<font size="-1"><b><a name="locale" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Locale</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    Sets the global Jive Forums locale. The locale is used for formatting dates    and numbers. Additionally, if a language file corresponding to the locale    is available with the default skin, that language will be used.    Languages listed in a    <span style="background-color:#dddddd;">gray background</span>    represent supported Jive Forums languages. If you choose one of these languages    the default forum interface will be translated into that language.    </font></ul><font size="-1"><b><a name="time_zone" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Time Zone</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    The default time zone that should be used to display times to end-users.    </font></ul><font size="-1"><b><a name="charset" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Character Set</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    The character set controls how content is encoded and stored in the    database. The default encoding is ISO-8859-1, which is suitable for    most Latin languages. If you need to support double byte character sets    such as Chinese or Japanese, it's recommend that you use utf-8    as the charset (Unicode). Unicode offers simultaneous support for a    large number of languages and is easy to convert into native charsets    as necessary. You may also specifiy any other charset that is supported    by your JVM. A list of encodings supported by the Sun JVM can be found    <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html"     target="_blank">    here.</a><p>    In order for a particular encoding to work (such as Unicode), your    application server and database may need to be specially configured.    Please consult your server documentation for more information. For    example, SQLServer has a special column type for Unicode text, and the    Resin application server can be configured to use a custom charset by    adding a &lt;character-encoding&gt; element to the web.xml or resin.conf    files. Any Servlet 2.3 compliant application servers also supports the    method HttpServletRequest.setCharacterEncoding(String). A Servlet 2.3    Filter called SetCharacterEncodingFilter is installed in the default    Jive Forums web.xml file, which  will set the incoming character encoding    to global Jive encoding.    </font></ul>
