NetIQ recommends that you review the following considerations when deciding whether to use a translated version of Identity Manager.
In general, if an Identity Manager component does not support the language of the operating system, the component’s interface defaults to English. For example, the Identity Manager drivers are available in the same languages as the Identity Manager Engine. When Identity Manager does not support the driver language, the driver configuration defaults to English.
The following iManager plug-ins are available in Spanish, Russian, Italian, and Portuguese, as well as in the languages listed in the previous table.
When you launch the installation program for an Identity Manager component, the following conditions apply:
If the operating system is in a language supported by the installation program, the program defaults to that language. However, you can specify a different language for the installation process.
If the installation program does not support the language of the operating system, the installation program defaults to English.
If the operating system uses a Latin-based language, the installation program allows you to specify any of the Latin-based languages.
If the operating system uses a supported Asian-based language or Russian, the installation program allows you to specify only the language matching the operating system or English.
