In the Language Management page, you can view the list of all available languages installed with the product. The interface languages are very important because they allow the system to be presented in the user's native language.
To access this page, click the Settings link in the left panel Navigation area. Next, click the Languages icon available in the DNS Manager area. Multiple actions can be performed:
- Add a new language
- Enable/ Disable an existing language
View the Language List
DNS Manager displays the following information about each language:
- S – The status of language pack, displayed using an icon: Enabled or Disabled.
- Language pack – The 2–letter code of the language. (for example en for English)
- Language – The name of the language in English
- Version – The version of the DNS Manager product for which the language pack was translated.
- Used – The number of accounts currently using this language on their interfaces
DNS Manager allows you to add language packs that correspond to earlier versions of the product. But you cannot use them in the interface.
Add Interface Languages
To add a new interface language to the system, click the Languages icon available in the DNS Manager area in the Settings and follow these steps:
- In the Language Management page, click the Add language icon.
- Use the Path to the language pack file location text box to fill in the location of the language pack file on your computer or use the Browse button to locate the file.
- Click OK to add the new language to the system. Click Cancel to go back to the previous page without adding the language.
The accepted format for the language pack file is .tar.gz.
Delete Interface Languages
To remove interface languages from the system, click the Languages icon available in the DNS Manager area and follow the steps:
- Choose the languages you want to delete by selecting their corresponding check boxes in the records list.
- Click the Remove selected link. A new page opens displaying the list of languages that will be deleted.
- Review the list. If you want to proceed with the removal, select the Confirm the removal check box and click OK. Otherwise click Cancel to return to the previous page without deleting anything.
English cannot be removed and therefore DNS Manager automatically disables its corresponding check box.
You cannot remove languages that are currently selected by system users for their interfaces; their corresponding check boxes are disabled.
