{{nixos:option|i18n.defaultLocale}} will set the language and the character set systemwide to the desired value. Specifically, defaultLocale will define the <code>LANG</code> environment variable.

In addition, with {{nixos:option|i18n.~~supportedLocales~~}}, the system will also support Venezuelan Spanish. The value <code>"all"</code> means that all locales supported by Glibc will be installed. A full list of supported locales can be found at https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/SUPPORTED.

In addition, with {{nixos:option|i18n.extraLocales}}, the system will also support Venezuelan Spanish. The value <code>"all"</code> means that all locales supported by Glibc will be installed. A full list of supported locales can be found at https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/SUPPORTED.

And in the {{nixos:option|i18n.extraLocaleSettings}}, it is possible to set the LC locales individually. This does allow fine-grained adjustments of the used locales. In the above example a mix of American English and Venezuelan Spanish is used. It is also possible to find these settings at [https://search.nixos.org/options NixOS options]. Just search for i18 locale.

{{note|The setting <code>i18n.~~supportedLocales~~</code> requires a different format to <code>i18n.extraLocaleSettings</code> with the added <code>/UTF-8</code>. Otherwise, your locale settings will likely not work.}}
