+  <para>Note that you can modify <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> with
+  Systemd <command>localectl</command> utility. To use <command>localectl</command>
+  for the example above, run:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>localectl set-locale LANG="<replaceable>&lt;ll&gt;_&lt;CC&gt;.&lt;charmap&gt;&lt;@modifiers&gt;"</replaceable></userinput></screen>
+
+  <para>You can also specify other language specific environment variables such
+  as <envar>LANG</envar>, <envar>LC_CTYPE</envar>, <envar>LC_NUMERIC</envar> or
+  any other environment variable from <command>locale</command> output. Just
+  seperate them with a space. An example where <envar>LANG</envar> is set as
+  en_US.UTF-8 but <envar>LC_CTYPE</envar> is set as just en_US is:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="en_US"</userinput></screen>
+
+  <note><para>Please note that <command>localectl</command> command can
+  be used  only on a system booted with Systemd.</para></note>

   <para>The <quote>C</quote> (default) and <quote>en_US</quote> (the recommended
   one for United States English users) locales are different. <quote>C</quote>
