In the post-$localize world the current locale value is defined by setting `$localize.locale` which is then read at runtime by Angular in the provider for the `LOCALE_ID` token and also passed to the ivy machinery via`setLocaleId()`. The $localize compile-time inlining tooling can replace occurrences of `$localize.locale` with a string literal, similar to how translations are inlined. // FW-1639 See https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/15896 PR Close #33314
