Locale Categories

You can use the following general and specific categories as defined by ANSI C for the Traditional Chinese and English locales.

• General LC_ALL setting that invokes all of the categories for locale-related aspects of the system.

• Specific settings for particular aspects of the system, which include:

  • LC_CTYPE

  • LC_TIME

  • LC_NUMERIC

  • LC_MONETARY

  • LC_COLLATE

  • LC_MESSAGES

For example, the Traditional Chinese and the English/ASCII locales have the LC_TIME category that defines the display of the time and date according to the cultural format, as well as the actual Traditional Chinese or English/ASCII characters used in the display.
