12.1 Accommodating Multiple Languages

12.1.1 Understanding the Teaming Site Default Language

There can be only one default language for the entire Novell® Teaming site. You select the default language when you install Teaming, as described in Accommodating Multiple Languages in the Novell Teaming 2.0 Installation Guide.

When you create Teaming users, you can select a locale for each user, which determines the language of each personal workspace. However, when users who speak various languages work together on a Teaming site, they can often see interface text that is not in their preferred language. Examples include:

  • Standardized text such as Home Workspace, Global Workspaces, Personal Workspaces, and Team Workspaces at the top of the Teaming Home page

  • Standardized group names, such as All Users

  • Login page

Although you cannot change standardized group names, such as All Users, you can rename the standardized workspaces to include multiple languages. Although the Teaming login page can be displayed in only one language, you can change the page’s default language.You must be logged in as the Teaming administrator in order to perform these tasks.

12.1.2 Setting Up a Multilingual Workspace Name

  1. Browse to the workspace.

  2. Click Manage > Modify This Workspace.

  3. In the Title field, add text in another language, then click OK.

12.1.3 Changing the Default Language on the Login Page

The language of the Novell Teaming login page is decided by the Guest user account. Because of this, you can display in the login page only one language for your entire Teaming site.

To change the language of the Guest user account, and therefore change the language that is displayed on the Teaming login page:

  1. Navigate to the Guest workspace.

  2. In the Workspace toolbar, click Manage Profile > Modify.

    The User page is launched.

  3. In the Locale drop-down list, select the language that you want to be displayed on your login page.

    Users who log in as Guest view the Teaming site in the language that you select.

  4. Click OK.
