<para><command>localectl</command> may be used to query and change
|

the system locale and keyboard layout settings. It communicates with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-localed</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to modify files such as <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> and

<filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The system locale controls the language settings of system
|
|
services and of the UI before the user logs in, such as the
|
|
display manager, as well as the default for users after
|
|
login.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The keyboard settings control the keyboard layout used on
|
|
the text console and of the graphical UI before the user logs in,
|
|
such as the display manager, as well as the default for users
|
|
after login.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the changes performed using this tool might require
|
|
the initramfs to be rebuilt to take effect during early system boot.
|
|
The initramfs is not rebuilt automatically by <filename>localectl</filename>.
