Body: <p>Brand new CiviCRM user here. Currently the default Language in Settings - Localization is English (United States). There are no other language options currently available in the Available Languages section. I would like the default language to be English (Australia), but can't find any information on how to do this. I notice that the Formatting Locale has many language options available, including the one I want. Any assistance appreciated, thanks!</p>
