Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows 4.4 - Quick Start Guide

Client-side UI customization

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.

Language translation fFiles

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 file name: es-pmlang.ini
• English translation language file name: en-pmlang.ini (used to customize client computers with English locale)
• French translation language file name: fr-pmlang.ini

Privilege Manager automatically searches 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,s with the use of a registry setting.

• Hive: HKCU\Software\Scriptlogic Corporation\Privilege Authority
• Key: Preferred Language
• Type: REG_SZ
• Value: name of language file; for example: es-pmlang.ini

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 automatically copies down (and overwrites existing, if older) language files found on the NETLOGON share.
