The SetLocale Function

Back

The SetLocale function sets the locale ID and returns the previous locale ID.

A locale contains a set of user preference information: like language, country, region, and cultural conventions. The locale determines such things as keyboard layout, sort order, date, time, number, and currency formats.

Syntax

SetLocale(lcid)

Parameter Description
lcid Required. A short string, hex value, or decimal value in the Locale ID chart, that identifies a geographic locale. If the lcid parameter is set to 0, the locale will be set by the system

Example 1

document.write(SetLocale(2057))
document.write(SetLocale(2058))
Output:
1033
2057
