#### 15.1.18 lang

If this variable is set, it names the language code that the `gettext` command (see gettext) uses to translate strings. For example, French would be named as ‘`fr`’, and Simplified Chinese as ‘`zh_CN`’.

`grub-mkconfig` (see Simple configuration handling) will try to set a reasonable default for this variable based on the system locale.
