https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd has many occurrences of

For several somethings, the result of command,
service something COMMAND
approximates the result of
systemctl COMMAND something.service
although systemctl might be more powerful.
Does the relationship between service and systemctl parallel that
between ifconfig and ip? service is a legacy command?
How about consulting man 8 service rather than a wiki webpage.
More elaborately: Before searching the web (for topics of this sort),
consider checking your local system's documentation.
Local resources are often more relevant. And if you have interest in a
topic, then it is good to discover what resources exist on the system
you actually use:

$ man -f locale # equivalently, "whatis locale"
locale (7) - description of multilanguage support
locale (1) - get locale-specific information
