Keywords:
You can override the languages specified in the 46xxsettings.txt by adding a SET LANGUAGES command for each phone in the 46xxspecials.txt file.
  • By default, you can specify up to 4 language files (the phones support English by default).
  • For J100 R4.0.13 and higher, you can specify up to 6 languages.

Example

The following is an example from an IP Office system's auto-generated 46xxsettings.txt file. The command instructs the J189 phones to download language files for Spanish, French, Dutch, and German.
...
IF $MODEL4 SEQ J189 GOTO J189AUTOGENERATEDSETTINGS
...
# J189AUTOGENERATEDSETTINGS
SET LANGUAGES Mlf_J189_CastilianSpanish.xml,Mlf_J189_ParisianFrench.xml,Mlf_J189_Dutch.xml,Mlf_J189_German.xml
GOTO NONAUTOGENERATEDSETTINGS
...
The SET LANGUAGES command in this example 46xxspecials.txt files overrides the SET LANGUAGES command above and instructs the J189 phones to download the same languages plus Italian and Dutch.
...
IF $MODEL4 SEQ J189 GOTO J189SPECIALS
...
# J139SPECIALS
SET LANGUAGES Mlf_J189_CastilianSpanish.xml,Mlf_J189_ParisianFrench.xml,Mlf_J189_Dutch.xml,Mlf_J189_German.xml,Mlf_J189_Italian.xml,Mlf_J189_Dutch.xml
GOTO NONAUTOGENERATEDSETTINGS
...

Notes

If the user selects a language through the phone menu that matches one supported by the IP Office for phone strings, the IP Office system will change the user Locale setting to match. It will then use the same language in the IP Office menus on the phone. Otherwise, those menus will match the existing system or user Locale.
