22.3. Configuring the system locale


The system locale specifies the language settings of system services and user interfaces. System-wide locale settings determine the language, region, and formatting conventions used by an operating system and its applications. System-wide locale settings are stored in the /etc/locale.conf file that is read at early boot by the systemd daemon.

Every service or user inherits the locale settings configured in /etc/locale.conf, unless individual programs or individual users override them.

Procedure

  1. Optional: Display the current system locales settings:

    # localectl status
    System Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8
    	VC Keymap: de-nodeadkeys
       X11 Layout: de
  2. List available system locale settings:

    $ localectl list-locales
    C.UTF-8
    ...
    en_US.UTF-8
    en_ZA.UTF-8
    en_ZW.UTF-8
    ...
  3. Update the syste locale setting, for example::

    # localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

    For more information, see the localectl(1), locale(7), and locale.conf(5) man pages on your system.
