-There are differences between User-locale and C-locale. C-locale, is the local, which is only effectual in C-environment.  Outside C-environment if there is no other locale set, the C-locale is then effectual, which is called "POSIX"-locale.
+There are differences between User-locale and C-locale. C-locale, is the local, which is only effective in C-environment. If there are no locales  set in user environment, then C-locale is effective, which is so called "POSIX"-locale.
 With C-command <code>setlocale (LC_ALL,"")</code> one set C-locale with User-locale. So one could retrieve details about User-locale information with C-functions.
