! This example sets the locale to Swedish (<literal>sv</>) as spoken
in Sweden (<literal>SE</>). Other possibilities might be
<literal>en_US</> (U.S. English) and <literal>fr_CA</> (French
Canadian). If more than one character set can be useful for a
locale then the specifications look like this:
<literal>cs_CZ.ISO8859-2</>. What locales are available under what
names on your system depends on what was provided by the operating
! system vendor and what was installed. (On most systems, the command
! <literal>locale -a</> will provide a list of available locales.)
