Specify a Default User Locale

To specify a default user locale for your users’ streaming sessions, perform the following steps.

Note

If you plan to configure the display language and you want the user locale and display language to match, you do not need to change the user locale. Changing the display language automatically changes the user locale to match.

1. Connect to the image builder that you want to use and sign in with an account that has local administrator permissions. To do so, do either of the following:

   • Use the AppStream 2.0 console (for web connections only)

   • Create a streaming URL (for web or AppStream 2.0 client connections)

     Note

     If the image builder that you want to connect to is joined to an Active Directory domain and your organization requires smart card sign in, you must create a streaming URL and use the AppStream 2.0 client for the connection. For information about smart card sign in, see Smart Cards.

2. On the image builder desktop, choose the Windows Start button, and choose Control Panel.

3. Choose Clock, Language, and Region, then Region.

4. In the Region dialog box, choose the Formats tab.

5. In the Format list, choose a language and region.

   Note

   Currently, AppStream 2.0 supports only English (United States) and Japanese (Japan).

6. Choose OK to close the Region dialog box.

7. If required, configure additional default regional or language settings. Otherwise, on the image builder desktop, open Image Assistant and install and configure applications for streaming.

8. In Step 2 of the Image Assistant process, choose Save settings.

9. Follow the necessary steps in Image Assistant to finish creating your image. For information about how to create an image, see Tutorial: Create a Custom AppStream 2.0 Image by Using the AppStream 2.0 Console.

10. Do one of the following:

    • Create a new fleet and choose your new image for the fleet. For more information, see Create an Amazon AppStream 2.0 Fleet and Stack.

    • Update an existing fleet to use the new image.

11. Associate your fleet with the stack that is assigned to the users for whom you are configuring the default settings.

    The default user locale setting that you configured is applied to the fleet instances and user streaming sessions that are launched from those instances.

Note

Your users can change their user locale from the default setting that you configured to any one of 11 different supported locales. To do so, they can configure their regional settings during application streaming sessions, as described in Enable Your AppStream 2.0 Users to Configure Their Regional Settings. Also, if a user previously selected a user locale when streaming from any fleet instance in the same Region, that user-specified setting automatically overrides any default user locale setting that you specify through your image builder.
