Terminal Server User Guide
6.
The user will see the change of language when he/she logs out (
Main Menu
,
Sessions
Menu
,
Logout
) and logs back into the Terminal Server. If, as Admin user, you change your
language setting to
Customlang
, you will see the text menus display in the new language
when you save and exit the
Change User
form.
Translation Guidance
To help you with your translation, of supplied ASCII text language files we offer the following
guidance:
z
The Terminal Server will support languages other than English (and the supplied German
and French languages). The English language file,
BB_ds_english.txt
, displays the
character length of each line at the beginning of the line. If a translated line goes over that
character length, it will be displayed truncated in the Menu, CLI, or WebManager.
z
Translate line for line, do not omit lines if you do not know the translation; leave the original
untranslated text in place. Also, you must maintain the same sequential order of lines. It is a
good practice to translate the file using a text editor that displays line numbers, so you can
periodically verify that the line sequence has not changed from the original file (by comparing
it to the original file).
z
Keep all translations in quotes, otherwise the line will not display properly.
z
Each line must end with a carriage return.
z
If a line contains only numbers, for example 38400, leave that line in place, unchanged
(unless you are using a different alphabet).
Software Upgrades and Language Files
If you receive a software upgrade for the Terminal Server, the language files supplied on the
supplemental diskette/CD might also have been updated. We will endeavour to provide a list of
those changes in another text file on the same supplemental CD.
If you are already using one of the supplied languages, French or German, you probably want to
update the language file in the Terminal Server. Until you update the Terminal Server with the
new language file, new text strings will appear in English.
If you are already using a language translated from an earlier version, you probably want to
amend your translation. When a language file is updated, we will try to maintain the following
convention:
1.
New text strings will be added to the bottom of the file (not inserted into the body of the
existing file).
2.
Existing text strings, if altered, will be altered in sequence; that is, in their current position in
the file.
3.
The existing sequence of lines will be unchanged.
4.
Until you have the changes translated, new text strings will appear in the Menu, CLI, or
WebManager in English.
Note:
If you download a new software version, you can continue to use your language
unchanged; however, we recommend translating the new strings, which will be added to
the end of the language file. A
Reset to Factory Defaults
will reload the
Customlang
as
English.
On successful download, the
Customlang
in the Terminal Server will be overwritten by
the new language.
Note:
The upgrade of your software (firmware) will not change the display of the language in
the Menu, CLI, or WebManager.
