# Description

`systemd-localed.service` is a system service that may be used as mechanism to change the system locale settings, as well as the console key mapping and default X11 key mapping. `systemd-localed` is automatically activated on request and terminates itself when it is unused.

The tool `localectl(1)` is a command line client to this service.

See `org.freedesktop.locale1(5)` and `org.freedesktop.LogControl1(5)` for a description of the D-Bus API.
