A Locale is a collection of parameters that affect how information is presented within a particular group of users. Generally, users from different Locales can be distinguished from each other on the basis of location and language. Locale settings can also determine things such as number formats, date and time formats, and calendar systems.
Locales for each system will have been added and configured prior to Manitou installation, but a user might sometimes need to modify Locale settings.
