+<concept id="GUID-5C503AA6-FF44-5183-92D1-C06A141CDB38" xml:lang="en"><title>How
+to set the locale</title><shortdesc>Use <apiname>TLocale::Set()</apiname> to set the system-wide locale
+settings.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p/>
+<p>All applications subsequently using locale information will honour these
+settings. Note that most applications do not need to change the locale settings,
+they merely honour them. In this case, <codeph>Refresh()</codeph> should be
+used to refresh the contents of a <codeph>TLocale</codeph> object with the
+system's locale settings.</p>
+<p>To change the system locale and some of its locale-dependent date and time
+settings, implement code as follows:</p>
+<codeblock id="GUID-7648B92D-B13F-5B88-89ED-9907A3AA462F" xml:space="preserve">...
+    // Get current system locale information
+TLocale locale;
+    // Change date separators 1 and 2 to hyphens; date separators 0 and 3
+    // remain null characters
+locale.SetDateSeparator('-',1);
+locale.SetDateSeparator('-',2);
+
+    // set the locale to Southern hemisphere with
+    // a +10 hour time offset
+locale.SetUniversalTimeOffset(36000);
+locale.SetHomeDaylightSavingZone(EDstSouthern);
+
+    // Set daylight saving on for the southern hemisphere
+locale.SetDaylightSaving(EDstSouthern);
+
+    // set system locale settings
+locale.Set();
+....</codeblock>
