What components can be localized?

Every user created within IBM® Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation can have an associated preference for number formatting, date layout, and language. These preferences are called locale, and are identified as a pairing of a language code and a country or region code. Examples include en_US (English, US), fr_CA (French, Canada), fr_FR (French, France). A specific locale definition includes the following information:

To enable the association of data such as dates, times, and strings with locale-specific formats, Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation associates a locale with each user profile. This allows each user to use a locale-specific version of the product.

The locale definition associated with any organization defined in Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation is used to determine only the currency and unit of measure. Date, time, and time zone information is strictly related to each user.
