Installing a Localized Version

Topics:

An installation program in a supported local language is provided for the WebFOCUS Reporting Server, the WebFOCUS Client, WebFOCUS App Studio, and other Information Builders software. The sequence of steps in the installation procedure is identical to the English version of the product.

By default, the installation program uses the same language specified in the operating system's regional settings or browser language options. If that language is not available in a localized version, English is used instead.

WebFOCUS Reporting Server

With the exception of the sample application files used for demos, all WebFOCUS Reporting Server localized versions are included with every installation. To install localized demos, select from the list of available language options when prompted during the server installation procedure. For an illustration, see Language Selection for Demo Files.

For a full description of the installation procedure, see the WebFOCUS and ReportCaster Installation and Configuration manual for your operating system.

In addition, you can localize the Reporting Server Web Console for languages that are not automatically included with the installation. Since this procedure is closely related to the server configuration for NLS, instructions for localizing the Web Console are described in detail in Configuring the WebFOCUS Reporting Server for NLS.

Example: Language Selection for Demo Files

During WebFOCUS Reporting Server installation, select the language for the New Century Corporation demo application.

New Century Corporation Demo files. Select languages to install (be sure 
to select corresponding demo files during WebFOCUS installation).
 
1. English
2. French
3. German
4. Spanish
 
Type choices separated by spaces or press Enter to bypass demo 
installation.

The demo file column titles will match the language set for the Reporting Server if a translated version of that file is available. For example, if the Reporting Server is running in Italian, the wf_retail demo uses Italian column titles.
