The authentication step in the wizard also includes six additional settings, as shown in
Figure 5-13 . A few of the settings have to do with the ability to translate the application
to other languages. Multilingual applications are beyond the scope of this topic, but for
completeness the general usage descriptions of these options are included.
Figure 5-13. The Attributes page of the Create Application Wizard
These settings are as follows:
Language : This is the language the application uses by default. It's also
used as the basis for any internationalization and translation in the case of
multilingual applications.
User Language Preference Derived From : For multilingual applications,
this setting determines how the application derives the translation that is ne-
cessary.
Date Format : This option sets the default of how date elements are format-
ted within the application. Different regions of the world have assumptions
about how dates are formatted, especially when they're strictly numeric val-
ues. A common format that is used to try to alleviate this issue is the DD-
MON-YYYY format. This style of format makes it clear which portion rep-
resents the day, month, and year (for example, 01-JAN-2010).
Date Time Format : This option sets the default formats of dates that include
a time dimension.
Timestamp Format : This option specifies the format used for timestamps
throughout the application.
