Encoding Files for Multi-Language Support
Character encoding is a mapping of characters and symbols used in written language into a binary format used by computers. Character encoding affects how you store and transmit data. The encoding option in Users > Resource Policies > Files > Encoding allows you to specify the encoding to use when communicating with Windows and NFS file shares. The encoding option does not affect the end-user language environment.
To specify the internationalization encoding for system traffic:
- In the admin console, choose Users > Resource Policies > Files > Encoding.
- Select the appropriate option:
- Western European (ISO-8859-1) (default) (Includes English, French, German, Spanish)
- Simplified Chinese (CP936)
- Simplified Chinese (GB2312)
- Traditional Chinese (CP950)
- Traditional Chinese (Big5)
- Japanese (Shift-JIS)
- Korean

Localizing the User Interface
The system provides a means to display the end-user interface in one of the supported languages. Combining this feature with (custom) sign-in and system pages and a localized operating system provides a fully localized user experience.
When you specify a language, the system displays the user interface, including all menu items, dialogs generated by the system, and the help file in the chosen language for all users regardless of which realm they sign in to.
To configure localization options:
- In the admin console, choose Maintenance > System > Options.
- Use the End-user Localization drop-down list to specify the language in which to display the end-user interface (optional). If you do not specify a language, the end-user interface displays based on the settings of the browser.
- Click Save Changes.
Localizing Custom Sign-In and System Pages
The system provides several zip files that contain different sets of sample template files for various pages that may appear during the sign-in process. Use these template files along with the template toolkit language to create localized custom sign-in and system pages for your end users.
Editing the default sign-in page using text in the language of your choice is a quick way to provide your users with a localized sign-in page.
