Setting a Locale for Administrative Object Localization
You must set the locale code in the mksis.im.adminObjectConfigurationLocales property. If you attempt to perform the administrative operations for Fields, Test Result Fields, Types, and States in the locale not supported by the localization property, an error message is displayed. This happens when the localization property is not set to the default (blank) value. To continue using the same locale, add the locale code in the locale property.
Setting a Locale from the CLI or WindchillRV&SInstallDir\bin
From the CLI of the Windchill RV&S client or WindchillRV&SInstallDir\bin, use the im setproperty --value=de mksis.im.adminObjectConfigurationLocales command. The value is a semicolon-separated (;) list of supported locales for Localization.
For the property to take effect, you must restart the server after running this command.
Setting a Locale from the Windchill RV&S administration client
1. From the Windchill RV&S administration client, select Admin > Workflows and Documents > Configuration > Properties.
2. Right-click mksis.im.adminObjectConfigurationLocales to edit it.
This localization property allows the administrator to set the locale code for which translations are required. When the property is set for a locale, it indicates that administrative operations such as create, edit, and view can be performed in that locale for the display name and description attributes of the administrative objects for Fields, Test Result Fields, Types, and States. When the default value for a locale is blank, it means that the administrator does not require translations to be used, and can use any of the PTC-supported locales to manage the administrative operations.

• The fallback mechanism is applied if the localization property does not contain a value that matches the client locale. For more information about fallback, see Fallback for Display Name and Description .
Clearing the Administrative Object Localization Property
You can clear the administrative object localization property by running the following command from the CLI or WindchillRV&SInstallDir\bin:
im setproperty --restoreDefault mksis.im.adminObjectConfigurationLocales
For the property to take effect, you must restart the server after running this command.
