This sample sets the `LocaleOptions` header to the locale of the logged-in user, and then performs a describe on Account.

```codesegment
public void localeOptionsExample() {
  try {
    connection.setLocaleOptions("en_US");
    connection.describeSObject("Account");
  } catch (ConnectionException ce) {
    ce.printStackTrace();
  }
}
