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.

Famous quotes containing the word general:
“The man who would change the name of Arkansas is the original, iron-jawed, brass-mouthed, copper-bellied corpse-maker from the wilds of the Ozarks! He is the man they call Sudden Death and General Desolation! Sired by a hurricane, dam’d by an earthquake, half-brother to the cholera, nearly related to the smallpox on his mother’s side!”
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
