These preferences allow you to have complete customization over language= , date formats, and currency standards. You should only ever need to config= ure the Dates and Currency preferences if you are in a country outside of t= he United States; changes made to these preferences will take effect immedi= ately.
In the United States of America, date formats are typically expressed in= month, day, year order; however, the vast majority of the world expresses = dates in the ascending order of day, month, year. These two formats can cau= se massive date confusion. For example, in the United States, 03/07/16 gene= rally means it is the 7th of March, 2016=E2=80=94in the rest of the world, = it means it is the 3rd of July, 2016. Changing Dates settings will affect a= ll circulation computations (e.g. reservations and holds) and nearly every = date format displayed throughout Alexandria, including those found in Repor= ts, Policies (e.g. hard due dates), notifications, etc.
This preference allows you to set Alexandria to operate in your default = language. Changing the default language requires a browser refresh to take = effect.
Alexandria cannot always catalog or display languages with alphabets con= taining non-Roman characters (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russi= an, etc.). However, non-Roman languages that have been =E2=80=9Ctranslated= =E2=80=9D to Roman (Latin) can be saved. For example, the Arabic language b= ook =E2=80=9C=D9=83=D8=AA=D8=A7=D8=A8 =D8=A3=D9=84=D9=81 =D9=84=D9=8A=D9=84= =D8=A9 =D9=88=D9=84=D9=8A=D9=84=D8=A9=E2=80=8E=E2=80=9D could be translated= to =E2=80=9COne Thousand and One Nights=E2=80=9D and then successfully cat= aloged in Alexandria.
The default language preference is initially set by your Alexandria regi= stration information.
