Explicación Oficial / Explicaciones de la Comunidad
The locale setting of an operating system defines language, cultural conventions, and formatting preferences for the user environment. It typically includes settings for language, character encoding, currency symbol, thousands separator, decimal point, date and time format, and collation order. However, the timezone is not part of the locale; it is a separate system setting managed by the timezone configuration (e.g., /etc/timezone or /etc/localtime).
How it Works
Locale settings are configured via environment variables such as LANG, LC_ALL, LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, etc. These variables control aspects like language (LANG=en_US.UTF-8), currency symbol (LC_MONETARY), and thousands separator (LC_NUMERIC). Timezone is independent and set via the TZ environment variable or system-wide configuration files.
