+@defgroup group_funcmacro_locale Locale-dependent functions
+@ingroup group_funcmacro
+
+Below are a number of functions/macros which accept as last parameter a
+specific wxXLocale instance.
+
+For the documentation of function @c wxFunc_l(), please see the documentation
+of the standard @c Func() function (see e.g. http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/c/string/start)
+and keep in mind that the wxWidgets function takes as last parameter the
+locale which should be internally used for locale-dependent operations.
+
+Last, note that when the @c wxHAS_XLOCALE_SUPPORT symbol is not defined,
+then wxWidgets will provide implementations of these functions itself 
+and that they are not granted to be thread-safe (and they will work only with the
+C locale; see @ref xlocale_avail).
