New and changed in globalization in 10.0.0

New process for enabling languages

All language translations that Guidewire supports are provided directly in Guidewire Studio localization files at the time PolicyCenter becomes generally available. To enable a language, such as a display language, you use Studio to indicate that a language is to be used in the product, and then restart the application server.

Language packs no longer used to install languages

PolicyCenter 10.0 ships with all files needed for the languages supported by Guidewire. You no longer need to install a language pack to enable languages in addition in U.S. English.

Note: To install locale changes, you continue to install locale packs.

Changes in effects of setting the DefaultApplicationLanguage

The primary display language defined in DefaultApplicationLanguage does not cause that language to become a fallback for any other language. Setting the primary display language does set the default preferred language for new users. A user always has a preferred language, and the default preferred language is the primary display language defined in DefaultApplicationLanguage.

A user can set their preferred language to any language that you have enabled for PolicyCenter.

PolicyCenter uses language fallback

PolicyCenter uses strict language fallback to resolve missing display and typecode keys for the user's preferred language. In the base configuration, U.S English is defined as the primary display language and is the base language for language fallback.
