Troubleshooting
Problem
By default, the language used in the WebSphere Integration Developer user interface and messages is determined by the locale setting on your computer. To use another language then the default one you have to install the national language pack first and override the default language setting.
Symptom
You can pass the language setting as a JVM parameter as described in the following Technote: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21195484
C:\WID620\wid.exe -product com.ibm.wbit.feature.ide -showlocation -vmargs -Duser.language=de
Unfortunately, you may run into a situation that the JVM parameters are not passed correctly to the starting WebSphere Integration Developer and it crashes with an Out Of Memory error:
Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to create a thread: retVal -1073741830, errno 12

Resolving The Problem
To avoid such a situation use following alternate ways to change the language settings in WebSphere Integration Developer:
1.) Install the national language pack as described in the WebSphere Integration Developer information center
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dmndhelp/v6r2mx/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.wbit.620.help.install.doc/topics/r_quickreference.html
2.) pass the custom language argument to override the default language setting
To change the language in the wid.ini file
a. Close WebSphere Integration Developer
b. Navigate to the wid.ini file located in the WebSphere Integration Developer installation directory. For
example, if you installed the files in your Program Files directory, the eclipse.ini file resides in the
C:\Program Files\IBM\WID62 directory.
c. Make a backup of the wid.ini file.
d. Open the wid.ini file in a text editor.
e. After the last line, add the -nl parameter followed by a five-digit language code for the language that
you want to set. For example, to set German, add the following on the first line:
-nl de_DE
f. Start WebSphere Integration Developer.
Alternatively, to change the language using the shortcut properties
a. Close WebSphere Integration Developer.
b. Right-click the IBM WebSphere Integration Developer icon on your desktop or from the START menu.
c. From the context menu, select Properties. The Properties dialog box opens.
d. In the Target field, add the -nl parameter and a five-digit language code (for example, -nl de_DE) at the
end of the string.
e. Start WebSphere Integration Developer.
