For a rule project developed with vocabulary in English

• have created a dutch (model_nl.voc) vocabulary file
• restarted eclipse with dutch locale eclipse.exe -nl nl_NL
• the action rule and decision table locale is still in en_US though system provided labeling for indication with-in artifacts or artifact names under menu had changed
• able to see that locale for any newly created action rule is nl_NL

Why is that rule designer not able to load existing rules in designer locale when changed?

is this a limitation or am I missing any process steps and is it possible to load rule content with vocabulary for the locale?

It would be great help if someone could guide me or help with the process.

Thank you...

This is expected.

The locale that you use to create a new rule ends up being registered in the brl/rfl/dta/ etc... files that save the rules / ruleflows :

You will see:

<locale>en_US</locale>

So just importing an existing rule project in a Rule Designer that was started with a different locale won't change that.

When switching between Dutch or English, it may seems easy to just re-read the rule in an other locale (interchangeable), but this is not always true.

The sentence grammatical order may be completely different. For instance if you switch from Japanese to English.
