3.11 Accommodating Multiple Languages

The Novell Vibe installation program runs in English only. When you install the Vibe software, you can choose to have the primary language of the Vibe site to be any of the following languages:

  • Chinese-Simplified

  • Chinese Traditional

  • Danish

  • Dutch

  • English

  • French

  • German

  • Hungarian

  • Italian

  • Japanese

  • Polish

  • Portuguese

  • Russian

  • Spanish

  • Swedish

Some languages have an additional distinction by locale (the country where the language is spoken).

The language you select during installation establishes the language of the global text that displays in locations where all Vibe users see it, such as in the Workspace tree when you click the Workspace tree icon :

The language you select also establishes the default interface language and locale for creating new workspaces.
