place or setting of an event

A particular place or area where something happens, often with a special feeling or style.

الگوی کاربرد: a [adjective] locale; the locale of [an event]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "locale" with the adjective "local." "Locale" is a noun meaning a place, while "local" usually describes something from a nearby area (e.g., "local food," not *"locale food"). Many situations where learners want to use "locale" are actually more natural with "place" or "location," so overuse of "locale" can sound too formal or literary.
هم‌معنی‌ها
location (More common and general; does not especially suggest atmosphere or character.) | setting (Often used for where a story, film, or event takes place, with strong focus on atmosphere.) | place (Very general everyday term; less formal and less specific than "locale.")
متضادها
anywhere (Suggests a non-specific place, the opposite of the specific, defined place implied by "locale.")
ترکیب‌های رایج
rural locale |urban locale |remote locale |exotic locale |picturesque locale |film locale

software language and region settings

In computers, a group of settings that control the language and how dates, times, and numbers look for a user or region.

الگوی کاربرد: set the locale to [a language/region]; support the [language] locale
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think "locale" here just means "language." In computing, a locale also includes rules for dates, times, numbers, and currency. Another mistake is using "local" instead of "locale" (e.g., *"change the local" is incorrect; it should be "change the locale").
هم‌معنی‌ها
regional settings (Common everyday term in software interfaces; less technical-sounding than "locale" but sometimes less precise in developer discussions.) | language settings (Focuses mainly on the language, while "locale" also includes formats for dates, times, numbers, and currency.)
متضادها
global settings (Refers to settings that are not specific to one user, region, or language, contrasting with the region-specific nature of a "locale.")
ترکیب‌های رایج
system locale |default locale |locale settings |language locale |change the locale |locale file
موضوع‌ها
technology |computing |communication
نمونه‌ها
