When you install WebSphere Lombardi Edition Version 7.2 or the IBM Business Process Manager Version 7.5 products, you find that the Process Center, Process Admin Console, the authoring environment, and the Process Portal all use English as the default language. What do you do if English is not your primary language and you are more proficient in, for example, Spanish? Starting with WebSphere Lombardi Edition Version 7.2 and continuing with the IBM Business Process Manager V7.5 products, support exists for a variety of additional languages through custom localized language packs. These product versions support the following localized language packs:

• Spanish
• Italian
• French
• Dutch
• Portuguese
• German
• Portuguese (Brazil)
• Simplified Chinese
• Japanese
• Korean

Although these products support the additional languages, you might need to implement a custom language localization. Information on the process is available in the following articles, which are available in the IBM BPM Community:

• WebSphere Lombardi Edition version 7.2: Adding Custom Language Packs to WLE 7.2
• IBM Business Process Manager Version 7.5 products: Adding Custom Language Packs to IBM BPM 7.5

Note: Free registration is required to access the IBM BPM Community, which provides access to many additional resources including the sample exchange and helpful information provided by IBM and fellow users.
