Default locale
--------------
The locale is used to define how dates and other formats are displayed. Nextcloud
should automatically pick an appropriated locale based on your current language.
Users can modify their locale inside their settings panel.
If that does not work properly or if you want to make sure that Nextcloud always
starts with a given locale, you can set a **default_locale** parameter in the
:file:`config/config.php`.

.. note:: The default_locale paramenter is only used when the user hasn't configured
own locale preferences.

Force locale
--------------

If you want to force a specific locale, users will no longer be able to change
their locale in the personal settings. You can set a **force_locale** parameter
in the :file:`config/config.php`.
