Adding a Culture to uStore

You can add a culture to uStore from the list of predefined cultures. The available cultures are defined in the Culture List table.

If you do not find the desired culture in the list, or if you wish to use several dialects of a language, and thus address different segments of the population (for example, youngsters vs. elders), you can create a new culture or a new instance of a language.

For example, you may want to create two stores for different dialects of the en-US language. In this case, you should add two instances of the en-US languages and distinguish each with a different name. To create a new language or a new instance of a language, see Setting Up the Culture List Table. Then, you can localize each store with a different dialect using uStore Localization Tool, as described in Localizing System Tables.

To add a culture:

1.       In the Presets view, click Localization.
The Localization - Culture List page opens.

2.       Click the New button.
The Culture Sections page is displayed.

3.       Select the culture you want to add from the list and click Save.
The Culture Sections page is displayed where you can now localize uStore tables with the newly added language, as described in Localizing System Tables.

To edit properties of an existing culture:

1.       In the Presets view, click Localization.
The Localization - Culture List page opens.

2.       Click the Edit icon next to the culture you want to edit.
The Culture Edit page is displayed.
