The GroupWise client software is available in a broad range of languages to meet the needs of
users in many countries. If your GroupWise system services users who speak more than one
language, the following tasks help you meet your multilingual users' needs.
Section 71.1, "Providing the GroupWise Client Software in Multiple Languages," on
page 1141
Section 71.2, "Providing Post Office Support for Multiple Languages," on page 1141
71.1 Providing the GroupWise Client Software in
Multiple Languages
1 Make sure that you have the multilingual version of GroupWise.
2 Install the client software in the languages you need in one or more software distribution
directories, following the instructions in
page 69.
3 Distribute the client software to users, as described in
Client," on page 1127.
By installing the GroupWise client software in their language of choice, users can begin using
GroupWise in that language immediately. However, there are a few language-related details of
GroupWise functionality that are not taken care of by the client software running on users'
workstations. For a fuller multilingual implementation, continue with
Office Support for Multiple Languages," on page
71.2 Providing Post Office Support for Multiple
Languages
A few aspects of GroupWise functionality are affected by the language in use by the POA running
for the post office to which users belong. The POA returns certain text in the language in which it is
running, not the language in use on users' workstations.
The status information (Delivered, Opened, an so on) displayed in the Properties page of items
The text of return notification mail receipts (if the user has enabled this type of notification)
The sort order in the Address Book
In some circumstances, these issues can be resolved by grouping users who speak the same language
into the same post office and then installing the POA in the same language that the users are using.
For more information, see
At present, the POA is available in fewer languages than the GroupWise client, so this solution helps
only those client users who are somewhat familiar with the language in use by the POA. For more
information, see Chapter 7, "Multilingual GroupWise Systems," on page
Section 4.9, "Software Directory Management," on
1141.
