9608 Language Pack? 1

[f3liC]

One of our customers is requesting some phones to display the language of Japanese instead of English. According to this document on page 9:

https://downloads.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100177992

Japanese should be already there. However, under the language menu, I only see English, Portuguese, Canadian French, Italian and Spanish. I saw that the manager folder was missing mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt but even after putting it in the SD card, I still do not see Japanese listed. I can't find any other language packs on Avaya Support for IPO. Pulling hairs just looking for this language pack. Does anyone have any information on this?

I am running IPO 9.0 build 860 if that helps.

You need to change the 46xxsettings.text file and add the language for this type of phone in there.
Then upload the file and reboot the phone.

BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

Am I looking at ### 96xx and 16CC SIP SETTINGS ### / ### Language Settings ### / SET LANGUAGES Mlf_German.xml,Mlf_ParisianFrench.xml,Mlf_LatinAmericanSpanish.xml?

If ^ is the case, where do I find Mlf_Japanese.xml? Searching for that gives me manuals/guides on Avaya Support.

Or:

96xx and 16CC SIP SETTINGS and creating something similar below with Japanese instead?

## LANG1FILE specifies the name of the language file for the first user-selectable language.
## The file name can contain 0-32 ASCII characters.
## The default value is null, which results no user-selectable language for this parameter.
## This parameter is supported by:
## 96x1 H.323 R6.0 and later
## SET LANG1FILE mlf_S96x1_v87_german.txt

in this case:

5 being the next one available

## LANG5FILE specifies the name of the language file for the fourth user-selectable language.
## The file name can contain 0-32 ASCII characters.
## The default value is null, which results no user-selectable language for this parameter.
## This parameter is supported by:
## 96x1 H.323 R6.0 and later
## SET LANG5FILE mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt

Remove the ## before the line ## SET LANG5FILE mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt
Then copy the settings file to the SD card and reboot the phones

Under the following location in 46xxsettings.txt, I have put this:

# SETTINGS96X1

# SETTINGS96X1H323

## LANG5FILE specifies the name of the language file for the fifth user-selectable language.
## The file name can contain 0-32 ASCII characters.
## The default value is null, which results no user-selectable language for this parameter.
## This parameter is supported by:
## 96x1 H.323 R6.0 and later
SET LANG5FILE mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt




However, after a restart of the phones, I still do not see the language listed under home > option and settings > screen & sound options. I double checked by taking out the SD card and seeing that the line with "set" is without ## just like above. Restarted IPO and still do not see it either. mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt is not a blank file either. Also confirmed that this extension is H323.


Upon reading the knowledge base some more, this is what it states:

"1600/9600 Series Phone Languages
In addition to English, the 1600 and 9600 phones can support up to four (4) other languages. This is done by the phones, which download the language files specified in the 46xxsettings.txt file. Currently nine (9) non-English language files are provided as part of the IP Office Manager installation."

Therefore, it seems I already have my 1+4 languages in there. It seems now my goal is to take out one. Listing out LangXfile, I have the following under # SETTINGS96X1H323:

Langsys = German
lang1file = German
lang2file = Russian
lang3file = Spanish Latin
lang4file = Korean
lang5file = Japanese

Again, I only see English, Portuguese, Canadian French, Italian and Spanish. Where is it that I am exactly deleting another language? Or am I even on the right track? Sorry for the long post.

It seems what I stated was correct. You cannot add an entry for the fifth. Instead, you need to edit 1-4 with the text file name in order to complete it. So in the end, this is what it should look like:

## LANG4FILE specifies the name of the language file for the fourth user-selectable language.
## The file name can contain 0-32 ASCII characters.
## The default value is null, which results no user-selectable language for this parameter.
## This parameter is supported by:
## 96x1 H.323 R6.0 and later
SET LANG4FILE mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt
##

Took me forever to figure this one out....

However now I'm stuck with a bug where all the "home" display language is in Japanese and everything else under the softkey "feature" is in English (or whatever other language you want it to be displayed in) including the default display with extension on it. Perhaps this is due to the fact that mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt is incomplete. I will report back to you guys in a little bit and see where this takes me.

Again, mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt was missing from my manager folder so I happened to Google it out. Can someone confirm this file is 130 KB (133,134 bytes) with Creation Date & Time: 23Jun2013 08:34?

Or perhaps can someone link me theirs?

@f2liC, why didn't you google it from the beginning?
I have told you what to do, with the latest releae of IP Office 500V2 using the manager as the fileserver is not advisable as the IPO can be the fileserver by itself and it holds all the files needed.
So you only have to adjust the file as I mentioned before.
Size doesn't matter ( well at least in this case...) and can differ.
Now I will give you another tip:
Set the locale of the IP Office to japanese, remove the 46xxsettings.txt file from the SD card ( if it is tere at all), reboot IP Office, open a websession to the ip address of ipoffice like this:

http://ipoaddrr/mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt

, IP Office will autoegenerate a text file with the japanese language enabled.
Now copy the text from the web page and store it as mlf_S96x1_v87_japanese.txt, copy it to the SD card and set the locale of IPO back to its previous setting and reboot IP Office.

I agree with Intrigrant but i would try (just because i am stubborn) to set the locale of the user to Japanese and see what happens then because system locale will affect business continuity for sure.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

 

[intrigrant]

Try to read AND understand ( difficult for a man, i agree ), I advised to set it to japanese locale, retrieve the settings file and then set the locale back to initial state.
You know me, this is the easiest and laziest way to get a proper settings file without searching end editing in a chaotic settings file.

 

[tlpeter]

I did read well and i do understand what you mean.
But it requires two reboots and i would try the user locale to see if it will generate some file also.


BAZINGA!

Thanks guys! I'll keep this in mind for when this comes up again.
