+### Locale and Editor
+
+The container defaults to English (`en_US.UTF-8`) and neovim as the editor. Override via environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|---|---|---|
+| `LANG` | System locale | `en_US.UTF-8` |
+| `LANGUAGE` | Language priority list | `en_US:en` |
+| `LC_ALL` | Override all locale settings | `en_US.UTF-8` |
+| `EDITOR` | Default text editor | `nvim` |
+
+All common UTF-8 locales are pre-generated in the image. Example for Swedish:
+
+```bash
+LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
+LANGUAGE=sv_SE:sv
+LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8
+```
