International Settings

Culture-aware number and text formatting can be used with:

• The web-based client

• The Excel add-in

• Server components

For consistency, we recommend that each user’s Culture setting match the Windows Regional settings of their primary computer.

Specifying Culture Settings on the Client Machine Operating System

Number and text formatting for Microsoft Excel is controlled by the client operating system’s Windows Regional settings.  To configure these settings:

1. Access the operating system’s Control Panel and select Region.

2. Click Format and set properties to reflect regional preferences. For exmple:
   
   

3. Click Location and set the Home Location to reflect the operating system’s location such as Canada, Germany or Australia.

Specifying Server Side User Culture Settings

For the web based client and server components, specify culture settings for users by modifying user profiles in Security. The necessary culture codes must first be defined in the Application Server Configuration file.
