The following conditions apply when an Identity Manager installer is launched:

  • If the operating system is in a language supported by the Identity Manager installer, the language picker for the Identity Manager installer defaults to that language.

  • If the operating system is in a language not supported by the Identity Manager installer, the language picker for the Identity Manager installer defaults to English.

  • If the operating system is a Latin type language, all of the other Latin type languages will be available from the language picker.

  • If the operating system is Asian or Russian, only the language of the operating system and English will be available in the language picker.

The Identity Manager installers detect the locale of a system and decide which language to support. To install a new language on your system, change the locale on Windows through the Regional Settings option. On Linux/Solaris, set the LANG variable in the profile or through the command line.

7.13.1 Non-Installer Language Considerations

Although Designer is localized in nine languages, the Identity Manager drivers are localized only in five languages. If the driver language is not supported, the driver configuration defaults to English.

All of the Identity Manager iManager plug-ins are translated into five languages. Four iManager plug-ins are translated into Spanish, Russian, Italian, and Portuguese. On localized systems, the localized plug-ins are translated, and all other plug-ins are in English. On Danish, Dutch, and Swedish systems, all plug-ins are in English.
