Problem with Lotus Notes on Citrix international config

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hello,

I’ve got a problem with an install of french Lotus Notes clients on a Citrix Metaframe XP server: the client has got some of the menus in english and some of them in french. I’ve read that this should be corrected with a Notes.ini variable (UserInterface=fr) but here what I get in such a situation:

“Invalid language specified for the UserInterface proceeding with the default installed language.”

No need to say it works correctly on a non-Citric workstation!

Thanks in advance for any help.

I recreated your problem and found a solution :

A. I installed a terminal server

  • installed citrix server

  • installed domino and Notes english on it

=> it worked fine in and outside the Citrix client

B. - I installed the dutch client on it ( language pack )

=> the client was still in English

  • added the Dutch locales in the Regional setting in control panel

=> Notes client was still in english

  • set the default regionales to NL ; restarted pc : still English

  • added the notes.ini parameter “userinterface=NL” to the notes.ini

=> still in english

C. - Installed a domino server and Notes client on a normal win2k pc

=> worked fine in english

  • added the Dutch language pack to it

=> client was in Dutch.

D. - copied the mui.dat from the c:

}Lotus\Notes\mui on the normal good working dutch Notes client on the win2k

pc to the same directory on the terminal server

=> now the client was in Dutch

  • Removing the notes.ini parameter “userinterface=NL” changed the client

back to English -

changing the default Regionales to English did not make a difference :

=> the notes client was still in Dutch

  • removing the Dutch regionales did not make a difference either

Conclusion :

  • the locales are not important

  • the notes ini parameter userinterface is needed in the client Notes.ini

  • the mui.dat file from a Notes client on a non-terminal server machine (

windows 2000 prof, win xp,… ) is needed.

You find it in the c:\Lotus \ Notes \ mui directory of the non-terminal pc

and have to copy it into the c:\Lotus \ Notes \ mui directory of the

terminal server

Thanks for your mail, it helped me a lot: in fact I got two problems, one was the mui file missing, the other one was the user preferences directly in the Notes client. When both were fixed, it workeds like a charm!
