Language Support

Language Support

Two language files, in addition to English, are supplied on the supplemental CD, French and German. You can use any of these language files to create a translation into a language of your choice. You can download the language file (whether the language is supplied or translated) into the IOLAN and select the Language option of Custom Language or Customlang (custom language), making the Menu and CLI field labels display in the desired language.

You can view Menu or CLI in one other language only (as well as English). If you download another language file, this new language will replace the first language you downloaded.

You can revert to English at any time; the English language is stored permanently in the IOLAN and is not overwritten by your new language. Each user logged into the IOLAN can operate in either English or the downloaded language.

Loading a Supplied Language

This section describes how to download a language file using the CLI, since it is the least intuitive method. French and German language files are provided on the supplemental CD.

To load one of the supplied languages into the IOLAN, so the Menu or CLI fields appear in another language, do the following:

1.Open the supplemental CD and identify the language file, either Iolan_ds_French.txt or Iolan_ds_German.txt, or supply one of your own translated files.

2.Copy the language file to a host machine on the network; place it in the main file system or on the main hard drive.

3.Either use the TFTP defaults in the IOLAN or, configure as necessary, TFTP in the IOLAN.

4.In the CLI of the IOLAN, enter the host IP address and file name; for example, netload customlang 172.16.4.1 /temp/Iolan_ds_French.txt

The IOLAN will download the language file via TFTP.

In DeviceManager select Tools, Advanced, Custom Files and then select Download Custom Language File and browse to the language file. In WebManager select Administration, Custom Files and then specify the Custom Language File option and browse to the language file.

5.To set an individual user to the new language, go to the Users menu and, in the Language field select Customlang. In the CLI (only) you can set individual users or all users to the new language; see the set user * command.

6.The user will see the change of language when he/she logs out (Main Menu, Sessions Menu, Logout) and logs back into the IOLAN. If, as Admin user, you change your language setting to Customlang, you will see the text menus display in the new language when you save and exit the Change User form. Users with Level Normal can also change their display language.

Note: If you download a new software version, you can continue to use your language unchanged; however, we recommend translating the new strings, which will be added to the end of the language file. A Reset to Factory Defaults will reload the Customlang as English.

On successful download, the Customlang in the IOLAN will be overwritten by the new language.
