Locales

XFDL forms are designed to be locale and language aware. This means that each form is designed for a specific language and set of locales. Locale support is identified through the xml:lang attribute. This attribute is primarily added to the XFDL tag in the form, and identifies which locale the form was designed for.

For example, the following form was designed for the English U.S. locale:

   <XFDL xmlns="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/XFDL/8.0" xml:lang="en-US">

Note: If the xml:lang attribute is not included on the <XFDL> tag, it defaults to the en-US locale.
