Using the Globalization Element

The _Settings definition in a Logi application provides application-wide configuration of various settings, such as connections, team development, etc. The Globalization element, which provides valuable assistance when developing a multi-cultural application, is also available for use the _Settings definition. The following table describes its attributes:

For example if your fiscal year begins on March 5, enter 03/05. The default value is 01/01. This value affects the Fiscal Year and Fiscal Quarter formats. See Format Data.

Also changes how the first day of the week is determined for the @Date tokens that return first and last days of the week, such as @Date.ThisWeekStart~ and @Date.ThisWeekEnd~. Valid values are: 0 = Sunday (default), 1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday, 3 = Wednesday, 4 = Thursday, 5 = Friday, 6 = Saturday This value affects the Fiscal Week format. See Format Data.
Input Reformat Culture	This attribute is deprecated - do not use it. A culture value that can be used to reformat input dates and values. You can set this to a different culture so that values from Input elements are returned in that culture. This can be useful when the database expects date and numeric values that are not in the invariant format. In most cases it is best to set up the database or database client account to use an "English" culture. This attribute is not used for dates when Input Date Reformat is used. The culture is specified as a string, such asen-us. To see a list of cultures, open IE, select Tools, Internet Options, Languages, then Add. The default culture is the "invariant" culture, which is basically US-English.
Java Font Folder	Active only for Java applications. Identifies the folder where TrueType fonts are located for PDF exports. The folder is required for PDF exports with fonts that contain characters that are not in the ISO-8859_1 character set. In Windows this is usually something like C:\Windows\Fonts. In Linux, this would be something like/usr/local/share/fonts/ttfonts.
Metric Prefix String	Specifies user-defined values to be used when the Metric Prefix ("mp") is selected in Format attributes. The range of numbers formatted by metric prefixes isfrom 1000^6 to 1000^-6, so one of 12 characters is applied to each power of 10. The default string of characters is: representing atto, femto, pico, nano, micro, milli, kilo, mega, giga, tera, peta, and exa. You can replace this string with a comma-separated string of your own 12 characters. More information about Metric Prefixes is available here.
User Culture	Normally, the user's culture is obtained from the browser's settings. If a value is supplied here, the User Culture attribute overrides the browser's culture setting with another value. User Culture can be set with a token value, such as @Session or @Request. The culture is specified as a string, such as en-us. A list of available cultures can be viewed in the browser, where Language is specified.
