Feature Reference
The system manager can program specific extensions or consecutive
blocks of extensions in English, French, or Spanish as necessary. In
addition, an individual user with a Release 1.1 and later MLX telephone
can choose one of the three languages most appropriate for his or her
own extension.
The system manager can program SMDR report headers and the
headings and text of system programming reports to be printed in
English, French, or Spanish.
A user of System Programming and Maintenance (SPM) software can
select English, French, or Spanish as the language for its displays and
messages.
MLX-10D, MLX-20L, and MLX-28D display telephones and MLX-10
nondisplay telephones can be obtained in three separate versions, with
factory-imprinted buttons in English, French, or Spanish.
System Language
Through system programming, the system manager selects a language for the
entire system, determining the language used for all MLX telephone displays,
SMDR headings, system programming reports, and maintenance displays.
Extension Language
A Release 1.1 and later MLX telephone can operate in English, French, or
Spanish, independently of the system language. The language for an extension
can be selected either by the system manager through system programming or
by the user at the extension. This setting also controls the Reminder feature and
the Alarm Clock feature on MLX display and nondisplay telephones, using a
12-hour clock on telephones operating in English and a 24-hour clock on
telephones operating in French or Spanish.
After the user selects a language, the choice is confirmed on Line 2 of MLX
display telephones. If the choice is English, the display shows the words In
English .
If the choice is French, the display shows the words En français .
If the choice is Spanish, the display shows the words En español .
After 5 seconds, Line 2 changes to a display of the date and time. In English,
the date is shown as month day and the time is shown in 12-hour format (a.m. or
p.m.). In French and Spanish, the date is shown as day month and the time is
shown in 24-hour format. At MLX nondisplay telephones, the only effect of this
selection is a different time format (12-hour clock versus 24-hour clock) required
when dialing times for the Reminder feature.
