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.

International Date Format

If International Date Format is disabled, dates are shown in the format of the selected language and locale. If you enable this setting, all dates are shown in the ISO-8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) format, regardless of the language and locale.

Customizations

In the Customizations section of the CPSH settings, you can edit the strings that are used in email templates and workflow forms. You can do this for each of the main languages. The format of any dates, times and numbers in custom strings is not affected by the selected locale. For more information, go to Custom strings.

Limitations

CPSH does not support other languages for the interface text and your instance data. There are known issues with sorting and filtering non-Latin characters, affecting the accuracy of search results. Most of the CPSH interface text is translated, including buttons, messages, tooltips, and dialog boxes. There are, however, a few exceptions:

  • Operating model is not translated:
    • Asset types
    • Domain types
    • Statuses
    • Characteristic types
    • Roles
    • Scopes
  • Instance data is not translated:
    • Asset names
    • Characteristics
    • Tags and comments
    • Names of views and filters
    • Text in dashboards and widgets
    • Custom strings
