This note refers to updating installations where English is not the default language locale. It is only of importance when the behavior setting named MULTI_LOCALE is set to YES and you are importing new messages as part of the update / upgrade process.
When the localization feature is used, the import process updates any titles in the import file which are not in the default locale of the system. For example, if the default locale in the behavior setting named DEFAULT_LANGUAGE is set to a value of jp for Japanese, only non-Japanese titles are updated. If the default locale in the behavior setting named DEFAULT_LANGUAGE is set to a value of en for English, only non-English titles are updated.
As a standard practice, if you are updating / upgrading the system when new non-English messages are present, you should set the DEFAULT_LANGUAGE setting to en before you perform the update / upgrade, to ensure that your local language messages are imported. Once the update / upgrade is complete, you should set the DEFAULT_LANGUAGE back to its original value.
