Elements and reasons to support internationalization¶
intra-mart Accel Platform supports internationalization for language, time-zone and date and time format.
- Multiple languages
If the screen is displayed in new language, to begin with, it becomes very difficult to understand its contents, which may lead to deterioration of operating efficiency and increased mistakes. Hence, the screen should be displayed in the routine language.
- Time-zone
The user operates according to the local time. Therefore, the date and time data referred by the user should be 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, it may lead to unexpected errors.For example, a date displayed as “12/09/10” will have different meanings in different regions.
