Chapter 9 Customizing the portal and user logon 393

To change the language displayed for tab names, general text, messages, buttons, and field labels on the portal page, do the following:

1Export the language definition template (see “Configuring language support using the CLI” on page 402 or “Importing and exporting language definitions” on page 422).

2Translate the language definition template file.

a Open the file with a text editor such as Notepad.

b Verify that the charset parameter specified in the Content-Type entry is set according to the character encoding scheme you are using. For example:

“Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1/n”

cTranslate the entries displayed under msgstr (message string).

Note: Do not translate the entries under msgid (message id).

There are useful Open Source software tools for translating po files. Search for po files editor in your web search engine to find tools that run on Windows and Unix. A translation tool is particularly useful when a new version of the Nortel SNAS 4050 software is released: you can export the new template file supplied with the software and merge it with a previously translated language file, so that only new and changed text strings need to be translated.

3Import the translated language definition file (see “Configuring language support using the CLI” on page 402 or “Importing and exporting language definitions” on page 422).

4Set the portal to display the new language (see “Setting the portal display language using the CLI” on page 404 or “Setting the portal display language using the SREM” on page 424).
