->This module of the &kde; control centre allows you select customisation options that depend on the region of the world that you happen to live in. There are five different pages in this module, each of which is described in detail in the following sections.</para>
-
-<para
->In most cases, you can simply select the country you live in, and the other options will be set in an appropriate manner.</para>
-
-<para
->Below the pages of this module, you can see a preview of what the settings look like. In addition to positive and negative numbers, you can see how positive and negative currency values, long and short dates, and times are displayed. When you change any of the settings, the preview shows the effects of the changes before you apply them.</para>

-<para
->On this page, there are two lists, from which you can select the country and languages that you want to use.</para>
-
-<para
->When you click on the <guilabel
->Country</guilabel
-> list, a menu pops up showing major groups of countries. You can select one of these regions and see a list of the countries that are available for that region.</para>
-
-<para
->If the language for the country you have selected is available on your system, it will be selected automatically. For instance, choosing <guilabel
->Germany</guilabel
-> as the country will select <guilabel
->German</guilabel
-> as the language, if it is available.</para>

->Numbers</title>
-
-<para
->On this page, you can select options for how numbers are displayed. The defaults are selected automatically based on the country which is currently selected.</para>
-
-<para
->In the text box labelled <guilabel
->Decimal symbol</guilabel
->, you can type the character that you want to use to separate the decimal portion of numbers. You could put anything here you wanted to, but really, <userinput
->.</userinput
-> and <userinput
->,</userinput
-> are the two characters that make the most sense.</para>
-
-<para
->Similarly, you can choose the character which is used to group units of thousands in numbers. If no character, not even a space, is present, then there will be no separator for thousands.</para>
-
-<para
->Finally, you can choose what character should be prefixed to positive and negative numbers respectively. For example, the default for English is not to have any prefix for positive numbers, and a <userinput
->-</userinput
-> for negative numbers.</para>

-<para
->Unlike the display of ordinary numbers, conventions for currency values do vary from region to region. However, you will find that the defaults are probably fine.</para>
-
-<para
->The character or characters representing the currency symbol are based on the country that is currently selected. The decimal symbol and thousands separator work as they do for numbers. The text box labelled <guilabel
->Fract digits</guilabel
-> allows you to specify the number of fractional digits used in displaying currency values.</para>
-
-<para
->For both positive and negative currency values, you can control whether the currency symbol appears before or after the numeric value, and how the sign of the value is distinguished in the display. Note that the symbols used for the sign of currency values are the same as those used for other numeric values.</para>
-
-<para
->If the checkbox labelled <guilabel
->Prefix currency symbol</guilabel
-> is selected, the currency symbol appears before the numeric value. If this checkbox is cleared, then the currency symbol appears after the numeric value.</para>
