System and personal localization settings

NOTE: The language settings in System Language and Personal Preferences determine the language the web applications are displayed in.

By default, the localization settings in Personal Preferences are the same as the ones in System Language. Changes to the settings in System Language are automatically copied to the Personal Preferences settings as long as the Personal Preferences settings have never been customized. After you customized the Personal Preferences localization settings once, they will no longer change when the System Language settings are changed.

NOTE: Your personal localization settings overrule the system localization settings for your user account.

Example 1: Language settings in Personal Preferences follow System Language if they have never been customized.
