Configuring NLS Settings
• Using the NLS Class Packages
CAUTION:
InterSystems provides both the [Home] > [Configuration] > [NLS Settings] page of the
System Management Portal and the ^NLS routine for you to browse existing locales
and tables and for you to create custom locales. Do not edit the system locales and
tables (those in the InterSystems product distribution kit), as the next product update
will overwrite any changes you make.
For more information, see “National Language Support Settings” in the of Caché Additional Configuration
Settings Reference.
2.6.1 Using the NLS Settings Page of the System Management
Portal
You can configure many NLS settings using the System Management Portal. The options are parallel
to those in the ^NLS routine.
From the [Home] > [Configuration] page, click NLS Settings in the System Configuration column to
display the [Home] > [Configuration] > [NLS Settings] page.
You have two menu options under the Locale Definitions column:
• Locale Definitions
• Import Locale
2.6.1.1 Locale Definitions
From the [Home] > [Configuration] > [NLS Settings] > [Locale Definitions] page, you can select a locale
and perform several actions (the default of the locale field is always the current locale). Click the
appropriate option in the following list:
• Validate — Displays a message indicating the validation is successful or an appropriate error
message if it is not.
• Copy — Enter a locale name in which to create the copy. The new locale name must contain four
characters beginning with y and ending with 8 or w. The default description is Copy of %locale,
where %locale is the selected locale name. Click OK to add the copy to the drop-down list of
locale names or Cancel to close the dialog box and return to the Locale Definitions page.
• Export — Enter the file name to receive the export; it must be an .xml file. The default name is
loc_%locale.xml, where %locale is the selected locale. In addition, you can include the pathname
where you want to save the export file; if you do not specify the pathname, the default location
is install-dir\Mgr directory. Click OK to export the .xml file or Cancel to close the dialog box and
return to the Locale Definitions page.
