The locale you set up determines the language in which on-screen literals display. The start.jsp file displays the Sign In screen in the default language. After a user logs in, the language displayed on-screen is determined from the settings specified within your locale.
Amultinational organization may want to localize several languages. For example, the standard installation is in German and a user's locale is French. In such situations, the start.jsp and login.jsp files are displayed in German and the user's home page is displayed in French. The language displayed within the login.jsp file is determined by the resource bundle used.
The user's entire session is displayed in the language specified in the profile. The language displayed changes if the user selects a different locale or the session terminates.
If the user selects a different locale, Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation dynamically changes all literals associated with the new locale.
The session terminates either when the user logs out or when a connection times out. When the session terminates, the Sign In screen displays the standard language.
