Definitions

  1. A set of parameters that defines a user's language, region, and cultural conventions — affecting date formats, number separators, currency symbols, and text sorting.

    In plain English: Settings that tell software how to display dates, numbers, and text based on the user's country and language.

    Example: "The bug only happened in Germany because the locale uses commas as decimal separators."
