Stay up to date with the latest locale formats and time zones. Prepare for a new style for Japanese katakana. And the new leone is available as a currency.
- Enable ICU Locale Formats (Release Update)
To conduct business wherever you are, adopt the International Components for Unicode (ICU) locale formats. Locales control the formats for dates, times, currencies, addresses, names, and numeric values. ICU sets the international standard for these formats. The ICU locale formats provide a consistent experience across the platform and improve integration with ICU-compliant applications across the globe. When you enable this update, the ICU locale formats replace Oracle’s Java Development Kit (JDK) locale formats in Salesforce. This update was first made available in Winter ’20. - Prepare for Locale Format Changes
Stay up to date with the latest locale formats from International Components for Unicode (ICU) and Oracle’s Java Development Kit (JDK). Whether you use the ICU or the JDK format, we recommend that you evaluate how the changes affect you. This release includes ICU 71.1, which uses Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) version 41, and JDK version 11, which uses CDLR version 33. - Review Updated Time Zones
Keep up to date with renamed time zones. Apia Daylight Time (GMT+14:00) is no longer observed, and four time zones are renamed. - Review Updated Label Translations
To improve accuracy and your users’ experience, we updated the translations for some standard object, tab, and field names for these languages: Chinese (Simplified), Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Spanish (Mexico), and Romanian. - Prepare for the Japanese Katakana Style Change
To improve the Japanese katakana translation for foreign language words, we plan to replace the current Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) style with the 1991 Cabinet Notification Directive style in Winter ’24. - Conduct Business with the New Leone
To help support your customers in Sierra Leone, the new leone (SLE) currency is available in Salesforce.
