NetIQ translates (localizes) the interface for Identity Manager and its installation programs to support the operating system language on your local computers. However, we cannot support all languages. During installation, some installation programs check the locale of the computer to determine the language for the installation process.
To run the installation program in a specific language, change the locale on Windows through the Regional Settings option. On Linux, set the LANG variable in the profile or through the command line.
The following table lists the available translations per component installation. Components not listed in the table are available in English only. If the component is not translated to the language of the operating system, the program defaults to English. Also, the End User License Agreement in the installation program might not be available in all supported languages.

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 installing Designer on computers running a Linux operating system, you must install the gettext utilities. The GNU gettext utilities provide a framework for internationalized and multilingual messages.
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.
