Internationalization is the process of creating software that can be translated easily. Changes to the code are not specific to any particular market. Allocation has been internationalized to support multiple languages.
This section describes configuration settings and features of the software that ensure that the base application can handle multiple languages.

When finished making your selections, click the Save button.
Allocation allows the user to see dates and times in a format appropriate for their own locale, regardless what the data is stored in. Set the language Allocation displays in, set the user language. Choose Preferences from the drop-down menu under the user name, then choose Regional in the taskbar. There are multiple settings you can choose:

Date Format: Choose an option from this menu to select a date format that is different from the default for the selected Territory.
Time Format: Choose an option from this menu to select a time format that is different from the default for the selected Territory.

Most user interface and message translations are stored in xlf files. When you select a different language from the Preferences screen, Allocation will choose the correct xlf file for that language.
Some translations for some drop-down menus are stored on four database tables. The tables are RTC_LOOKUP_VALUES_TL, RTC_LOOKUP_TYPES_TL, RAF_FACET_ATTRIBUTE_CFG_TL, and RAF_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_TL. These tables are multilingual; all languages of these strings (English as well as all translations) are stored in the same place.
