## 25`` Locale

`module Locale(TimeLocale(..), defaultTimeLocale) where data TimeLocale = TimeLocale { wDays :: [(String, String)], -- full and abbreviated week days months :: [(String, String)], -- full and abbreviated months amPm :: (String, String), -- AM/PM symbols dateTimeFmt, dateFmt, -- formatting strings timeFmt, time12Fmt :: String } deriving (Eq, Ord, Show) defaultTimeLocale :: TimeLocale`

The `Locale` library provides the ability to adapt to local conventions. At present, it supports only time and date information as used by `calendarTimeToString` from the `Time` library.
