The Studio enables you to pass the locale for a request into its Tester. Specifying locale instructs Corticon how to parse locale sensitive data in a testsheet input such as dates and numeric formats. The setting applies to tests run in Studio and run against Server. The chosen locale property is stored with the Testsheet, and any exported XML or JSON files from the Testsheet. If the Locale is not set, then a Locale value is not sent in the request. The default value is the Server default.

1. Open the Ruletest in its editor, and then choose a Testsheet on which you want to set the locale.
