Setup and Control of Locale Variables
The locale information is controlled in bothWindchill PDMLink and distribution target at the user level. TheWindchill ESI business logic does not translate language, date, or currency. In theWindchill ESI business logic, textual elements are not hard-coded; instead, they are stored outside the source code and retrieved dynamically.
The following describes how the locale information is controlled betweenWindchill PDMLink and EAI components and between EAI components and the distribution target.
