Locale type

A locale is used to customize an application for a specific culture or region, in terms of language and formatting of texts, numbers etc. In Hive, a locale is identified by the two-letter language code as defined by the ISO-639 standard:

Locale.en

A locale can be optionally passed to a function such as Number.toText() to adjust how it is formatted.
