Working with regional formats

You can configure support for multiple regional formats in PolicyCenter. Regional formats specify how to format items like dates, times, numbers, and monetary amounts for use in the user interface. Regional formats specify the visual format of data, not the database representation of that data.

Using regional formats

In PolicyCenter, you can either use the regional formats defined in the International Components for Unicode (ICU) Library, or you can override those formats by defining formats in localization_localeCode.xml files. You save these files in the Localizations folder. If there is no localization_localeCode.xml file for a region, PolicyCenter uses the ICU Library. You configure these formatting options in Guidewire Studio™.
