Your localization settings specify the language you see when you log in to P6 and the country for server string constants. The Java application uses this setting to ensure all instances of P6 EPPM will use the same localization settings.
Notes:
- The localization used by your operating system will have priority for the language used. The localization setting in P6 ensures P6 EPPM uses your preferred language if the JVM fails to recognize your operating system's localization settings.
- If you change the localization of P6 on the login page, you will only change the language for your P6 user interface. It does not translate your data or change the convention followed by your region.
- Changes to these settings require you to restart the P6 server.
To set your language and country:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Localization.
- In the System Language drop-down list, select your language. The default value is English (en).
- In the System Country drop-down list, select your country. The default value is US.
