Adding a Locale

About this task

Now add a new locale to the WorldServer configuration. For this tutorial, add German as spoken in Germany, and English as spoken in the US, both with UTF-8 encoding.

Procedure

  1. On the Management > Business Rule Linkage > Locales page, click Add to display the Locale: New Locale page.

    Figure 1. The Locale: New Locale page

  2. From the Language list, select German (Germany) for German as spoken in Germany (as opposed to the German spoken in Austria or Switzerland).
  3. Notice that the Name field is already filled in with a suggested human-readable name. You can keep this name or supply another one.
  4. From the encoding list, select UTF-8.
    You have set the default encoding for the locale, but the encoding can be overridden for individual folders.
  5. In the Members area, select Admin and click the right arrow to add that user to the Users in locale list.
    This action associates users with locales. This step is useful later when you are using WorldServer workflow to assign tasks to users who are able to work in a specific locale.

    Right now, your installation contains just one user, Admin. When you create more users, you can add those users to existing locales (on the Create User page). And as you create new locales, you can add existing users to those locales (on the Create Locale page).

  6. Click Save.
    This step is important! If you navigate away from this page without saving your work, your changes are lost.
  7. Create another locale for English as spoken in the US, with encoding of UTF-8 and the Admin user as a member of the locale.
