Base configuration language support

In the base configuration, Guidewire has a single default display language, English. If your installation has more than one language, you can select among the multiple languages by using the PolicyCenter Options > Language menu. PolicyCenter uses the LanguageType typelist to defines the set of language choices that the Language menu shows.

File localization.xml

In 8.0, Guidewire splits file localization.xml into multiple files, each of which contains formatting and parsing rules for a single langue only. Each base configuration, each localization file resides in the following location in Studio:

configuration > Localizations > localeCode

Theterm localeCode is a standard ISO locale code, such as en_US or ja_JP.

In a language module, each localization.xml file is in a config/locale.localeCode folder.

In the PolicyCenter 8.0 release, the existence of a localization.xml file in each region is optional. If you do not supply the relevant language configuration data in a localization.xml file, PolicyCenter uses the ICU library defaults for that language. See “The International Components for Unicode (ICU) Library” on page 21 in the Globalization Guide for details.
