Templates can use both standard out-of-the-box locales and user-defined locales. Templates support Date Format, Currency Format, Currency and Number Precision for user-defined locales. You must have at least one standard or user-defined locale in Contract Management, to use the locales in the template.

• If your system administrator deletes a user-defined locale after you have created a template using that locale, you'll get a warning message while checking in that template.
• If your system administrator deletes all the locales which are by default configured after Contract Management package installation, when you create a new template, you'll see a warning message.
• If you create a template using a custom locale and your system administrator deletes that locale. When you check in that template, you'll see a warning message and your locale value will take the value of the first locale in the Locale picklist.
• If you delete a locale that you had used at field-level in the template, that field will not show any locale value in X-Author Contracts and when you generate an agreement, it will show the original locale.

In such a scenario, you can use the default locale, that is, English (U.S.) to check in the template. Based on the version of Contract Management and X-author Contracts, the locale support works as described in the table below:
