Unanet supports internationalization in these ways:
Formatting of dates and times, both for input and display;
Formatting of numbers, both for input and display;
Formatting of day names on the timesheet;
Selection of a standard company currency; and
Entry of expenses in most currencies are converted to the company currency.
Date/time, number, and day formatting defaults to the locale specified by the JVM, which gets the locale from the operating system. This default will generally provide the desired result, but this default may be overridden with the Unanet Locale (unanet.locale) property in the unanet.properties file. Click here for a list of locales.
Note: Setting the Unanet Locale (unanet.locale) property will change the default locale for the entire JVM, which may affect other applications (servlets and JSP's) running on the same servlet engine instance as Unanet. It should not change the values of the Java properties, user.language and user.region, though this behavior may be vendor dependent.
The standard company currency defaults to US dollars (USD). This may be changed with the System Base Currency (unasense.company.currency) property.
You can view and add currencies via the Currency Type maintenance screens.
Note: You should only change the standard company currency in a new Unanet installation since changing the currency does not change the values stored. If you must change the standard company currency on an existing installation, please call customer support.
Expenses may be entered in any currency listed in Currency - List. The currency that the expense was reported in is stored and displayed with the expense form, but all reporting on expenses is in the standard company currency.
Users may choose their own default expense currency in User - Preferences.
