   Setting	Description
   Language and Locale	The default language and locale of Collibra. Note Fully translated files are available starting from the production deployment of a release. The pre-production deployment does not include complete translations. See the Release Calendar for more information.
   Allow User Overrides	If Allow User Overrides is disabled, all users have the same language and locale, and they cannot change it themselves. If you enable this setting, each user can change their language in the profile settings.
