Setting the default locale within the Locale Management tool determines the default locale for the entire organization. If a course or user's locale preferences are not set, the system uses the default locale.

Important: You can only have one default locale at any given time. It should be the locale that best reflects the needs of your users and organization. You cannot delete the default locale. A locale must be active before you can set it as default. For more information about locales, refer to About Manage Locales.
