Locale

Sets the special locale array. Tries to use POSIX setlocale based on the value of itself, then tries to accept a custom setting with the proper definitions of mon_decimal_point, thousands_sep, and frac_digits, which are the the only international settings required. Default if not set is to use US-English settings.

Example of the custom setting: 

    Locale     custom mon_decimal_point , mon_thousands_sep . frac_digits 0

Example of POSIX setlocale for France, if properly aliased: 

    Locale     fr

See setlocale(3) for more information. If embedded Perl code is used to sort search returns, then the setlocale() will carry through to string collation.

MiniVend 3.07 extends the Locale array to accept many more settings. See Internationalization.
