The features of the user's environment that are dependent on language, country/region, and cultural conventions. The locale determines conventions such as sort order; keyboard layout; and date, time, number, and currency formats. In Windows, locales usually provide more information about cultural conventions than about languages.
Vail, Colorado, is an internationally known ski and golf destination. It's a prime timeshare locale. Panora, Iowa, may be a regionally known resort town, but it would be a stretch to say it has national recognition regardless of the quality of its resorts. It is not considered a prime timeshare locale, even though people in the Midwest may enjoy it a lot.
A concept that originated in the POSIX standard to identify a complex of cultural conventions (including a language) like number and date formatting, currencies, and
An international language and geographic region which also embodies common language and cultural information. Locale differs from language in that the same language may be spoken in more than one country. Locale also refers to the features of a userâ€(tm)s computing environment that are dependent on geographic location, language and cultural information. A locale specifically determines conventions such as sort order rules; date, time and currency formats; keyboard layout; and other cultural conventions.
A collection of information specifying the type of language used to present certain kinds of information to the user. A locale consists of things such as the language, the date format, the currency format, the time format, etc. None of these settings actually affect the information itself, but how that information is displayed according to the user's preferences. Locales are typically referenced in the API using a numeric identifier. Back
(1) The international environment of a computer program defining the localized behavior of that program at run-time. This information can be established from one or more sets of localization data. (See X/Open.) (2) Geographic locales are regions that share languages, cultures, and customs. (3) Computer locales define the user's environment--the conventions for a specific language and culture, including appropriate date and time formatting, character classification, sorting, and text handling. These locales are collections of processing variables used to specify how a process will execute. (4) Systems conforming to POSIX use locale categories such as LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, and LC_CTYPE, which define the user's sort sequence, monetary formatting, and character classification locales.

The set of information that corresponds to a specific language and country. A locale indicates specific settings such as decimal separators, date and time formats, and character-sorting order. machine DSN Stores connection information for a database in the system registry. The connection information consists of parameters and corresponding values that the ODBC Driver Manager uses to establish a connection. Compare with data source name. Contrast with file DSN.
A set of conventions determined by human language and customs, as defined within a particular user community These conventions include a particular written language, sorting orders, and formats for dates and numbers.
A set of files that define the native-language behavior of the program at runtime. The rules are usually based on the linguistic customs of the region or the territory. The locale can be set through an environment variable that dictates output formats for numbers, currency symbols, dates, and time as well as collation order for character strings and regular expressions. See also Global Language Support (GLS).
Refers to a language and the region (territory) in which the language is spoken. Information about the region includes formats for dates and currency, for example.
A set of attributes specific to a language and geographical region, e.g.date format, currency format etc. An example of a locale is: English (U.S.).
The location and language of a user; used for localization purposes. For example, U.S. English, Swiss, German, and Albanian are examples of locales. In Windows, you set your locale through the Regional Settings control panel.
The set of information that corresponds to a given language and country. A locale affects the language of predefined programming terms and locale-specific settings. There are two contexts where locale information is important: The code locale affects the language of terms such as keywords and defines locale-specific settings such as the decimal and list separators, date formats, and character sorting order. The system locale affects the way locale-aware functionality behaves, for example, when you display numbers or convert strings to dates. You set the system locale using the Control Panel utilities provided by the operating system.
A combination of language and region or country, such as French/Canada or English/UK. A number of attributes are often associated with a locale, such as number format, time and date formats, measurements, and currency.
The international environment of an application program that defines the language-dependent behavior of the program at run time. An application derives the locale based on internal procedures and a set of implementation-defined values.
The national and cultural environment in which a system or program is running. The locale determines the language used for messages and menus, the sorting order of strings, the keyboard layout, and date and time formatting conventions.
A collection of information about the linguistic and cultural preferences from a particular region. Typically, a locale consists of language, territory, character set, linguistic, and calendar information defined in NLS data files.
A set of conventions affected or determined by human language and customs, as defined within a particular geo-political region. These conventions include (but are not necessarily limited to) the written language, formats for dates, numbers and currency, sorting orders, etc.

(2) The international environment of a computer program defining the localized behavior of that program at run time.This information can be established from one or more sets of localization data. X-Open. (3) A definition of a user's linguistic and cultural environment, including appropriate date and time formatting, character classification, sorting, and text handling. This collection of processing variables specifies how a process will execute. Specification of a locale environment variable, such as en_US for United States English, identifies the tables for a specific mix of language, culture, and territory.
Identifies the collation order, character type, monetary format and time / date format used to present data for users of a specific region, culture, and/or custom. This includes information on how data of a given language is interpreted, stored, or collated. The locale also indicates which code page should be used to represent a given language.

In computing, locale is a set of parameters that defines the user's language, country and any special preferences that the user wants to see in their user interface (UI). Usually, a locale identifier consists of at least a language identifier and a region identifier. Locale differs from language in that the same language may be spoken in more than one country and embodies common language and cultural information. A locale specifically determines conventions such as sort order rules; date, time and currency formats; keyboard layout; and other cultural conventions.
A combination of language and region. Firstly this recognises that more than one language may be used in a single region or country. Secondly, it also recognises that although people in different regions may officially speak the same language, there are likely to be linguistic and non-linguistic differences between them that require specific treatment.
Set of conventions related to the language and customs of a particular geo-political area.
this is a file that defines the locale data for your language and country. A locale covers things such as: the names of months and days of the week, how to write dates in your language, how your write numebr and currency values, the sort order of your language and much else. This data is essential for a computer to support your language.
a collection of parameters that affect how information is expressed or presented within a particular group of users, generally distinguished from one another on the basis of language or location (usually country). Locale settings affect things such as number formats, calendrical systems and date and time formats, as well as language and writing system.
A combination of a language and a particular geographic region (usually a country) where the culture is distinctive enough to merit the use of different terminogy and web page design practices. Locales usually have character sets suited to representing their scripts, and custom fonts for their character set.
A generic term indicating a set of attributes related to language and other regional/ethnic preferences. Examples include currency symbol, date and time format, calendar type, number formats, default character encoding, and keyboard layouts. Microsoft uses this term in combination with others to specify a subclass of these preferences. See input locale, system locale, and user locale.
A subset of a user's environment that defines conventions for a specified culture, such as time formatting, numeric formatting, monetary formatting, and character classification, conversion, and collation.
Locales are sets of attributes related to language and/or regional settings. These attributes range from currency symbols (€ for European, $ for US-American settings, for example) to number formats (1.000,00 for European, 1,000.00 for US-American settings) to date/time formats, and other things. To set the locale for i-net Designer XML, go to Options under “File”.
