Locale - General Locale Settings

General Locale Settings

These settings usually include the following display (output) format settings:

• Number format setting
• Character classification, case conversion settings
• Date-time format setting
• String collation setting
• Currency format setting
• Paper size setting
• other minor settings ...

The locale settings are about formatting output given a locale. So, the timezone information and daylight saving time are not usually part of the locale settings. Less usual, but worth mentioning, is the input format setting. This is mostly defined on a per application basis.

Furthermore, the general settings usually include the keyboard layout setting.
