+
+                <para>The basic file format of
+                <filename>locale.conf</filename> is a
+                newline-separated list of environment-like
+                shell-compatible variable assignments. 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.</para>

+                and are inherited by every service or user, unless
+                overriden or unset by individual programs or
+                individual users.</para>
+
+                <para>Depending on the operating system other
+                configuration files might be checked for locale
+                configuration as well, however only as
+                fallback.</para>
