Adding a Locale to the User Profile

Out of the box, the ATG platform includes five user profile locales that are defined in the profile repository:

In addition, the International module adds the following user profile locales:

If your new related regional store requires a different user profile locale, you must add it to the profile repository definition.

To add a new user profile locale to the profile repository:

  1. In <ATG10dir>/home/localconfig, create the following file:

    /atg/userprofiling/userProfile.xml

  2. Edit this file to include any new locales. Locales are defined in the dps_user table, under the locale property. Specify a language and country code, as defined by ISO 639 and 3166 respectively, for each new locale. Separate the language and country codes using an underscore, for example it_IT. You must also supply a unique code for each locale. When you are finished, your userProfile.xml file will look similar to the following:

    <gsa-template xml-combine="append">
      <item-descriptor name="user">
        <table name="dps_user">
          <property name="locale" >
            <option value="it_IT" code="107"/>
            <option value="en_IT" code="108"/>
          </property>
        </table>
      </item-descriptor>
    </gsa-template>

    Your changes will not take effect until you restart the ATGProduction and ATGPublishing servers, as discussed in the next section.
