+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>The <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> file configures
+ system-wide locale settings. It is read at early boot by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>The basic file format of <filename>locale.conf</filename> is
+ a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible
+ variable assignments. It is possible to source the configuration
+ from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments, no
+ shell features are supported, allowing applications to read the
+ file without implementing a shell compatible execution
+ engine.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the kernel command line options
+ <varname>locale.LANG=</varname>,
+ <varname>locale.LANGUAGE=</varname>,

+ <varname>locale.LC_MEASUREMENT=</varname>,
+ <varname>locale.LC_IDENTIFICATION=</varname> may be
+ used to override the locale settings at boot.</para>
+
+ <para>The locale settings configured in
+ <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> are system-wide and are
+ inherited by every service or user, unless overridden or unset by
+ individual programs or individual users.</para>
+
+ <para>Depending on the operating system, other configuration files
+ might be checked for locale configuration as well, however only as
+ fallback.</para>
+
+ <para><citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>localectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ may be used to alter the settings in this file during runtime from
+ the command line. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ to initialize them on mounted (but not booted) system
+ images.</para>
