2625983 - Locale cannot be used

Symptom

When trying to set a desired locale (language), the system returns the following error: "You cannot use this locale ID because it does not yet have all the required default date and number formats assigned to it".

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Learning

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Learning user side > "Activities" menu > Options and Settings >
  2. Select the value in the "Active Locale ID" field > Apply Changes > Error.

Or

  1. Learning Administration > People > Users > Search and access the desired account >
  2. "Preferences" tab > Select the value in the "Active Locale ID" field > Apply Changes > Error.

Resolution

To correct it, please, follow these steps:

  1. Learning Administration > References > Manage Labels > Locales > Search and access the desired locale >
  2. Review the different pattern tabs >
  3. For each of them, click "add one or more from list" > Choose one option and add it > Apply Changes >
  4. At the end, each pattern should have one value selected.

Please note that if the locale is being changed in BizX and it doesn't reflect in Learning, this might be the cause. To confirm it, try to set the same locale directly in Learning.
