About the WEBLANGUAGE Session Variable

Analytics License: Analytics Applications only.

Operating Systems: All.

This topic gives more information on the subject of localizing Siebel Analytics Applications deployments.

The session variable WEBLANGUAGE is passed from Siebel Analytics Web to the Siebel Analytics server. In an integrated Siebel Analytics application environment, the value of the WEBLANGUAGE variable is what determines the value of the LOCALE variable for externalized display names.

WEBLANGUAGE is set to the language of the user's browser when a user first logs on to an integrated Siebel Analytics application. For example, if a user with a browser language set to French logs on to Answers for the first time, the value for WEBLANGUAGE is French, and the metadata is translated to French.

In the Siebel Analytics platform, WEBLANGUAGE is set by the user choosing a language on the logon window. After the first logon, WEBLANGUAGE is reset or changed in the My Account page of Siebel Analytics Web.
