Per-thread locale in linux

Is it possible to specify per-thread in Linux?

+3  A: 

No. setlocale(3) changes it for the whole process.

+2  A: 

Yes, you kinda can do that. However not per-thead, but only per-call, using locale_t structures.

Read more about that at POSIX:

`uselocale` ( http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/uselocale.html# ) does let you set a thread-local locale.
