Elements and Reasons to Support Internationalization¶
intra-mart Accel Platform supports the internationalization for language, time zone and date and time format.
- Multiple Languages
If the screen is displayed in unfamiliar language, to begin with, it becomes very difficult to understand its contents, which may lead to poor operating efficiency and increased mistakes. Hence, the screen should be displayed in a familiar language.
- Time zone
The user considers the time according to his/her region and acts accordingly. Therefore, the date and time data referred by the user should be in a format as per the time-zone of the user.
- Date and Time Format
Date and time format differs as per the cultural zone or region; hence the format should be as per the user’s region.If the provided format is not suitable for a region, unexpected misunderstanding may occur.For example, a date displayed as “12/09/10” will have different meanings in different regions.
