Language
There are several different setting that affect which language is used.
1. In the Control Center during installation of BMP, the default language for any new workspaces added to the system can be set.
2. Default locale in Locale options in the Settings menu (Settings - Global settings) controls which language is used as the default language for the system, both on the web and in Configuration Studio. If nothing is set here, the language set in Control Center is used.
3. Number formatting can be set separately from the language setting, e.g. in order to use English number formatting with Spanish language. See Locale options for more information.
4. The default language may, however, be overridden for individual users by changing the language in Settings on the web, or in Users and Groups in Configuration Studio. If no language is specifically set for a user, the language set in Locale options will be used.
This means if nothing is specifically set on the user, or if the user language is cleared, the Default Locale in Settings in Configuration Studio is used; if nothing is set there, Default Language set in Control Center is used, and if nothing is set there, English is used.
5. The Default names for objects that can be found in Default Values, e.g. Scorecard, Perspective, Strategic objective, periods, node types, etc. will be localized for each user, i.e. each user will see them in that user's chosen language. E.g. an English language user will see "Perspective" while a Spanish language user will see "Perspectiva" for the same object, as long as the default name is used.
Object names that have been changed from the default name will be the same for all users in all languages. E.g. if an organization is created and given the name "Main
Organization", the name will also be "Main Organization" for users who don't English.
If a 'right-to-left' language is chosen, the screen layout will automatically be right-to-left, both on the web and in Configuration Studio.
