Locales

Locales defines the languages to enable and defines the default language to use on your labels, messages, headers, and body text. Enabling a language allows for configuration of the text elements in the applicable language, which can then be displayed to customers who select that language in their account preferences. Setting the default language determines which language is displayed to customers who have not identified their preferred language.

To configure locales

1. From the Opower Configuration Tool select Settings, and then select Locales. The Locales configuration options are displayed.
2. Enable or disable a locale by selecting or clearing the checkbox for the applicable locale, and then click Save. Labels options are created or removed based on your selections. For example, if you enable es-US a new Labels (es-US) option is displayed within the Settings options. While not directly viewable from this page, message properties for each enabled locale are also made available for each widget.
3. Any enabled locale can be defined as the default. From the list of enabled locales, select the Default radio button.
4. Click Save to save all changes to locales.

Be aware that enabling new locales can require additional configuration of the messages for each locale. As mentioned in the steps above, enabling a new locale also creates new locale options within settings, as well as new locale options for each widget.
