A locale is a language and territory combination, for example, English (United States) or French (Canada). Oracle BI Publisher uses the report locale selection to determine the following:
The template translation to apply
The number formatting and date formatting to apply to the report data.
Note: | A particular report must have an available template translation for the selected locale. If not, Oracle BI Publisher applies a locale fallback logic to select the template. For more information, see Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher User's Guide. |
The appropriate number and date formatting are applied independently of the template translation.
