Impact of localization on the operator user interface

The language/locale that is selected affects the following features and components of the operator user interface:
  • Operator facing pages, excluding some administrative pages. The image below shows the
    BlackBerry AtHoc
     Homepage localized for the Italian (Italy) locale.

  • Out of the box default content, including alert templates, distribution lists, user attributes, and delivery templates. The following image shows the Target Users section of an out-of-the-box alert template localized for the Dutch (Netherlands) locale.

    Custom user attributes are not translated by default. Operators with administrator permissions can provide translations for custom attributes in
    Settings
     >
    Translate Custom Attributes
    .
  • Date/time default formats. The following image shows the User Details screen localized for the Dutch (Netherlands) locale, with the date and time information presented in the format most commonly used in the Netherlands.

  • The default Date, Time, and Time Zone values for a locale can be overwritten by modifying the corresponding fields on the Settings screen. See Change the default organization locale settings for more information.
  • Phone default formats. The following image shows the out-of-the-box settings for phone numbers on the New User screen, localized for UK English. The British flag icons in each field indicate that all numbers will be automatically prefaced with the British country code 44.

    The locale that the user selects can be different than the default locale of their organization.

  • Mobile alerts. For the mobile phone app, the app locale is based on the operating system settings of the phone. If you change your operating system settings, the app displays in the language of your phone, regardless of the delivery locale of a single alert or your organization’s settings. The following image shows the same alert as the desktop alert above, but displayed on a mobile phone with its operating system set to French (Canada).
