Language localization

All the configuration for language localization is completed in the desktop application. There are three types of language localization:

  • Mobility labels/messages
  • Shared labels/messages with the desktop application
  • Mobility field labels

Mobility supports the same set of languages as Workforce Management does. In a scenario where a translation is not provided for the locale being used, the mobility application will display the field name instead. A new entry can be created in this scenario to have a proper label displayed instead of the field name.

To determine the language used on the login page, the browser locale is checked. If the browser locale is available in WFM, the login page is presented in that locale.

Note: The browser locale is determined by looking at the Accept-Language header. This header can vary between browsers, even for the same locale. An exact match of the language and country code is first checked. If an exact match does not exist, then a search for only the language code is made. If there is no match on the language code, the default locale specified in the DEFAULT_LOCALE_ID registry parameter is used.

After the user logs in, the localization is based on the locale assigned to the user. The user locale does not depend on the browser.
