Choosing the default locale for a study

If you do not specify a locale for localizable study data, the data is saved according to the default locale for the study. Study data that is not localizable, such as a RefName, is not saved according to a locale. You specify a default locale in the Central Designer application. You do not need to restart the Central Designer application after selecting a default locale.

1. Select Tools > Options.

   The Central Designer Options dialog box appears.

2. From the Default locale drop-down list, select a locale.

   Note: If you do not select an option, the regional setting is used as the default locale. The regional setting is set in the Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Regional Options tab > Standards and formats section.

3. Click OK.
