single string of the form Language, Language_Country, or Language_Country_Variant, e.g., 'en_US', see stri_locale_list.

Value

# NOT RUN {
oldloc <- stri_locale_set('pt_BR')
# ... some locale-dependent operations

# ... changing the default locale is convenient if you perform
# ... many operations
stri_locale_set(oldloc) # restore the previous default locale
# }
