| Description |

Overview: Setting locale is currently not doing a lot beside of how date format is handled and which translation is being used. However, looking forward you would expect that locale settings would have deeper impact on how the systems behaves. Given the fact that library staff might not have the given locale as their first language there is a need for separating locale and user language. From my meeting with Chalmers, it was also surfaced that it might simplify cooperation with the FOLIO community if we could keep English at the primary language of the UI while at the same time being able to explore the different localization aspects of FOLIO. |

Thanks Theodor Tolstoy (One-Group.se). This is actually different than what I expected you to file. I thought Chalmers was asking that you be able to set the date date format separately from your display language which is actually a request we've heard from others (but seems like a relatively low priority change to me). But now that I read this story, I see you are actually asking for the ability for users to select a display language that differs from the default for the institution. This is not in the plans for v1. For v1, FOLIO localization settings are at the tenant level. Each tenant can select one locale, which drives language and date/time format (and probably number format down the road) for anyone using FOLIO for that tenant. We recognize this will be an issue for many institutions and have plans to support user-level localization post-v1.
I don't follow this logic. There is not a single locale per country. Countries with multiple official languages have multiple locales. For example, Switzerland has: de_CH (german), fr_CH (french) and it_CH (italian) |

I think you are right with regards to locale. I was more thinking along the lines of other settings that depend on nation more than locale and language. |

Hi Theodor Tolstoy (One-Group.se). I am trying to decide what to do with this story. The "user story" portion of the description makes this sound like a duplicate of

its the latter Cate Boerema. I might be wrong, but i keep thinking that going forward there will be more and more ibrary-specific things (like filing rules) tied to the Locale setting which would lead to the user interface becoming too different between locales. |

Okidoke, I get it and, I hope it's okay, but I removed the User Story in the description because I think it confused things. I'll get this estimated. Cheers. |

Theodor Tolstoy (One-Group.se), I discussed this briefly with Jakub Skoczen today and he suggested we might let the selected locale drive some default format display settings that you could then override. To start out with, this would all be at the tenant level, but we do have other features in the backlog to make this settable at the user level as well. What do you think about this approach? Here's a rough mockup. |
