Configuring a Fallback Chain for a Locale

You can configure a fallback chain for a locale for each of your applications. A fallback phrase is used if a specific key/value phrase in a given language is not available. In this case, a fallback chain is specified to show an available phrase from another language.

When configuring fallback chains, usually the fallback languages are based on similarities between languages. The last language in the chain falls back to en_US. For example, a fallback chain for the French language might be, fr_FR > fr_CH > fr_BE > en_US.

There can be any number of locales in the chain but it must not cause either:
  • a circular dependency, for example, fr_FR > fr_CH > fr_BE > fr_FR, or
  • a co-dependency, for example,
    • fr_FR > fr_CH
    • fr_CH > fr_FR

Procedure

  1. From the Application List view, select the application whose fallback chain you want to edit.
  2. Click Language.
  3. Click to display the menu options.
  4. Select the locale for which you want to set the fallback locale.
  5. Click SET FALLBACK.
  6. Click the fallback locale that you want to use for the selected locale.
  7. Once you have made your changes, click SAVE to save your changes.
  8. Click to go back to the Language view.
    You can now test and publish your application, depending on your requirements. See Managing Applications.
