GOAL:
What is a "locale"
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows 2000
FIX:
In the Windows operating systems, a locale is a set of user preference information related to the user's language, environment and/or cultural conventions. This information is represented as a list of values used to determine the correct input language, keyboard layout, sorting order, and the formats used for numbers, dates, currencies and time. In order for a particular locale to be available for selection, the appropriate language group must be installed.
Windows 2000 includes support for 126 different locales ensuring that users around the world can configure their systems to use the correct formats for their own language and region.
Locale support in Windows is provided through a number of different locale settings: the user locale; input locales; and the system locale. Taken together, these settings offer users a great deal of flexibility when setting up a machine.
