Select a delivery locale for an alert

During the creation of an alert, an operator can specify a delivery locale that is different from the organization locale. Only one delivery locale can be associated with an alert, so if you need to send an alert in multiple languages, you must create separate alerts for each language.
  1. Log in to the
    BlackBerry AtHoc
     management system.
  2. Click
    Alerts
     >
    New Alert
    .
  3. On the
    Select from Alert Templates
     screen, select an alert template or click
    Create a Blank Alert
    .
  4. On the
    New Alert
     screen, in the
    Content
     section, click the language button and select the delivery locale that you want to use for the alert.
    Changing the delivery locale of an alert has no impact on the language displayed in the user interface. The organization locale, which cannot be changed, controls the display language of the fields within the
    BlackBerry AtHoc
     system.
  5. Create the alert, entering text written in the language that matches the delivery locale.
  6. Publish the alert.
    Alert recipients then receive an alert that is fully localized. The operator-provided content and the delivery template—the field names and preset, unchangeable content—match the delivery locale. If a text-to-speech engine is used to listen to the alert, all preset and operator-provided content is read aloud in the language of the delivery locale.
