The region in the channel manager is not really a region but a locale

In the channel manager perspective, channels can be grouped by type or region. The region grouping doesn't group by region, but by locale.

For instance, a region called EMEA might lead to errors, because you have to set this on the mount and/or content path. (Invalid locale format: EMEA). This is even a problem in Belgium, using two languages.

Also, if you choose to set the property on the mount, it has to be set for every host name.
