Locale Lookup 

The locale lookup rule implemented by the PRT follows the order described below:

...

       1.      Component locale

The locale of the component is specified by the following two properties and enables you to force a component to use one specific local. This could be used for the administration components

                            a.      ForcedRequestLanguage

                            b.      ForcedRequestCountry

       2.      Portal mandatory locale

This is defined in the prtDefault.properties and forces a portal installation to use one and only one local. Administrators setting up a portal environment use this locale

                            a.      request.mandatorylanguage

                            b.      request.mandatorycountry

       3.      User locale

This is the local attached to the profile of the user who logged in to the system

       4.      Request locale

The request locale is defined by the browser. This is used, for example, for anonymous user or users who do not have locales defined in their profiles

       5.      Portal default locale

This locale is defined in the prtDefault.properties by the following two properties

                            a.      request.defaultlanguage

                            b.      request.defaultcountry

       6.      System default locale

The Java default locale defined by the system (either the operating system, or the JVM).
