How would you translate locale?

thanks,

lang2

The most authorative definition of this word can be
found on page 241, "The C Programming Language" (K&R):

 locale issues, that is, properties that depend on 
 local language, nationality, or culture.

This word is widely translated to the Chinese word of
"ÇøÓò <qu yu>". In my opinion, another word would be
more appropriate: ÏçÍÁ <xiang tu>.

Happy New Year!

This word maybe originated from 'Local Environment (the 'E')'. It may
have different meanings in different contexts. IMHO, better leave it as
a specail word not translated.

I think I'd prefer that. What can be better than less work? ;-)
