A locale is a specific dialect of a language spoken in a region such as Canadian French, Mexican Spanish, and US English. Localization is the process of customizing an application for a given language and region. This document describes how BlackBerry® AtHoc® has been localized to accommodate users with locales beyond US English.

Within the BlackBerry AtHoc system, Organization locales define the way the user interface appears to operators, while Delivery locales define the way BlackBerry AtHoc alerts appear to alert recipients. Although an organization can be associated with only one organization locale, it can be associated with multiple delivery locales. For more information, see Set delivery locales for an organization.

This document lists the organization locales supported by the BlackBerry AtHoc system and explains the process by which the system determines a user's locale and the impact of localization on the operator user interface. This document describes how to set delivery locales for an organization and how to specify a delivery locale when creating an alert. The characters supported in the system and a list of the localized and non-localized pages in the BlackBerry AtHoc system is also included.
