Selecting language and time zone settings

An Encyclopedia volume administrator sets up available language and time zone selections. The language setting determines the language of the user interface and the format in which dates, times, numbers, and currency display in the Information Console user interface.

For example, using the English (United States) locale, Information Console displays a date and time as May 14, 2010 5:08:30 PM. Using the French (France) locale for the same time, Information Console displays the date and time as 14 mai 10 17:08:30. Information Console users must select language and time zone settings independently and appropriately for any locale.

In some cases, Actuate Information Console and the BIRT iServer that manages the Encyclopedia volume run in different time zones. For example, a user chooses GMT (Greenwich Standard Time) for the time zone, but Actuate iServer runs on IMT (India Standard Time). When scheduling a report, the user specifies the time in Greenwich Standard Time. The BIRT iServer schedules the job for the corresponding time in its time zone.
