Problem with Domino Language Packs

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

We have the following server setup:

  • Plain english Domino 8.5.1 installation

  • Installed “Dutch” language pack (LPI)

  • Installed "French language pack (LPI)

Our mail8 template has now english, dutch, and french versions of each design element (which seems correct to me).

Now, the issue:

Whenever I create a new user (either via Domino administrator, or via NotesRegistration class), it ALWAYS creates an english-only mailfile.

I can understand that the resulting mailfile should only contain one language (otherwise, the design would be 90MB or so), but there must a way to specify which language the mailfile should be, right?

I tried those 3 ways to create a user:

  • Domino Administrator (mailfile created immediately)

  • Domino Administrator (mailfile created via adminp)

  • NotesRegistration class in LotusScript (mailfile created via adminp)

All three scenarios give me an english mailfile for the user. What should I do let it create a dutch or french mailfile?

Subject: Use preferred language

My understanding is that you can specify preferred language template if you use “Preferred language” settings when registering users.

Subject: thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. It does seem to work in Notes Administrator, but I can’t find a similar property in the NotesRegistration class. Which is what I need, since we are working on a database that creates users automatically, and we work in a bilingual environment.

Greetings,
