 Localization
 ************
 
 Some units have different values in different locations.  The
 localization feature accomodates this by allowing the units database to
 specify region dependent definitions.   A locale region in the units
 database begins with `!locale' followed by the name of the locale.  The
 leading `!' must appear in the first column of the units database.  The
 locale region is terminated by `!endlocale'.  The following example
 shows how to define a couple units in a locale.
 
      !locale en_GB
      ton                     brton
      gallon                  brgallon
      !endlocale
 
    The current locale is specified by the `LOCALE' environment
 variable.  Note that the `-c' option only checks the definitions which
 are active for the current locale.
