Configuring Languages Other Than U.S. English

By default, all voice prompts, email notifications, and the web user portal use U.S. English. To use a different language or to enable users to choose from multiple languages, complete these high-level tasks.

Restriction

The administrative user interfaces use only U.S. English text.

Procedure

High-Level Task		Where to Find Instructions
1	(For multiple languages only) Purchase, download, and install the languages license. Without the languages license, you can enable only one language on the system. With the installed languages license, you can enable up to four languages on Cisco Unified MeetingPlace.	Planning Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace at http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace%2C_Release_8.0_--_Planning_Your_Deployment.
2	Enable the languages.	Enabling Installed Languages
3	(For multiple languages only) Configure language preferences in the user groups or user profiles. Note: Users can override this setting by selecting a language through the web user portal or over the phone. See the User Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/products_user_guide_list.html.	Specifying Languages for Users
4	(For the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace PhoneView only) Install and configure matching languages in Cisco Unified Communications Manager for the Cisco Unified IP Phones.	Integrating Cisco Unified MeetingPlace with Cisco Unified IP Phones module

Enabling Installed Languages

Before You Begin

• Purchase, download, and install the languages license.
• This task requires a system restart, which terminates all existing call connections. Proceed only during a scheduled maintenance period or during a period of extremely low usage.

Procedure

1. Sign in to the Administration Center.
2. Select System Configuration > Usage Configuration.
3. Configure the Language fields to enable one or more installed languages.
4. Select Save.
5. Restart the system by entering the sudo mpx_sys restart command in the Application Server CLI.

   Note: You do not need to restart the system if you are only switching the order in which the languages appear in these fields.

Specifying Languages for Users

The language setting in each user group or user profile affects these items:

• Language used in email notifications received by the user.
• Language used after signing in to the web user portal, from which users schedule, find, and attend meetings.
• Voice prompt language heard by the user after successful authentication.

During active meetings, however, voice prompts heard by all meeting participants use the meeting language. If the meeting scheduler does not specify the meeting language, the Language configured in the user profile of the meeting owner becomes the meeting language.

• Default language used in the web meeting room for meetings that are scheduled by the user.

All meeting participants see the same language used in the web meeting room. By default, scheduled meetings use the language in the user profile of the meeting owner, but a different language can be selected while scheduling the meeting.

• Language used in reservationless meetings that are set up by the user.

All reservationless meeting participants see the web meeting room in the language specified in the user profile of the meeting owner. Users cannot select a different language.

• Format in which the date appears in the web user portal.
• Language that appears on the Cisco Unified IP Phone screen when subscribed to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace PhoneView.

Before You Begin

Enable the languages. See the Enabling Installed Languages.

Restriction

Users can override this setting by selecting a language through the web user portal. See the User Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/products_user_guide_list.html.

Procedure

1. Sign in to the Administration Center.
2. Select User Configuration.
3. To configure a user group, select User Groups. To configure an individual user profile, select User Profiles.
4. To configure an existing user group or user profile, select Edit. To configure a new user group or user profile, select Add New.
5. Configure the Language field.
6. Select Save.
7. Repeat this task for all user groups and user profiles for which you want to configure language preferences.
