Can I exchange configurations (.jti files) across different locales?
Yes. In harness versions prior to 4.2 it would normally work, but unintended behavior could occur in cases where a numeric question had a stored value. The interview normally stores incorrect answers as a string and saves them for later use. If the user later returns to that question in the Configuration Editor, the invalid answer appears for editing. If a user enters 1,4 for a floating point value in the “en,US” (US English) locale it is invalid. However, if that JTI is transferred to the “fr,FR” (France French), the number becomes valid because that locale uses the comma as the floating point separator. Beginning with version 4.2, invalid values are no longer stored. In addition, the original and current locales are taken into account when reading floating point and integer answers from the JTI file. Invalid answers now stay invalid or blank, and valid answers remain valid. If the JTI file is written out again, it is done so using the current locale. There is currently no way to ask
