# VBScript SetLocale Function

Complete VBScript Reference

The SetLocale function sets the locale ID and returns the previous locale ID.

A locale contains a set of user preferences, like language, country, region, and cultural conventions. The locale also determines such things as keyboard layout, sort order, date, time, number, and currency formats.

### Syntax

    SetLocale(lcid)

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
lcid | Required. A short string, hex value, or decimal value in the Locale ID chart, that identifies a geographic locale. If the lcid parameter is set to 0, the locale will be set by the system

### Example 1

    document.write(SetLocale(2057))
    document.write(SetLocale(2058))

    Output:

    1033
    2057
