Abstract

Product: Infinite BrassRing

Locales in BrassRing

  • BrassRing is a globalized software application. Globalization refers to the set of practices and tools that are used to develop software so that it can be translated and adapted to the language conventions of different regions and countries. Globalization ensures that all displayed text in the user interface, workflow items, and transactional data is set appropriately for different world locales.

  • BrassRing cannot determine the preferred locale of the non-system users. BrassRing attempts to display user interface text in the language of the user’s locale. The locale is stored in BrassRing for system users. To determine which language to use for non-system users, BrassRing takes the following actions.

    • If the user’s locale is not known, BrassRing displays the browser language.

    • If the browser language is not supported, BrassRing displays the language of the client’s base locale. Alternatively, if the client enables this feature, BrassRing determines whether it can use a next-best language for a non-system user. The client must have already purchased and enabled the locale to use it as the next-best language for the non-system user.

    • BrassRing login screen is localized. Each time a user accesses the client's URL from a browser, the system checks whether the language of the user's browser setting is a language purchased by that client. If a match is found, the login screen opens in that language. Otherwise, it opens in the client's base locale.

  • Locales must be purchased before they can be applied.

  • Implementing a language in the BrassRing system requires a number of configuration steps to be taken. Standard BrassRing fields are translated automatically but custom fields are not, therefore translations have to be provided by your organization to successfully roll-out additional languages. Throughout Workbench, fields, options, or labels that are translatable are indicated with the plus icon. Selecting this icon allow you to translate the item. The below checklist includes items that must be translated in order to utilize the specific part of the system in the desired language.
