Add a new language to inotes

Hello everybody

I need to add a new language to the iNotes interface. I followed the steps contained in the article “Adding a new language to iNotes 8.5” for reproduce the issue. The URL of this article is

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/adding-a-new-language-to-inotes-8.5

The iNotes 8.5 contains all supported languages, I only must change the preferred language in the browser.

For add a new language, I must modify the file “iNotes/Forms85.nsf” within the directory Data in the server, but I create a copy of this file for test the issue named “iNotes/UMForms85.nsf”. The article explains that I must to follow the next steps:

  • Open the forms file in Designer and export the file “Shared Resources/Files/dwa_es.properties” to a local directory and modify its content.

  • Save in local the modified file as “dwa_XX.properties”, where the caracters “XX” are the character code of your language(in my case the file is dwa_gl.properties, because I need to add the Galician language that it is a region language from Spain).

In the IE I have the language code “Gallego [gl]” and in the Mozilla I have “Gallego [gl]” in the top of the languages list.

  • In the forms file, create a new resource in the option “Shared Resources/Files/New File Resource” and select the modified file “dwa_gl.properties”.

  • Restart the Domino server for see the options int he new language.

I reproduce all this steps, but it didn´t show the options in the new language, it shows the next language options in the list of languages browser.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance,

María

“I reproduce all this steps, but it didn´t show the options in the new language, it shows the next language options in the list of languages browser.”

Do you mean that is shows strings for the second language in the browser list of preferred languages?

You would need to restart the Domino server after you have added a language, since the languages are only read once upon initialization.

Hello Jack

Yes the strings are in the second language in the browser list of preferred languages.

I restarted the Domino server and the issue didn´t worked. Sorry, I forgot to describe it in the previous comment.

I don´t know what I can do more.

Kind regards,

  María.
