Why each option
The locale setting in an operating system defines language, regional formats, and character encoding, but it does not directly manage the system's timezone.
The locale settings (specifically LC_MONETARY) define the currency symbol and formatting for monetary values.
The locale settings (e.g., LANG, LC_MESSAGES) determine the language used for system messages and user interfaces.
The timezone setting is managed separately, typically by /etc/timezone or by symlinking /etc/localtime to a file in /usr/share/zoneinfo, and is not a component of the locale configuration.
The locale settings (specifically LC_NUMERIC) define how numbers are formatted, including the thousands separator.
