To specify the User Application driver’s default locale:

  1. Right-click the User Application driver in the Provisioning View, then select Configure > Default Locale.

  2. Select the locale from the drop-down list box, then click OK. If you do not see the locale in the list, you must add it through the Locales dialog box.

You can either select them or type a value. The Language is required and displays as the locale. The country is not required.

    Deletes the selected Locale from the supported list. Any files for the selected locale are not deleted.

    Lets you localize all supported locales in one dialog box. When you click the button, it launches this dialog box:

    You can select the source language from which you want to translate the names of the supported locales. Select the target language into which you want to translate the names of the supported locales. Type the translation in the Target field.
