POSIX defines a concept of "locales" which control which language
to use in language-related features. These Emacs variables control
how Emacs interacts with these features.
Variable:locale-coding-system
This variable specifies the coding system to use for decoding system
error messages, for encoding the format argument to
format-time-string, and for decoding the return value of
format-time-string.
Variable:system-messages-locale
This variable specifies the locale to use for generating system error
messages. Changing the locale can cause messages to come out in a
different language or in a different orthography. If the variable is
nil, the locale is specified by environment variables in the
usual POSIX fashion.
Variable:system-time-locale
This variable specifies the locale to use for formatting time values.
Changing the locale can cause messages to appear according to the
conventions of a different language. If the variable is nil, the
locale is specified by environment variables in the usual POSIX fashion.
