4.2 Language Setup for International Versions of PlateSpin Forge

PlateSpin Forge provides National Language Support (NLS) for the following languages: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, French, German, and Japanese.

To use the PlateSpin Forge Web Client and integrated help in one of these languages, the corresponding language must be added in your Web browser and moved to the top of the order of preference:

  1. Do the following:

    • Internet Explorer: Click Tools > Internet Options > General tab > Languages.

    • Firefox: Click Tools > Options > Content tab > Languages.

  2. Add the required language and move it up the top of the list.

  3. Save the settings, then start the client application by connecting to your PlateSpin Forge Server. See Launching the PlateSpin Forge Web Client in your User Guide.

NOTE:(For users of Chinese Traditional and Chinese Simplified versions) Attempting to connect to the PlateSpin Forge Server with a browser that does not have a specific version of Chinese added might result in Web server errors. For correct operation, use your browser’s configuration settings to add a specific Chinese language (for example, Chinese [zh-cn] or Chinese [zh-tw]). Do not use the culture-neutral Chinese [zh] language.

The language of a small portion of system messages generated by the PlateSpin Forge Server depends on the operating system interface language selected in your Forge Management VM:

  1. Access your Forge Management VM.

    See Accessing and Working with the Forge Management VM in the Appliance Host in your Appliance Setup and Maintenance Guide.

  2. Start the Regional and Language Options applet (click Start > Run, type intl.cpl, and press Enter), then click the Languages (Windows Server 2003) or Keybords and Languages (Windows Server 2008) tab, as applicable.

  3. If not already installed, install the required language pack. You might need access to your OS installation media.

  4. Select the required language as the interface language of the operating system. When prompted, log off or restart the system.
