Locale

The Locale drawer is at the very heart of the Amigas multi-lingual abilities containing the files needed to configure the Workbench to any language. The drawer is separated into a number of sub-directories.

Catalogs

This contains the preference files for programs that have been localised. These programs use the Locale.library to automatically configure themselves to test the language that is being used by the system. They them use their own Catalog files to alter the language used by the program to match the system.

Countries

This contains the country location that the Amiga Workbench can be localised to. There are a number of other .Country files available for languages not featured in the AmigaOS distribution. These can be found on Aminet or at a PD library.

Help

The help drawer contains the Amigaguide online reference manuals that many applications include guiding the user through their program. Up until V1.6 AiG itself was stored in the English/sys/ subdirectory of this drawer replacing the default Amiga system guide.

Languages

The Locale drawer also contains a language subdirectory that stores every language that may be required for each country. This allows the user to set the main Workbench system to any language that they require, making the Amiga a truly international machine.
