Setting the system locale

The system default locale is originally configured during installation. To change the system default locale, log in as root and start the International Settings Manager. Select ``Locale'' in the main screen and select Settings Modify , or simply double-click on ``Locale''.

This setting determines the default locale for all programs and users on the system. Click on the ``Locale'' to select from a list. Your locale selection automatically sets the keyboard and codeset, but you can override these defaults by clicking on the ``Keyboard'' or ``Codeset'' to choose from a list.

In addition to establishing a system-wide locale, you can override the system defaults for each user.
