For a specific schema, the JADE development environment can maintain forms and translatable strings in that schema for multiple locales.
If a schema supports several locales (by using the Locales command from the Schema menu), you can use the Locale options to specify the form and string translations that you want to work with in the development environment. This sheet is not displayed on the administrative JADE Installation Preferences dialog.
To change your default base locale
In the Preferences dialog, click the Locale sheet.
In the Base Locale list box, select the locale that you want to use as your default for all schemas. The selected locale is then displayed in the list box.
Click the OK button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selection.
When you have set your base locale, any forms that you access in the Painter are loaded from this locale. Additionally, any translatable strings that you access in the String Browser are obtained from your base locale.
