Ability to set first day of week by region

Guidewire has added an optional firstDayOfWeek attribute to the <GWLocale> element in localization.xml. You use this attribute to set the day on which a week begins for a particular region. If you do not provide a value for this attribute, then PolicyCenter uses the default ICU (International Components for Unicode) value for the region.

The base configuration uses the following ICU first days of the week for the listed regions:

Sunday

  • en_AU
  • en_CA
  • en_US
  • fr_CA
  • ja_JP

Monday

  • de_DE
  • en_GB
  • fr_FR
