A locale class in java api represents a specific geographical, political, or cultural region. In java computing, locale defines a set of parameters that defines the user's language, country and any special variant preferences that the user wants to see in their user interface. An operation that requires a locale to perform its task is called locale-sensitive. And it also uses the locale to formulate information for the user.

1. Number Formats Setting
