This page displays the configuration settings for locales. A locale is a unique combination of country and language. User locales can be used to define localized preferences for date, time, hours, days and decimal amounts (for example, weight, volume, monetary amounts). User locales are also used to determine the files that are used for help, text, and error messages.
List
By default, the list is grouped by language and sorted in ascending order by country.
For information on icons and functionalities available on the list pages, see Web Interface lists.

In the update mode, you cannot edit the country and language.
If an entry in the User Locale table is identified for the country and language associated with the user profile, the configuration for this User Locale will be used to localize the text and data that is presented to the user. If there is no entry in the User Locale table for the country and language associated with the user profile, the configuration for the User Locale where the Is Default Locale flag is true will be used.
If an override country is defined for text/error/help for a User Locale, the web UI will use the file that combines the text/error/help file language and the override country code for the User Locale (for example, Text_en_us). Otherwise, the web UI will use the text/error/help file that refers only to the text/error/help file language for the User Locale (for example, Text_en).
When Locales are created or modified, the related JS files must be regenerated before these many of the changes will be reflected on the UI.
