Edit Locale Settings

Specify your time zone and the locale for your portal. The locale determines:

• The language in which your portal interface displays (portlet names and content display in the language you choose only if those portlets support your chosen language).

• The format for portal entries (including search requests). For example, if you choose British English, the portal displays and expects dates in the DD/MM/YYYY format, whereas in American English, the portal displays and expects dates in the MM/DD/YYYY format.

Note: Only the portal interface and localized objects display in the language you choose.

To specify your locale settings:

1. In the Your time zone drop-down list, choose your time zone.

2. In the Your locale drop-down list, choose the language in which you want your portal to display content.

3. When you are done specifying your settings, click Finish.

Note: The language of your personal greeting does not change if you change your locale.
