Customize Language Support to the User Interface

Use the Product Locales table to add or remove the user interface language support. For example, if you do not require a German user interface, you can remove the language from the list.

If you change the user interface language of the product, data is not affected.

Before you begin

Ensure that you install the appropriate fonts to support the character sets and currency symbols you use. For Japanese and Korean currency symbols to appear correctly, you must install the additional fonts from the Supplementary Language Documentation disk.
