Language Settings for the Management Console and Agent

You launch and run the Management Console application in a Web browser. The language used to display interface controls in the Management Console is set initially from the language preferences configured for the Web browser. (This is a configuration setting of the Web browser, not Build Forge.)

After the administrator logs in to the Management Console, the administrator can select a different language setting for individual Build Forge users (Administration > Users > Language). If language preferences for users are configured in this way, the Management Console displays interface controls in the language configured for the user regardless of the language configured for the Web browser.

The operating system language for the Build Forge engine host dictates:

Regardless of the language setting for the Management Console (either set through the Web browser or as a Build Forge user preference), the agent logs data for system messages and job output in the operating system language of the Build Forge engine host. To avoid mixed languages in the Management Console interface, the language selected for the Management Console must match the language used by the Build Forge engine host.

Note: Build Forge recommends using the same language for the Web browser, the operating system on the Management Console host, and the Build Forge user to ensure that the language displayed in the Management Console matches the language that the agent uses to log data for system messages and job output.
