Lyle, It may be that the Alias is View specific, but the Value is server specific?

For some reason, the selection fields on the English views have the Selection Values in English, but the Alias in Spanish. Not sure how that happened. I'll get those fixed and see where that leaves us. Thanks, Lyle From: Lyle Taylor Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 1:28 PM To: 'arslist@ARSLIST.ORG' Subject: RE: Locale of data shown in Table field Thanks, David. Use Locale us currently set to False for this table. However, if I'm understanding the documentation correctly, I'm not sure that field property is related to the issue I'm seeing. It looks like it effectively adds another filter to the table's qualification such that only records in the user's locale are shown, not that it will affect what locale is used to display information. For example, if I have requests in Spanish and English (and the Locale field on the record is set appropriately for each request), checking Use Locale would effectively cause only the English tickets to be displayed if my locale is set to English. Am I understanding that correctly? In this case, however, all requests are being displayed, it's just not using the correct locale for the selection value labels.

When the box for this option is checked, the system returns only entries for the user's locale when the table is refreshed. This option applies only to table fields and tree fields on a form; it does not apply to results lists.

We have a situation where a form has a table in it, and some of the information in the table is displayed in Spanish, and some in English. The form is really just a custom view added to the HDP:Help Desk form, and we have the Spanish and English locales installed for Incident Management. On this view, we have duplicated the Relationships tab with the associations table. The locale for this view is set to NULL, which, as I understand it, is how all the English views should be, and the other English views on this form are set that way. So, when you view a record, some of the values are in English, and others in Spanish. For example, the Relationship Type and Status are in English, but the Record Type is in Spanish. This also happens with other fields on other OOB forms. For example, if I want to relate an Incident to another one, when I select the relationship type in the Incident Relationship Search dialog, even though the rest of the dialog is in English (I'm seeing the English view of the form), the relationship types displayed in the Relationship Type drop down list are in Spanish. My initial thought is that this might have something to do with either the database sort order or sort orders defined on a form somewhere, but I'm not sure where to look. Any ideas?
