Overview

You can assign a locale to an account so translated Product Catalog descriptions and transaction labels, and a specified currency format, display in your customer notifications. You can assign a locale to an account during account creation either via the UI (described below) or via the <locale_no> or <locale_name> parameter in the create_acct_complete_m API.

You may also update an account's assigned locale at any time via the update_acct_complete_m API.

Notes:

To assign a locale to an account, the locale setting must already exist.
Aria determines account notification locale in this order of precedence:
1. email template (associate an email template with a locale in the Aria Billing application at Configuration > Notifications > Email Templates),
2. the account (associate an account with a notification template group at Configuration > Notifications > Notification Template Group), then
3. your default language (set by Customer Support in the backend).

Assigning a Locale During Account Creation

Configure the Locale Setting on the Account Creation Template

Navigate to Configuration > Client Settings > Account Creation to create an account template.
Click Configure for the Locale setting.
Configure the Locale field as desired.

Configure Account Fields with Translations

Navigate to Configuration > Client Settings > Account Fields to configure any applicable account fields with translations for the associated locale. Refer to Create Account Fields for additional instruction.

Select the Locale During Account Creation

Navigate to Accounts > Create New Account to create a new account.
Choose the desired, pre-defined locale when creating an account from the Locale field.

Note: The locale must already be set up.

Selecting a locale in the Account Details section of the account creation (shown above), displays options that have been configured for the specified locale within the Account Fields and Plans sections.
Complete the account setup and click Save.
