CAPI/ACASI Build Options System Language (Date and Time) Settings

Automatically Load Default Keyboard Layout for Associated Language

Checking this build option for CAPI and ACASI automatically activates the keyboard layout or IME that has been defined for the survey language in Windows’ Control Panel Regional and Language Options settings.

Format Dates, Times, and Numbers According to Associated Language

Checking this build option for CAPI and ACASI formats the following response types according to the survey language instead of the system locale:

  • Numeric responses with decimal points are entered and displayed with the language appropriate decimal separator.
  • Spin controls for date questions display language appropriate labels for month.
  • Time of day questions display language appropriate labels for AM and PM.
  • Functions SHORTDATE() and LONGDATE() display dates using language appropriate month names and month-day-year sequence.
