8.3 Planning the Default Locale and Logging Time Zone

The OpenText Vibe installation program runs in English only. When you install the Vibe software, you can choose to have the primary language of the Vibe site be any of the languages listed on the planning worksheet.

Some languages have an additional distinction by locale (the country where the language is spoken).

The language you select during installation establishes the language of the global text that displays in locations where all Vibe users see it, such as in the Workspace tree when you click the Workspace tree icon :

The language you select also establishes the default interface language and locale for creating new workspaces.

Additional language customization can be done after installation, as described in Managing a Multiple-Language Vibe Site in VibeSite Setup in the OpenText Vibe 4.0.8 Administration Guide.

You also need to specify the time zone to be used for times recorded in Vibe log files.
