You can configure the locale setting for the Administrator Console at the System-level. This also controls the locale of the Command Line Console, which is accessed through the konfig user account.
Locale settings determine the formats used for date and time information displayed in the Administrator Console. All text in the interface is displayed in English regardless of locale settings. Locale settings also determine the date and time formats used in email sent from the Service Desk.

The locale you selected is used for the Administrator Console and the Command Line Console.
The appliance supports several locales. The Administrator Console, System Administration Console, and online help can be displayed in English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish.
In addition to these languages, you can translate the User Console into other non-supported locales, such as Afrikaans (South Africa), as needed. When you translate the User Console to a non-supported language, its help contents appear in English, while other elements of the appliance, such as the Administrator Console, System Administration Console, and the associated online help, are displayed in the selected language.
By default, the browser locale determines the language in which the User Console is displayed. When the User Console is translated to another languages and properly configured (as described below), any users whose browsers use that locale display the User Console in the translated language.
