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.
