Locale Tab

The locale tab is used to set the global locale configuration for your Mambo web site.

Language

This will set the default language in Mambo. If your default language is other than English, you must install the language files first using the Installer menu in the Back-end. Note that this does not apply to the content - that is stored in the database. This will only change the phrases controlled in the language file of Mambo. This includes all system messages. Languages are installed in the Language Manager.

Time Offset

All time in Mambo is taken from the servers internal clock. This option sets the time offset in hours between your server location and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Select the offset time from the dropdown menu.

Country Locale

This is the date phrases, such as months and days. They are not in the language file of Mambo, but are installed on the server. You will need to have the correct locale installed on the server, and know its ISO to get the locale you want. The ISO is the value you should enter here. An example is, en-GB, for English, Great Britain.
