Changing Server Message Files

English is the default language for both the NetWare operating system and its NLM programs and utilities.

You specified a language for the server when you installed it. To change the server language later, you must first copy new language files to the server and then set the server to the new language and restart the server as follows.

IMPORTANT:  This procedure requires you to restart the server because executing SERVER.EXE sets the server language.

  1. (Conditional) If you are copying the files from the NetWare installation CD-ROM, insert the CD.

  2. At the System Console prompt, enter

    [LOAD] NWCONFIG

  3. Select Product Options > Choose an Item or Product Listed Above > Add Additional Language to the Server.

    The screen displays a box containing the path from which you last installed files. Make sure this path is to the language files. The language files on the NetWare CD are located at

    drive or volume:\NW60\INSTALL\NLS\language_id

    To get a list of language IDs, enter the following at the System Console prompt:

    LANGUAGE LIST

  4. If the path is correct, press Enter; if the path is incorrect, press F3 and type in the correct path to the language files.

    If you are installing the files from another server, type the path to that server; the system might prompt you for a username and password. Follow the prompts.

    The system displays a window listing groups of language files.

  5. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the language you want to install and press Enter.

    The system marks the selected language with an X. You can specify several languages, if desired.

    To deselect a language, move the cursor to the language and press Enter again.

  6. When you have finished selecting languages, press F10.

    The system copies the selected language files.

  7. Press Esc until the Other Installation Items/Products menu is displayed.

  8. Select Change Server Language.

    The screen displays a box containing the path from which you last installed files.

  9. Press Enter to accept the path.

    The system displays a menu listing the available languages.

  10. Select the desired language from the menu.

    If this is the first time you have changed the language, the system displays a prompt specifying the default destination where the language files are to be placed. The location is the default boot directory, C:\NWSERVER.

    The language files must be placed in your boot directory.

  11. Accept the default or type the path to your boot directory.

    After you specify the boot directory, the system loads the language files.

  12. Restart the server for the change to take effect.
