Examples¶
## Not run:
oldloc <- stri_locale_set('pt_BR')
## You are now working with stringi_1.7.4 (pt_BR.UTF-8; ICU4C 69.1 [bundle]; Unicode 13.0)
# ... some locale-dependent operations
# ... note that you may always modify a locale per-call
# ... changing the default locale is convenient if you perform
# ... many operations
stri_locale_set(oldloc) # restore the previous default locale
