This article will provide details to Set the Display Language for the Web-UI

Synopsis

By default, the Software Manager Web-UI will display in English. This article provide information on how to change the language displayed by the Web-UI.

Discussion

After registering a product with Flexnet Connect, a registration file will be created in the following directory:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\FLEXnet\Connect\Database

The file will be named <productCode>.ini, where <productCode> reflects the product code of the registered product, the following should be seen:

LanguageID=1033

This LanguageID value will control the what language the user interface will display in. By default, this is set to 1033 (English). For example, if you want the Web-UI to display in German, then you would need to set the LanguageID to "1031". Typically, this is done as part of the installation process, by setting the DWUSLANG MSI property. You can also set this by running the following command line:

agent.exe -sv<productCode> "LanguageID" "1031"

NOTE: In addition to changing the language that the Web-UIs is displayed in, this will also evaluate the language defined for the update. For example, if you have an update which has the language property set to English, then the update will only display when the language ID in productCode.ini is set to "1033". If you wanted to display an update if the LanguageID is set to 1031, then your update must have the language set to either "German", or "{Any Language}".
