Configuring Locales 15
You can use ThinApp parameters to verify locale information.
This chapter includes the following topics:

“AnsiCodePage Parameter,” on page 55

“LocaleIdentifier Parameter,” on page 55

“LocaleName Parameter,” on page 56
AnsiCodePage Parameter
The AnsiCodePage parameter displays a numerical value that represents the language of the operating system
on which you capture the application. ThinApp uses the value to manage multibyte strings.
This parameter does not perform language translation.
Example: Verifying AnsiCodePage parameter
When the operating systems of the deployed and captured computers have different languages, you can check
the AnsiCodePage parameter to know the operating system language of the computer on which you capture
the application.
[BuildOptions]
AnsiCodePage=1252
LocaleIdentifier Parameter
The LocaleIdentifier parameter displays a numeric ID for the locale that affects layout and formatting. The
value locates the correct language resources from the application.
ThinApp runs packages according to the regional and language settings of the capture system rather than the
settings of the system that runs packages. If you capture an application that requires a locale format, such as
a date format, on a system that does not have the required format, you can comment out this parameter to
ensure that the application can run on a system that has the supported format.
Example: Setting a LocaleIdentifier Parameter
When the regional language of the operating system is U.S. English, the capture process sets the
LocaleIdentifier parameter to 1033.
[BuildOptions]
LocaleIdentifier=1033
