The AdminCentral locale primarily defines the language of User interface labels that the system user wants to work with in the AdminCentral, for example the language of labels in the Action bar (English on the left, Korean on the right):

AdminCentral's time zone setting, on the other hand, has an effect on the content of, for instance, the date field before any date is entered in it. The field shows a pseudo-placeholder text that changes according to the actual (user's) time zone setting, compare:

Surely, two different English-speaking editors, one working in London and the other one working in Berlin, will want to use their local times in many instances of such a field. In addition, the form of the timezone placeholder depends not only the time zone setting, but also on the language setting described just above. If the preferred working language of one of the editors is set to German, the hint will show MEZ (abbrev. of Mitteleuropäische Zeit) instead of CET (abbrev. of Central European Time). 

Configuring the AdminCentral locale

When logged-in in the AdminCentral, users may set their language locale parameter via the Language and Time zone fields  field in the Edit user profile dialog. The language part of the locale setting will be reflected in the names of action menus, actions, buttons and labels throughout the AdminCentral provided the locale is one of the available system languages (see further below) or it will fallback to English. 

To set a localeit, open the pull down menu in the top right corner of the browser window and click the first row of the menu, titled Edit user profile if the current locale setting is English. On the Preferences tab:

  • Choose a language in the Language field:

    With superuser role you may set language locales for other users, see Setting an editor's language preference.Choose a timezone in the Time zone field. 

The new locale will be applied the next time you log in into the AdminCentral.
