Configuring Regional Settings

You change the default presentation of date, units of measure, language, time, and time zone in WorkStation or Enterprise Server by changing your operating system regional settings.

By default, WorkStation presents language, date, time, currency, unit, and decimals according to the regional settings of the user’s operating system.

The date, time, or value format can differ between clients that have the same language and cultural convention.

For example, a user customizes the French date setting to yyyy-mm-dd in the operating system. The next time WorkStation starts on this client, all dates are displayed as yyyy-mm-dd instead of the French standard dd/mm/yyyy. Other clients with French original settings still display dates with the French standard dd/mm/yyyy.

Language and Translation Packages

Building Operation supports several different languages. To be able to install a new language you need a language pack.

For more information, see Language Packages .

Value Presentation

Building Operation handles values and numbers with the highest ​precision. By default, the unit of a value is converted according to the regional settings of the user’s operating system.

For more information, see Value Presentation .

Time and Time Zone

​A time zone is a region on the earth that has a uniform standard time, usually referred to as the local time. Local time is the UTC time plus the current time zone offset for the considered location. Some time zones also have an offset called DST added during the summer period. The DST offset is typically +1 hour.

For more information, see Time and Time Zone .

To change regional settings

  1. Close all Building Operation-related applications.

  2. For more information on how to change the regional settings, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual for the operating system.

Next time WorkStation starts, the new regional settings are used.
