Changing the locale
By default, the locale is the same as the operating system's locale setting. To change this
setting for the currently open template:
1.
On the menu, select Edit > Locale.
2. Use the drop-down to select how the locale is to be set for the current template:
l
Select System Locale to use the operating system's locale settings. The operating
system's locale is set in the Region settings of the control panel. Note that when
output is generated on a different operating system, that operating system's locale
will be used.
l
Select Explicit Locale to specify a static locale which will remain static for this
template, whichever server the template is used on. Use the Locale drop-down to
select a specific locale. The locales comprise a language code followed by a 2-
letter country code (de-DE, zh-CN, fr-CA, fr-FR, etc), as defined by the
international standards ISO-639-1 and ISO 3166.
l
Select Data Field to use a data field from the record. The locale will be record-
specific in this case. Use the drop-down to select a field within the current Data
Model that contains the locale. This field must be a string and contain the exact
locale to be used, such as "en" or "fr-CA". It cannot be an alias such as "english" or
"french". The locale supports language codes (en, fr, etc), as well as language
codes followed by a 2-letter country code (de-DE, zh-CN, fr-CA, fr-FR, etc). The
language codes are defined by ISO-639-1. The 2-letter country code as defined by
ISO 3166.
3.
Click OK to apply the setting. The setting will be saved with the template.
Personalizing content
Variable-data printing is a form of digital printing in which elements such as text and graphics
may be changed using information from a database or data file. It prints unique documents with
customized messages for each customer. This is exactly what you can do with Connect: using
variable data you can personalize your company's communications.
Before you can start personalizing the content of a template, you must open a data file or
database; see: "Loading data" on page199.
The most common ways to personalize templates are listed below.
