This topic describes how Build Forge configures language settings
for the Management Console, agent, and engine components.
Management Console language settings
The
language setting for the current user determines the language used
to display interface controls in the Management Console.
Set
the Management Console language setting for a user account as follows:
- Root user
- The installation program creates a root user account that the
administrator uses to log in to the console the first time.
- On initial log in, the language setting for the root user is based
on the operating system language for the Build Forge engine host.
- Language default for other users
- For administrator-created user accounts, the default console language
is initially set using the language preference of the Web browser
that the user logs in on. (This is a configuration setting of the
Web browser, not Build Forge.)
- If the administrator does not change the language preference for
the user, it is inherited from the Web browser.
- If the administrator wants to change the language for the user
, complete this procedure. In the UI, click Administration > Users
> Language, and then select a language.
- LDAP-created user accounts always use the language preference
that is configured for the Web browser.
- Changing the default user language
- After logging in to the console, the administrator can select
a different language setting for individual Build Forge users by selecting Administration
> Users > Language from the left navigation panel of Build Forge
window.
- If language preferences for users are configured in this way,
the Management Console displays interface controls in the language
selected for the user regardless of the language configured for the
Web browser.
Agent and Build Forge engine language settings
The
operating system language of the Build Forge engine host dictates:
Regardless of whether the language is set for the Management
Console language is set in a Web browser or as a Build Forge 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, ensure that the language
selected for the Management Console matches the language used by the
Build Forge engine host.
Language setup
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, use the
same language for the Web browser, the operating system on the Management
console host, and the Build Forge user.
