+Default locale
+--------------
+The locale is used to define how dates and other formats are displayed. Nextcloud
+should automatically pick an appropriated locale based on your current language.
+Users can modify their locale inside their settings panel.
+If that does not work properly or if you want to make sure that Nextcloud always
+starts with a given locale, you can set a **default_locale** parameter in the 
+:file:`config/config.php`.
+
+.. note:: The default_locale paramenter is only used when the user hasn't configured
+   own locale preferences.

+Force locale
+--------------

+If you want to force a specific locale, users will no longer be able to change
+their locale in the personal settings. You can set a **force_locale** parameter
