locale specifies how to handle strings in your OS. Unicode is a multibyte character unlike ASCII. And there are too many encoder for unicode. OS needs to know how to decode bytes to string. Locale provides this information to OS about the decoder. It has some other functionality, but this is the principal one. -- M.
