Create Locale Settings

Overview

You can create language locales that specify language translations of system transaction types and define a currency format for emails you send to your customers. A default locale of System_US_English_locale already exists.

Once you create a locale, you can:

  1. associate it your customer accounts, and
  2. associate it with translations of product catalog elements. For elements that are defined in open text fields, a translation link is provided next to the field. The translation link opens a menu to select a locale and define a translation for the field. See Multi-language Translation of Product Elements for more information.

You can edit any user-created locales from the Locale Settings page. If the locale is already used by an email template, the system displays a lock icon indicating it cannot be deleted. Likewise, if it is a system locale, a system icon displays indicating it cannot be deleted nor edited.

Creating a New Locale Setting

Getting Here: Click Configuration > Client Settings > Locale Settings

    Note: You can also create a new locale by copying an existing locale and providing a new name and description. The other field values transfer over and can be edited before saving the new locale.

  1. Enter a locale name into the Locale Name field (required).
  2. Enter a description into the Description field.
  3. Select a Currency format. When not specified, Aria uses your client-level currency format settings (Configuration > Client Settings > Miscellaneous Settings) or the system-wide default (0,000,000,000.00).

    Available Currency Formats

    Notes:

    1. When not specified, Aria uses your client-level currency format settings (Configuration > Client Settings > Miscellaneous Settings > Default Currency Format Mask) or the system-wide default (0,000,000,000.00).
    2. Aria will display transaction amounts to the precision you specified when adding the currency you are associating with the locale you are configuring.
  4. Fill in all applicable Translation Name information. View a complete list of translatable values.
  5. Click Save.

All created locales display in the Aria email template Locale drop-down. The default value for this drop-down is System_US_English_locale. The locale you select when creating or updating an email template determines the language, number, and date formats in customer communications.
