GLS locale filesThe locale file defines a GLS locale. It describes the basic language and cultural conventions that are relevant to the processing of data for a given language and territory.

Locale-file subdirectoriesThe subdirectories of the lcX subdirectory, where X represents the version number for the locale object-file format, contain the GLS locale files. These subdirectories have names of the form lg_tr, where lg is the 2-character language name and tr is the 2-character territory name that the locale supports.
