Suppose you want your application to run in French. The application will be used in France and data will be displayed using the WE8ISO8895P1 character set. You would set NLS_LANG as follows:

NLS_LANG=French_France.WE8ISO8895P1

Now, suppose you still want your application to run in French, but this time it will be used in Switzerland. You would set NLS_LANG as follows:

NLS_LANG=French_Switzerland.WE8ISO8895P1
