Creating and modifying locales

Create or modify locale settings for users. The system supports the locale at the user level, organization level, and global level (installation parameter). The system automatically employs the locale of the user. If this locale is not valid, then the system uses the locale of the default organization of the user. Finally, if that locale is not valid, then the system employs the locale of the global setting.
