Configuration Manager - Commerce - Language

Use the Languages panel of the Configuration Manager to configure your WebSphere Commerce instance to support all required languages. Choose your default language from the Default Language list. The wcs.bootstrap_multi_xx_XX.xml file that matches your default language must also be in the Selected Languages window. To add support for additional languages to your database, complete the following steps:

  1. Select the appropriate language .xml file from the Available Languages window. The .xml file will be in the form of wcs.bootstrap_multi_xx_XX.xml, where xx_XX is the locale code for the language you want to select. Valid locale codes for languages supported are listed in Valid locale codes.
  2. Click the arrow that points to the Selected Languages window. The language you have chosen should now be listed in the Selected Languages window.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each language for which support is needed.

Notes:

Attention

Selecting a default language other than the language used during the installation of WebSphere Commerce will cause the instance to be populated with data that is invalid for the chosen language. For instructions on creating a WebSphere Commerce instance with a default language other than the WebSphere Commerce installation language, refer to WebSphere Commerce Installation Guide

If you want to create an instance with a default language other than the language used during the installation of WebSphere Commerce, exit Configuration Manager and follow the instructions in WebSphere Commerce Installation Guide.
