Conventions used for representing locale sensitive information, for example -date and time formatting, the currency symbol and units of measurement are -encapsulated by the TLocale class.

Using this class, applications can set and retrieve:

the country code — up -to 3 digits corresponding to the international dialling prefix
the currency format — -including whether the currency symbol occurs before or after, whether negative -values are represented with brackets or a minus sign and whether triads are -allowed. Note that the currency symbol cannot be set from within TLocale. -Use User::SetCurrencySymbol() to set the currency symbol -and the TCurrencySymbol class to retrieve it.
numeric values — the -thousands separator, and decimal separator characters
date and time format — -for example, instance separator characters, ordering of date components, positioning -of am/pm text
calendar settings — -the first day of the week, which days are work days
time zone information -— a locale’s time offset from universal time, the zones -in which daylight saving is in effect
units of measurement — -imperial or metric

Functions are provided for getting these values, which all applications -should honour. Functions are also provided for setting them, which should -normally only be used by a customisation application.
