This page allows you to specify your time zone and the locale for your portal. The locale determines:
The language in which your portal interface displays (portlet names and content display in the language you choose only if those portlets support your chosen language).
The format for portal entries (including search requests). For example, if you choose British English, the portal displays and expects dates in the DD/MM/YYYY format, whereas in American English, the portal displays and expects dates in the MM/DD/YYYY format.
Note: Only the portal interface and localized objects display in the language you choose.
To specify your locale settings:
In the Your Time Zone drop-down list, choose your time zone.
In the Your Locale drop-down list, choose the language in which you want your portal to display content.
When you are done specifying your settings, click OK to apply the changes or Cancel to revert your changes.
Note: The language of your personal greeting does not change if you change your locale.
To see a list of access keys that allow you to navigate the portal with your keyboard, refer to Access Keys.
