LOCALE:

LOCALE: is where the Amiga looks for language and country files when it needs to display non-English text. On floppy systems, LOCALE: is the Locale floppy. On hard disk systems, it is the SYS:Locale directory.

LOCALE: contains four directories:

Countries

Contains a .country file for all available countries. These files hold country-specific information, such as date/time format and monetary symbols.

Languages

Contains .language files for the available languages. These files hold general language-specific information, such as the days of the week.

Catalogs

Contains subdirectories for the available languages, each of which contains a Sys directory. This directory holds translated text for that language. Catalogs/<language>/Sys holds menu, gadget, and message text for that language.

Help (HELP:)

Contains subdirectories for the available languages, each of which contains a Sys directory. This directory holds translated text for that language. Help/<language>/Sys is reserved for AmigaGuide text files for any applications that have AmigaGuide help in that language.
