A locale determines how online information is displayed in a specific language and region. A language might also include more than one locale to accommodate regional differences, such as differences in the format of date and time, numeric and monetary conventions, and spelling.
For example, to use English with British spelling, use English for Great Britain (en_GB). To use English with American spelling, use English for the United States (en_US). Table 38–1 lists the values needed to set the locale keyword in a profile or to preconfigure a locale.
You might need to install a localized version of Solaris 8 to use a particular locale. Additional information about locales is presented in the Solaris Internationalization Guide For Developers.
