• English (U.S.)

• Italian
• Spanish
• Japanese

For more information on how to localize the out-of-the-box Windchill ESI solution, refer to the Enterprise Systems Integration Installation and Configuration Guide.
If you must support a different locale, in addition to the steps described in the Enterprise Systems Integration Installation and Configuration Guide, you may have to address:
• SAP code pages
• Windchill support
• Operating System support (for logging)
• The com_infoengine_locale attribute in the JMS header of Windchill ESI messages
• The ESISAPAdapter/Locale global variable
• Locale encoding in the Adapter for SAP configuration
• TIBCO product support (if developing in a language other than English).
