Default Localization Settings

There are system wide defaults for the following localization settings that can be set to the configuration table:

  • DefaultUiLanguage
  • DefaultDateFormat
  • DefaultFirstDayOfWeek
  • DefaultUse12HourClock

New user accounts use the default values until user changes to her/his own settings.

Translation Support Details

Most texts in the UI are translated, but there are the following exceptions:

  • Process mining data imported to QPR ProcessAnalyzer (e.g. case and event attribute names, event type names, case and event attribute values)
  • Some tooltips that contain long instructions
  • Some special error messages (originating from the server)

Localization settings are stored to the browser's local storage, and thus the browser remembers the last used language and in the next time shows the login page in that language.
