The user sets the user interface language when logging into the system.
PPM supports English and German interface texts for menu items, dialog boxes, etc. The interface texts are contained in the code for the PPM software.
Warning
In order to be able to use PPM in multiple languages, an international version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed.
The languages available for selection in the Login dialog can be set separately for each PPM client in the file *_locales.xml. The file is structured as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE locales SYSTEM "Locales.dtd">
<locales>
<defaultlocale value="en" />
<locale value="de" />
<locale value="fr" />
</locales>
If the language for the specified language code cannot be determined, e.g., an unknown language code is entered in a login URL, the default language is used:
http://<Web server>/ppm/html/index.html?language=1234
You can only specify one of the languages available for the user interface as the default language.
The XML configuration file *_locales.xml is defined by the following DTD:
