+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para>The <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> file configures
+    system-wide locale settings. It is read at early boot by
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+    <para>The format of <filename>locale.conf</filename> is a newline-separated list of environment-like
+    shell-compatible variable assignments, ignoring comments and empty lines. It is possible to source the
+    configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments, no shell features are
+    supported, allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution
+    engine. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for a
+    detailed description of the format.</para>

+    <para>The locale settings configured in

+    inherited by every service or user, unless overridden or unset by
