Configuring the language for displaying the backup-archive client GUI

You can select the language to use for displaying the backup-archive client GUI.

About this task

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.

Procedure

Use one of the following methods to configure the language for displaying by the backup-archive client GUI:

Add the language language option to the client options file (dsm.opt).
For example, to set the display language to US English, add the following statement:
```

1. In the main window of the backup-archive client GUI, click Edit > Client Preferences.
