!     This example sets the locale to Swedish (<literal>sv</>) as spoken
      in Sweden (<literal>SE</>).  Other possibilities might be
      <literal>en_US</> (U.S. English) and <literal>fr_CA</> (French
      Canadian).  If more than one character set can be useful for a
      locale then the specifications look like this:
      <literal>cs_CZ.ISO8859-2</>. What locales are available under what
      names on your system depends on what was provided by the operating
!     system vendor and what was installed.  (On most systems, the command
!     <literal>locale -a</> will provide a list of available locales.)
