Windows operating systems

Language

The language option specifies the national language in which to present client messages.

You can use US English (ENU) with all clients.

The language that is displayed by the backup-archive client GUI is defined by the Windows display locale and not the Windows system locale. For example, if the Windows system and input locale is French, but the display locale is Russian, the language that is displayed by the backup-archive client GUI is Russian by default, if the language option is not used. If you want the backup-archive client GUI to display in US English or another language, you can override the default display language by specifying the language option.

Tip: The language option does not affect the web client. The web client displays in the language associated with the locale of the browser. If the browser is running in a locale that client does not support, the web client is displayed in US English.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all Windows clients.

Options File

Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt). You can set this option on the Regional Settings tab, Language drop-down list of the Preferences editor.
