Overview of Knowledge Locales

Locales help you to differentiate knowledge content by language and country or region. This differentiation helps you make Knowledge available to users who speak varied languages and are located in different countries or regions.

Each locale represents a base language and a specific national or regional variation of it. Important differences among locales can include regulations, procedures, addresses, currencies, date formats, and country- or region-specific terms.

Knowledge is available for use in all locales supported by the application. You can use Knowledge with multiple locales by activating the locales that you want to use. Authors, translators, agents, end-users, and knowledge managers can use or manage knowledge in any of the locales that they have access to. Knowledge is configured to have a default locale. You can change the default locale to one that best meets your organization's needs.
