This page is for administrators who need to configure location-specific settings for PhixFlow.

Overview

The locale specifies location-specific settings. You can set the locale:

  • for the whole PhixFlow system in System Configuration → General Settings → System Locale 
  • for users in Basic Settings → Locale.

Property Pane Toolbar

For information about the toolbar options, see the Common Properties page, Toolbars and Controls section.

 Properties Tab

FieldDescription
NameEnter the name of the locale.
Language NameSelect the language. To add a language to this list, see Language.
Date Style Name

Select the date style for this locale. To add a new entry to this list, see Date Style Mapping.

For example to represent dates in a US format for US users, set up a US Date Style. For each Date Time Format add a Date Style Mapping with a US date format and the US Date Style. This way for users with a US locale, the date will be displayed in the US format.

Application builders use the locale to translate text strings and date formats; see Translating an Application Interface for details.

The list of locales available in PhixFlow is a standard list. The presence of a specific locale does not indicate that translations are available for the locale.
If a user selects a Locale that has no:

  • PhixFlow client language file -  the PhixFlow GUI continues to be displayed in English (using the clientengb file).
  • application translation tables -  the application text continues to be displayed in English.
