selected by the usual system mechanisms.

<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-Language"></a>
<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-LANG"></a>
<p>On a typical Unix/POSIX-style system the locale is selected with the
<code class="env">LANG</code> environment variable, set to a language code and optional territory
and charset.  For example US English,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">LANG=en_US
export LANG
</pre></div>

<p>This is often set by the system administrator, but you can do it yourself in
your <samp class="file">~/.profile</samp> (see <a data-manual="bashref" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bash-Startup-Files.html">Bash Startup Files</a> in <cite class="cite">Bash Features</cite>).
</p>
<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-Language-codes"></a>
<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-Country-codes"></a>
<p>Language and country codes can be found in <a data-manual="gettext" href="https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Language-Codes">Language Codes</a> in <cite class="cite">GNU
<code class="command">gettext</code> utilities</cite>, and <a data-manual="gettext" href="https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Country-Codes">Country Codes</a> in <cite class="cite">GNU
<code class="command">gettext</code> utilities</cite>.  Usually there&rsquo;s only a few combinations
available on a system, run &lsquo;<samp class="samp">locale -a</samp>&rsquo; to see them.
</p>
<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-LANGUAGE"></a>
<p>Additionally, on a GNU system the <code class="env">LANGUAGE</code> environment variable gives a
list of language preferences for message translations (see <a data-manual="libc" href="https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_mono/libc.html#Using-gettextized-software">User influence on <code class="code">gettext</code></a> in <cite class="ci...
Reference Manual</cite>).  For example to have Italian preferred, otherwise Spanish,
otherwise English,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">LANGUAGE=it_IT:es:en
export LANGUAGE
</pre></div>

<p>Chart looks at <code class="env">LANGUAGE</code> too (on all systems) for the preferred language
for stock and commodity names.
