Creating a New Locale

Create a new locale with resource keys and values extracted from localizable strings in the current device application file.

When you create a new locale, keep in mind:
  1. In the Properties view, click Localization in the left pane.
  2. In the Localization page, click New.
  3. In the New Locale wizard:
    Option Description
    Language Select the language.
    Country Select the country.
    Variant Enter the variant, which is the vendor or browser-specific code. For example, enter "WIN" for Windows, "MAC" for Macintosh and "POSIX" for POSIX. If there are two variants, separate them with an underscore, and put the most important one first. For example, a Traditional Spanish collation might construct a locale with parameters for language, country, and variant as: "es", "ES", "Traditional_WIN".
    Overwrite existing file Overwrite an existing localization file.
    Automatically create default locale Automatically create the default locale properties file. For example, if you specify the language as "English" and the country as the "United States" for a device application called test, then both test_en_uS.properties and test.properties files are created.
  4. Click Finish.
    The properties file is created in the same directory as the device application file.
