To change the language displayed for tab names, general text, messages, buttons,
and field labels on the portal page, do the following:
1 Export the language definition template (see “Configuring language support
using the CLI” on page 402 or “Importing and exporting language
definitions” on page 422).
2 Translate the language definition template file.
a Open the file with a text editor such as Notepad.
b Verify that the
charset parameter specified in the Content-Type entry is
set according to the character encoding scheme you are using. For
example:
c Translate the entries displayed under
msgstr (message string).
There are useful Open Source software tools for translating po files.
Search for po files editor in your web search engine to find tools that run
on Windows and Unix. A translation tool is particularly useful when a
new version of the Nortel SNAS 4050 software is released: you can
export the new template file supplied with the software and merge it with
a previously translated language file, so that only new and changed text
strings need to be translated.
3 Import the translated language definition file (see “Configuring language
support using the CLI” on page 402 or “Importing and exporting language
definitions” on page 422).
4 Set the portal to display the new language (see “Setting the portal display
language using the CLI” on page 404 or “Setting the portal display language
using the SREM” on page 424).
Note: Do not translate the entries under msgid (message id).
“Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1/n”
