National Language Support

The following is an upgrade consideration and product change for National Language Support:

• As of WebFOCUS Release 8.2 Version 02, the two-character Language Code used by the WebFOCUS Client was expanded to include the full five-character ISO Country Code that accommodates multiple locales for a particular language. For more information about ISO Country Codes, see https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_country_codes.asp.

  When the <SET>IBIWF_language(PASS) command is added to the Custom Settings page on the Administration Console Configuration tab, the WebFOCUS Client sends the language code from the current user session along with requests to the Reporting Server.

  Applications that evaluate the &IBIWF_language amper variable require remediation to enable them to evaluate the combined ISO Language Code and Country Code. For example, en-GB for English, United Kingdom.

  Report requests that display the value assigned to the &IBIWF_language amper variable, such as those that include it in the heading of a report, are expected to display the full five-character Language Code, such as en-GB.
