Configure selectable languages for ARIS Process Board

You can specify which locales are displayed in the list of selectable languages.

Remove a language

You can remove unwanted languages from the language list. To do so proceed as follows.

Procedure

  1. Start ARIS Cloud Controller.

    ARIS Cloud Controller can be used in multiple modes.

    To start ACC under a Windows operating system click Start > All Programs > ARIS > Administration > Start ARIS Cloud Controller. If you have changed agent user credentials you must enter the user name and/or the password.

    To start ACC under a Linux operating system, execute the acc10.sh shell script instead. To do so, enter: su -c acc10.sh aris10.

  2. Stop the relevant runnable by typing stop apg_m, for example.

  3. Open the ARIS Process Board configuration file (for example <ARIS installation directory>\server\bin\work\work_apg_m\base\webapps\processboard\WEB-INF\tl-configuration.xml).

    All supported locales are listed by default in the configuration file.

  4. Remove the locales you do not want to use.

    • If the configuration file contains the operating system's locale, it is selected by default.

    • If the configuration file does not contain the operating system's locale, the first locale specified in the list is selected.

  5. Start the relevant runnable by typing start apg_m, for example.

If the configuration file does not contain any locales, the English (US) locale is used by default (the xml locales element is empty).
