Localization at the server and application level

In Server Administration, you can specify which will be the default settings for all your applications and server. At the server level, the localization settings specified here apply to every application that has not set its own value.

How to setup default localization:

1. Login to any application with your Site Admin user.

2. Go to Main Menu > Platform Settings > Account Settings and select Site Localization.

3. Choose your settings (for example Default language, Map language, Culture and Geocoder language), then click Save.

Your Server's default localization settings are now set!

Note: you need the Account Settings privilege to open Account Settings.

Localization settings per application

Localization settings per application mean that each of your customers could have different localization settings if needed.

How to create custom localization:

1. If you are in the application, choose the Main Menu > Platform Settings > Manage Applications

2. Point to your chosen application and click Edit in the Actions column:

3. Select Localization and edit the settings: Default language, Map language, Map region, Date time and number format, Time zone, Measurement, Fuel consumption unit and Paper size.

Map region tells Google Maps which country to use for place names and borders. The default, Automatic, follows the application's culture region. It currently only affects Google Maps.

4. Finish by clicking on Save. If you edited the application you are logged in to, a Settings saved dialog offers to reload the page so the changes take effect.

Note: localization settings for an application will apply to all users of the application. It is not possible to have different time zones, culture, etc. per user. However, users can choose their own language and, if their role allows it, their measurement units in User Settings.
