Configuring locales
Specify a locale for an instance so information such as dates, times, and currencies display properly based on your location.
By default, the base system uses US standard formatting. For example, the currency default is the US dollar sign ($) displayed with two decimal places: $100.00. By customizing your locale, you can make things such as currency appear as you expect. For example, in France, you may want to see 100,00 € instead of $100.00.
Set the instance locale

About this task
You should set the instance locale before a system has gone into production and not change it after it goes into production. If a user's locale must be changed, update the Country code field on the user record.
Important:
The value of this property determines the system's default currency, or reference currency, into which all prices are automatically converted before other sums or conversions are performed. Changing this
property after any price or currency fields have been given a value (for Service Catalog items, Assets, Project Tasks, etc.) may result in improper conversion or prices that sum incorrectly.
