Title
User Interface Language Translation -
Description
Privilege Manager supports the text customization of all user-facing dialogs on client computers. In addition to the ability to change the default English dialog text, admins can also create client-side UI customization files for any non-English client language locale. -
Resolution
To customize the language used in the client-side UI, one or more translation files must be located in the same folder where the client files are installed, by default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Quest\Privilege Manager\Client.A language-specific translation file must be named as follows: (two_letter_language_code)-pmlang.ini
Example:
- Spanish translation language filename: es-pmlang.ini
- English translation language filename: en-pmlang.ini (used to customize client computers with English locale)
- French translation language filename: fr-pmlang.ini
NOTE: The en-pmlang.ini file is present in the client folder by default. If no language translation file exists, default English UI text is used. Please see Attachments for the language translation files currently available for download.
Privilege Manager will automatically search for the language translation file corresponding to the language locale setting on a client computer. If no translation file is found, default English client-side text strings are used. A specific language translation file can be used regardless of the Window's local setting with the use of a registry setting.
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USERKey: Software\Scriptlogic Corporation\Privilege Authority
Value: PreferredLanguageType: REG_SZ
Data: name of language file; for example: es-pmlang.iniOf course, the corresponding translation file must exist as described above.In addition to checking locally on the client computer for language translation files, the Privilege Manager client will atomically copy down (and overwrite existing, if older) language files found on the NETLOGON share.
NOTE: NETLOGON is checked for updated language files every time a user logs on to a computer. Additionally, Admins can configure the Privilege Manager client to check an alternate location for updated language translation files. This can be done by updating the TranslationFilesFolder value in HKLM\Software\Scriptlogic Corporation\Privilege Authority.
