Meanings
noun
The place where something happens.

Examples :

"Being near running water and good shade, the explorers decided it was a good locale for setting up camp."
place area
noun
A partially ordered set with the following additional axiomatic properties: any finite subset of it has a meet, any arbitrary subset of it has a join, and distributivity, which states that a binary meet distributes with respect to an arbitrary join. (Note: locales are just like frames except that the category of locales is opposite to the category of frames.)

Examples :

"Because the mathematical definition of "locales" is highly technical and not used in everyday language, it is impossible to create a sentence about real-life situations that accurately uses the word in that way. "
