<h2><a name="description">Description</a></h2>
<p>LANG sets the locale. Setting the locale affects the following
MHonArc operations:
</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Message sorting: Locale properties for string collation are
applied when sorting messages by subject or author.
</p>
<li><p>Resource file loading: Locale-specific resource files
will be checked for. See
<a href="rcfile.html#locale">RCFILE</a> for more information.
</p>
<li><p>POSIX date/time formating: If
<a href="posixstrftime.html">POSIXSTRFTIME</a> is enabled,
locale-specific formatting will be applied.
See your system's <b><tt>strftime()</tt></b> manual page
for more information.
</p>
</ul>
<p>The basic format for specifying a locale is:
</p>
<pre><var>language</var>_<var>country</var>.<var>codeset</var>
</pre>
<p>Where <tt><var>codeset</var></tt></tt> and
<tt><var>country</var></tt> are optional. The <tt><var>language</var></tt>
and <tt><var>country</var></tt> are short codes
defined by the standards
<a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639">ISO 639</a>
(language) and
<a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code">ISO 3166</a>
(country),
The <tt><var>codeset</var></tt></tt> represents a specific character
encoding, like ISO8859-1. You will need to consult your system
documentation for what locales, and their formats, are supported.

<p>LANG gives you the ability to create locale-specific
archives on a single system. For example, let's say the you
manage several English-based archives and the default locale for
your system is <tt>en_US</tt>. However, you would now like to
host a Japanese-based archive on the same system.
</p>
<p>For the Japanese archive, you may want to set LANG as follows:
</p>
<pre class="code">
<b><Lang></b>
ja_JP
<b></Lang></b>
</pre>
<p>If you plan on using a specific codeset
(see
<a href="textencode.html">TEXTENCODE</a> and
<a href="charsetconverters.html">CHARSETCONVERTERS</a>)
you should specify the codeset. For example, if the archives will
be in UTF-8, you should use:
</p>
<pre class="code">
<b><Lang></b>
ja_JP.utf8
<b></Lang></b>
</pre>
