Setting the available locales

Big Data Discovery is configured with a list of available locales. This list is used to populate the list for configuring the default locale, user default locale, and the available locales displayed for the Change locale option.

You can add a the setting to portal-ext.properties to constrain the list.

There is an implicit list of the locals that Studio supports:

locales=en_US, en_UK, es_ES, ja_JP, ko_KR, pt_BR, zh_CN

To constrain this list:

  1. Log in to the machine running Studio, locate portal-ext.properties and open it in a text editor.
  2. Copy the following locales parameter to a new line in the file:
    locales=en_US, en_UK, es_ES, ja_JP, ko_KR, pt_BR, zh_CN
  3. Update the list to remove the locales that you do not want to be available in Studio.

    For example, to only support US English, French, and Japanese, you would update it to:

    locales=en_US, fr_FR, ja_JP
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Restart Studio for the changes to take effect.
