MapGuideRfc18

 == Overview ==
-
+The MapGuide server currently uses the "C" locale when it starts which is not very useful for end users that are running MapGuide in a non-English environment as this is a very restrictive locale.
 
 == Motivation ==
 
+The reason for adding better localization support is for better support of end-users that are not using English.
 
 == Proposed Solution ==
 
+Add a new server configuration property "Locale" that can be set to whatever locale the end-users wants.
+If this new property is blank or does not exist in the serverconfig.ini file then the server will default to the system locale.
+
+The following is the format used for the Locale property:
+
+lang[_country_region[.code_page]] 
+
+Examples:
+
+English
+English_United States
+English_United States.1252
+French_France.1252
 
 == Implications ==
 
+The current server configuration property "DefaultLocale" will be renamed to reflect what the property really does. The proposed new name is "DefaultMessageLocale" because the property is only for the locale of messages returned to clients that have not specified their locale themselves. The format for this property will remain the same, ie: ISO639-1 name.
 
 == Test Plan ==
 
+Run unit tests on English and non-English locales.
 
 == Funding/Resources ==
