42 Multi-Language Support
With the introduction of Multi-Locale Support, the user interfaces can be viewed in various languages.
In addition to the base language (American English or en_US), the following languages are currently supported for ALM. You can install the required Language Pack.

Depending on the rule type, the Name/Description specified during create/edit is either attached to the login-locale or is stored independently of the login-locale. The selection of the login-locale governs which assumptions/rules are visible, and which are not visible. The following table illustrates the visibility of assumptions and rules across languages in the 8.0.0.0.0 release. This applies to all Summary screens, embedded selections in subsequent screens, and so on.
Note:
All Dimension Management Objects, Filters, and Expressions are visible in all languages (and therefore available for embedding), regardless of the language they were created.

* A future release will provide visibility for many of these application object types regardless of logged-in locale.
** These object-types are visible across all languages because the Name and Descriptions are not stored in translation-compatible structures, which is different from the storage format for AAI objects like Dimension Management, Filters, and Expressions.
