MicroStrategy ONE
How to Specify Locale and Internationalization Settings
You can determine the language in which MicroStrategy Web pages are displayed to users. You can also specify several other locale and internationalization settings, including the following:
-
The language in which numbers and dates are displayed in MicroStrategy Web.
-
The language of the metadata and project data.
-
The unit of measurement to use for the alignment grid, rulers, and the measurement and position of objects in MicroStrategy Web.
-
The time zone in which you or your users work.
If you add or remove a language from a project, the list of metadata and data locales may not be updated until you restart the Web server. To avoid having to restart the Web server, you can disable the MicroStrategy Web cookies.
