Language support

The user interface is available in a number of languages that are generally available to all applications. Some applications individually support additional languages.

Note: The following information is applicable to locale management for customer-managed Maximo® Application Suite. For IBM managed Maximo Application Suite Dedicated, some aspects of locale management is handled by your Maximo Application Suite representative. For more information, see your Welcome letter.
The user interface language
The languages that are displayed in the user interface are controlled by your browser settings, your preferred language setting, and the application base language.
Browser language setting
When users access the Maximo Application Suite user interface, the displayed language is set by their browser language settings, if the language is available. If the language that is selected in the browser is not available, the application base language is displayed.
Preferred language setting
Users can overrule the browser setting by selecting a preferred language, which is then displayed in supported applications no matter what the current browser language setting is. If the application does not support the preferred language setting, then the displayed language is controlled by the browser language setting.
For a breakdown of the language options that are available, see the following list.
