You can start Rule
Designer in
a locale other than the locale of your operating system. If you are
using a bidirectional locale, you can also change the display orientation
of Eclipse.
About this task
By default, Rule
Designer opens
in the locale of your operating system. You can change the locale
by adding a property to the config.ini file.
Note: Rule
Designer opens
in the specified locale if you have selected the locale in IBM® Installation Manager, when
installing Decision Server.
Procedure
To change the locale of Rule
Designer:
- Open <InstallDir>/configuration/config.ini.
<InstallDir> refers to the installation
directory of Operational Decision Manager. However,
if you installed Operational Decision Manager in
an existing Eclipse, the config.ini file is located
in the configuration folder of your Eclipse installation
directory.
- Add the following properties:
osgi.nl=<locale>:
to specify the locale, for example osgi.nl=fr_FR.
(Optional) eclipse.orientation=<orientation>:
to change the display orientation of Eclipse, for example eclipse.orientation=ltr.
ltr defines
a left-to-right orientation, and rtl defines a right-to-left
orientation.
For bidirectional locales such as Arabic and Hebrew,
the rule editors are localized and displayed from right to left. However,
the rest of the Rule
Designer interface
is not localized. If you start Eclipse in a bidirectional locale,
it is displayed from right to left, but Rule
Designer remains
in English. You can use the ltr value to display Rule
Designer from
left to right, and the editors from right to left.
- Save the changes.
Note: You can also use the -nl <locale> argument
in the command line to start Eclipse. For example, -nl fr_FR.
You can also use the -dir <orientation> argument
in the command line to start Eclipse with a specific orientation.
For example, -dir ltr.
