Localization limitations
For Active Roles 8.1.1, the Active Roles Language Pack has the following limitations:
-
The Active Roles documentation and the built-in help files are not translated, and are available only in English.
-
If you use a Windows operating system set to German language on the machine running the Active Roles Administration Service, Configuration Center, Console and components, installing the Language Pack on that machine will switch the language of these components to German. If Windows is set to any other language, these Active Roles components will default to English.
- As the Administration Service will use the German localization on an operating system set to German language after installing the Language Pack, the Active Roles Web Interface will also show errors, messages and reports originating from the Administration Service component in German, regardless of the language selected for the Web Interface.

When the Active Roles Language Pack is installed on the machine(s) running the various Active Roles components, the configured language for the Active Roles Administration Service, Configuration Center, Console and is set within the Windows registry.
