<p>What does the <code>locale</code> hash parameter do? If it changes the UI locale then why is it necessary - shouldn't the iD embedded in osm.org always try to use the same locale as osm.org itself?</p>

<p>iD still will use the locale from osm.org, but this was just added for users who want to override that for whatever reason (for example they are working on translation or doing a training or mapathon in a different language)..</p>
