In computing, C localization functions are a group of functions in the C programming language implementing basic localization routines.[1][2] The functions are used in multilingual programs to adapt to the specific locale. In particular, the way of displaying of numbers and currency can be modified. These settings affect the behaviour of input/output functions in the C Standard Library.[3]
