# Locale overrides
Localization here means the way in which times, dates and numbers are displayed and interpreted by AyaNova.
It is separate and distinct from the [Translation](adm-translations.md) feature of AyaNova which is used to set the text displayed in the user interface.

AyaNova relies on the web browser to provide the language and time zone to be used automatically. These settings in turn determine how time, date, currency and numbers are displayed and interpreted when typed in.

## When to override
Ideally you should never have to override language or time zone; the browser should automatically provide the correct settings for the user based on their device and operating system. If a change is required it's best to try to set it inside the browser itself using the Browser's own settings first before using the settings below in AyaNova as a last resort.

Browsers do not have a default currency code (at time of writing) so this is one setting that _must_ be set by the user.
Currency code is set in the same [User settings](home-user-settings.md) form where the [language code](#language-code-override) and [time zone](#time-zone-override) overrides are located.
The Currency Code controls how currency values are displayed and accepted for input in AyaNova. The code must be one of the 3 character alphabetic [ISO 4217 active currency codes](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217#Active_codes) This value is _required_ and cannot be determined from the Browser itself. If no setting is made the _default_ value is "USD" for dollar symbol $.
