| 1228 POSIX defines a concept of ``locales'' which control which language | |
| 1229 to use in language-related features. These Emacs variables control | |
| 1230 how Emacs interacts with these features. | |

| 1232 @defvar locale-coding-system | |
| 1233 @tindex locale-coding-system | |
| 1234 This variable specifies the coding system to use for decoding system | |
| 1235 error messages, for encoding the format argument to | |
| 1236 @code{format-time-string}, and for decoding the return value of | |
| 1237 @code{format-time-string}. | |

| 1241 @tindex system-messages-locale | |
| 1242 This variable specifies the locale to use for generating system error | |
| 1243 messages. Changing the locale can cause messages to come out in a | |
| 1244 different language or in a different orthorgraphy. If the variable is | |
| 1245 @code{nil}, the locale is specified by environment variables in the | |
| 1246 usual POSIX fashion. | |

| 1250 @tindex system-time-locale | |
| 1251 This variable specifies the locale to use for formatting time values. | |
| 1252 Changing the locale can cause messages to appear according to the | |
| 1253 conventions of a different language. If the variable is @code{nil}, the | |
| 1254 locale is specified by environment variables in the usual POSIX fashion. | |
