What exact dependencies do we face by changing locale in Salesforce?

If I change my user's locale, what all things would be affected in salesforce system?
Can anybody please help with that?

Regards,
Nidhi Sharma

Hi Nidhi,
  • Locale will affect default currency and so probably will the default currency ISO code.
  • This might affect currency calculations
  • I have never changed locale from Canada to the US but I have done it for UK and USA and I had to make sure that all default currency calculation wasn't affected.
  • Also, if the profiles in your org have login hours specified, the locale setting might affect that as well because the default Timezone will get affected.
For more information please check with below link. Hope this helps.

Kindly mark this as solved if the reply was helpful.

Thanks,
Nagendra

Hi,


The Salesforce locale settings determine the display formats for date and time, users’ names, addresses, and commas and periods in numbers. For single-currency organizations, locales also set the default currency for the organization when you select them in the Currency Locale picklist on the Company Information page.

I would suggest you refer below help article for more information on this.
