Locale settings

Locale settings identify the language that is used for interfaces, messages, and online help.

Data Protection for VMware GUIs

The phrase "Data Protection for VMware GUI" applies to the following GUIs:
  • Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI accessed in a web browser
  • IBM Spectrum Protect™ vSphere Client plug-in in the vSphere Web Client GUI

The Data Protection for VMware GUIs do not support running in an environment that contains inconsistent locale settings among the processors that run the Data Protection for VMware GUI, the VMware vSphere Client, and the IBM Spectrum Protect server.

Specify the same locale settings among the systems that run the Data Protection for VMware GUI, the VMware vSphere Client, and the IBM Spectrum Protect server.

When a Data Protection for VMware GUI help page is accessed through the "Learn more" link for the first time, the help displays in the language that is specified by the locale setting of the system that runs the Data Protection for VMware GUI. The help does not display in the language that is specified by the locale of the VMware vSphere Client the first time the help is accessed. In this situation, after the Data Protection for VMware GUI help page displays, click at least two links within the help, then close the help. The next time that the help is started from the "Learn more" link, it displays in the language that is specified by the locale setting of the VMware vSphere Client.

IBM Spectrum Protect file restore interface

The interface content and message prompt language is determined by the language setting of the web browser that accesses the IBM Spectrum Protect file restore interface.

For error messages that are logged to the fr_api.log file, the IBM Spectrum Protect file restore interface uses the language that is specified by the locale setting of the system that runs the Data Protection for VMware vSphere GUI.
