It's All About Perspective
First and foremost, it’s worth pointing out that Sage 300 is developed, designed, and supported by a diverse team of engineers that hails from all corners of the world. Sage believes strongly that a software product ultimately reflects the team that builds it and the Sage 300 folks truly reflect a diverse, innovative, and “world-wise” group.
The International Language of Accounting
Sage 300 allows you to install multiple languages, each of which is assigned per user. In other words, you can have an AP clerk running Sage 300 in Spanish, a warehouse manager running French, and accounting staff running English.
This might come in handy for companies that have branches or divisions in several countries. Out of the box, Sage 300 supports 5 languages (including English, French, Spanish and Chinese) while add-on packs are available for other languages.

Sage 300 also supports up to 3 decimal places and 18 digits (15 before and 3 after the decimal - more than most competing accounting products offer!). And with a centralized table of all exchange rates, you can use the power of automation to keep track of ever-changing currency valuation.

Local and Regional Preferences
The development team for Sage 300 is also mindful of various regional settings that include things like date preferences (mm/dd/yy vs. dd/mm/yy), characters used for number formatting (decimal vs. comma), currency symbols and much more.
And when it comes to localization, the configuration options and flexibility of Sage 300 ERP can accommodate the nuances of almost any jurisdiction. So rather than providing separate Australian, Canadian, and American versions of Sage 300 to accommodate the respective sales tax laws, the ERP software is available in one version that boasts a sales tax engine that’s powerful enough to tackle just about any local sales tax compliance law you’ll encounter.
