How to switch localization to English on machines with different regional settings.

Since this still seems to be puzzling to many people, here what I do today:

I want an English UI, but without intervention Jazz provides a mix of German and English on my machine with German regional settings.

To prevent that, I do the following:

I add -Duser.language=en as parameter to
 - The application server environment e.g. adding set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Duser.language=en to the server.startup.bat
- The eclipse.ini, the jbe.ini, the scm.ini
- The Web UI detects the browser language and tries to provide localized content, so I switched my browser to English settings using the Quick Locale Switcher (FireFox)

It is also wise to make sure to create projects using the English process templates.

In principle this is also true for all the other CLM applications.

Hi Ralph,
Good article! I just wanted to say that if you are using WAS, you must perform following additional steps:

1. In the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > Server1.
2. Under Server Infrastructure, click Java and Process Management > Process definition.
3. Under Additional Properties, click Java Virtual Machine.
4. In the Generic JVM arguments field, add following parameter:
   -Duser.language=en
