Setting Up Locales — Language and Currency

You can configure SimVen to incorporate your preferred language and currency settings, so that it shows throughout the application as well as on the SimVen reports. Locale settings affect many views, chief among them, the System Maintenance view and the Deposits Entry view. SimVen reports also reflect your currency symbol, currency naming conventions, and amount separator characters such as a comma (for thousands), and a decimal point (dot) based on your country’s currency standard.

Creating a New Locale

To add a new Locale:

1. On the toolbar, click Security, click Security Setup and Edit, and then click the Group Profiles tab. Ensure that you have the Application Locale Settings privilege fully enabled for any group profile that requires the ability to edit Locales.
2. Log on to SimVen Management, click Setup, click Master Files, and then click Locale Settings.
3. Enter or select information in the following fields. You can enter a number (greater than 4, leaving the pre-configured Locale IDs as they are), or you can reuse a pre-configured Locale ID number by selecting it, and then clicking the Clear button. Re-enter the number that was cleared, and then enter your own language and currency settings.

Using Pre-Configured Application Locale Settings

There are four pre-configured Locales available. If you select one of the pre-configured Locale IDs, the balance of the fields are auto populated with text that reflects that country’s language and typical currency symbol and naming conventions. You can edit most of these fields.

1. On the toolbar, click Setup, click Master Files, and then select Locale Settings.
2. Click the ellipsis (...) in the ID field.
3. Select the pre-configured Locale ID. The four pre-configured Locale IDs are:

   • English Default USA
