Locale

A GLS or description locale is a set of files that contain information specific to a particular language and culture:
  • The name of the code set that the application data uses
  • The collation order to use for character data
  • The format in which different types of data appears to users

The default locale is the locale that your Windows installation uses. For example, Windows installations running U.S. English use the en_us.1252 locale. To change the locale, type a new locale specification in the Description Locale text box. See the HCL Informix® GLS User's Guide for more information about locales and how to access a list of available locales.
