+The following example compiles a custom locale from the
+.I ./wrk
+directory with the
+.BR localedef (1)
+utility under the
+.I $HOME/.locale
+directory, then tests the result with the
+.BR date (1)
+command, and then sets the environment variables
+.B LOCPATH
+and
+.B LANG
+in the shell profile file so that the custom locale will be used in the
+subsequent user sessions:
+
+.nf
+$ \fBmkdir -p $HOME/.locale\fP
+$ \fBI18NPATH=./wrk/ localedef -f UTF-8 -i fi_SE $HOME/.locale/fi_SE.UTF-8\fP
+$ \fBLOCPATH=$HOME/.locale LC_ALL=fi_SE.UTF-8 date\fP
+$ \fBecho "export LOCPATH=\\$HOME/.locale" >> $HOME/.bashrc\fP
+$ \fBecho "export LANG=fi_SE.UTF-8" >> $HOME/.bashrc\fP
