Locales
Locales describe a language as spoken in a particular country. It also defines country and language dependent formating, such as what day a week begins on and how numbers are formatted.
A number of locales are installed on your server and come preconfigured in Jadu, but on occasion you may need to define or edit a new locale.
Navigating to the Locales area
- Click the Settings icon in the left navigation bar. The Settings menu will open.
- Click the Locales link in the fourth group of links. The list of "Locales" will now be shown.
