## Definition and Usage
The toLocaleUpperCase() method converts a string to uppercase letters according to the locale.
The locale is determined by the browser's language setting.
Usually, this method returns the same result as the [toUpperCase()](#) method, except for a few languages (like Turkish) that have locale-specific case mappings.
**Note:** The toLocaleUpperCase() method does not change the original string.
**Tip:** Use the [toLocaleLowerCase()](#) method to convert a string to lowercase letters according to the locale.
