# 2.3. Locale

This section is handled by a standard KDE library. The only keys that are likely to have any effect are:

     Country
     Language
     Charset

A short description of the keys:

`Country`

  indicates the country. Look in `$KDEDIR/share/locale/l10n` for the complete list of country codes supported by your system. The country code is used to locate the file `$KDEDIR/share/locale/l10n/country_code/entry.desktop` which is used to provide locale-specific information such as time and date formats and the local currency symbol.

`Language`

  indicates the language to use for kdm (default: `C`, representing US English). The value can be over-ridden by the `KDE_LANG` environment variable.

`Charset`

  indicates the character set to use (default: `iso-8859-1`).

| If you change the keys but all the dialogue text remains in English, this probably indicates that you do not have the translations installed on your system.
