I wonder are there simliar things in these two languages that I need to take care of?

question 1: if only one locale is used for Spanish or Arabic, which one should I use?
question 2: if there are differences in locale like what the US and UK have, what's the major two that I should use, and what shall I name them? e.g. Spanish, Spanish (????)
