In this window you can view system locales.
By using this window, you can add new locales or edit details of existing system locales.
You can also override locale preferences, which specify how the system should display numbers, dates, and times on the user interface.
Also, on this window, you can set up the default language in which the system should display texts entered by a user if no text has been entered for a language associated with the locale a user is currently logged in.

The Language dialog box
You can use this dialog box to define the default language and alternative languages to be involved in the localisation of values a user enters to text fields of the system. The system automatically retrieves the languages from the system locales you have added.
