Locales list

All the locales of the account are managed in the left column. A locale defines the language and the date/time formats that are seen by Customers. Each locale is a collection of settings that define the following aspects of the customer experience:

• Language and wording of the Customer interface text.
• Dynamic values, including time zone names, days of the week, month names, and countries.
• Date format
• Time format
• Week start day

Locales are centrally managed in the Localization editor. To view the properties of a locale, click on it in the locales list. 

Duplicate locale

You can duplicate any locale. To duplicate a locale, select it from the list on the left hand side of the screen and then click the Duplicate icon (Figure 2).

Preview a locale on a Booking page or Master page

Automatic translation

Each System locale comes with its own set of language- and culture-appropriate Dynamic values. This includes time zones, countries, states, locations, country codes, months, and days of the week. These values will be automatically translated when viewed by the Customer. 

Date and time format

You can set the date/time format and week start day. Default settings are pre-selected for each language, but you can update them further to match your target audience preferences.
