Learning Language Pack Availability 4 PUBLIC Introduction to Learning Language Support 3 Adding a New Locale in SAP SuccessFactors Learning Add a new locale in SAP SuccessFactors Learning if you are part of a global organization and your learners speak multiple languages, use multiple currencies, and so on. Context In SAP SuccessFactors Learning, a locale is more than a language. It is a group that speaks the same language from the same region. The group often speaks a variant of the language, such as French Canadian or Brazilian Portuguese. It also shares common syntax customs (a comma or a period for decimal places, for example). When you add a new locale, you add the language and you also add the other syntax customs and currency for the region. Procedure 1. Go to SAP SuccessFactors Learning Administration and then go to References Geography Locales 2. Click Add New. 3. In Add New Active Locale, locate Active Locale ID, and then click its . 4. In Search Locale click Search. 5. In the search results, locate Records per Page and select 500. By selecting 500, you can see all available languages. There are about fifty. Seeing them as a menu to browse is easier than guessing the name of the locale to search. 6. Look at the list, find the locale that you want to add, and click its Select link. After you select the locale, you return to Add New Active Locale. 7. Add a description and a currency to the locale. For example, if you are adding French Canadian, you might describe it as Quebec Locale and you probably add the Canadian Dollar as the currency. 8. In Use By, select the group that uses the locale. ○ Select User in most cases. Most of our locales are set up for end users. Please refer to the application languages list. ○ Select Admin in rare cases. When you add a locale, and you want administrators to use it, you usually also want to enable it for end users, which is Both. ○ Select Both if the application language is available for administrators and you also want users to have access to the language. 9. Click Add and then close Add New Active Locale. After you close Add New Active Locale, you return to Locales.

A locale is the cultural traditions of one place where you run your business. In general, locales are grouped by language and nation, such as French speakers in Canada, Spanish speakers in Mexico, English speakers in the United States, Spanish speakers in Spain, and English speakers in Canada. The combination of language and nation allows you to not only set a language dialect for a place (such as Quebec in Canada) but also match the places' customs for how they write time, currency, or decimals. 3.2 SAP SuccessFactors Learning Locales Summary In References Geography Locales Summary tab , you can use these fields to control basic behavior of a SAP SuccessFactors Learning locale.

If you change it to the wrong type, you could cause translated strings to disappear from users' and administrators' screens.

Before you se lect it make sure your locale is used by either Admin or Both. Language/Country The language and country combination that uniquely identifies the locale. Currency ID We do not recommend that you change the currency ID because it has been set for the country of the locale. You might need to change the currency, for example, if users in one country purchase learning in a separate currency, but this situation would be rare. 3.3 Activating Learning Currencies Activate currencies in Learning to enable them for Learning Commerce. Context Learning currencies allow you to charge for learning in the users' local currencies and to account for costs in multiple currencies. Add currencies for economies where you operate and where you need financial transactions. Financial transactions that rely on currencies include charge back adjustments, order management, master inventory, cancellation policies, and account codes. Note The currency names and alphabetical codes are based on ISO 4217. For a complete list of the currency names and code elements, go to the ISO official web site. Note Learning currency metadata values are used by Learning and not by any other SAP SuccessFactors modules. Procedure 1. Go to Learning Administration, and then go to Reference Commerce Currencies . 2. Find and edit the currency that you want to add to Learning. 3. Select Active 4. Click Apply Changes.

Context In SAP SuccessFactors Learning, locale preferences determine how the system displays information to the user in the context of Learning: what language, currency, time zone, and data patterns the user prefers. For example, a user might want to see the Learning user interface and help in German, see prices in Euros, and see times in a 24- hour format. In most implementations of SAP SuccessFactors Learning, learners control their own preferences but as an administrator, you can also set them. Note We recommend that you set users preferences globally in SAP SuccessFactors platform because chances are that they want a consistent experience across all of SAP SuccessFactors. In many cases, you go to their preferences to view their settings. Tip You can disable the ability of their users to change their locale settings by disabling the workflow for your default user role. If you disabled users' ability to change their preferences, then you need to set them. Procedure 1. Go to SAP SuccessFactors Learning Administration and then go to People Users . 2. Find and open the user with the profile preferences that you want to change. 3. Go to Preferences. 4. In Active Locale ID, select the
