This section describes the internationalization design considerations provided by Windchill ESI. You need to be aware of these when deployingWindchill ESI in an environment that traverses international boundaries.

Windchill ESI manages language data on a per transaction basis.Windchill ESI service detects an appropriate language fromWindchill PDMLink and communicates it to EAI software components via the JMS header property com_infoengine_locale that is sent with the Windchill ESI repsonse message. Windchill EAI software components set this language for all subsequent sub-transaction requests toWindchill PDMLink or to the enterprise system. Windchill ESI Services get the language from the Change Administrator III's preferred language, if set, otherwise it uses the Windchill method server language.
