About the Available Languages and Cultures

Ivanti Service Manager provides a full translation for some languages and supports several other languages. Support means that you can add the language to Ivanti Service Manager but you must use the translation tools to provide the translations for your language.

A culture comprises the language, number formats, currency symbols, and country specific settings. For Ivanti Service Manager, the words culture and language are used interchangeably.

The format for the culture name is the two-letter language code in lower case and the two-letter subculture code in upper case. Examples include ja-JP for Japanese (Japan) and en-US for English (United States). In cases where a two-letter language code is not available, a three-letter code derived from ISO 639-2 is used.

The system automatically checks Enabled for the new language and culture, which enables the new language and culture for all roles.

Adding a Language and Culture Without Translations

Many more cultures are supported in Ivanti Service Manager than have been translated. See Supported Languages and Cultures Without Translations. If you choose one of the supported languages and cultures without translations, you must supply the translation.

This export and import process only provides translations for metadata. It does not provide translations for resource files. Also, this process does not include validation list data, roles, desktops, and dashboard charts.

1.From the Configuration Console, click Configure > Organizational Profile > Languages to open the Languages workspace. The Languages workspace appears with a list of default languages (culture names).

2.Click Add new.... The system displays the list of additional languages and cultures.

Adding a New Language and Culture

This process takes a few minutes. When the system finishes adding the language and culture, it displays a Success dialog box.

4.Click OK.

5.Return to the Languages workspace and under Export All, click Export.

The system creates a spreadsheet. Depending on your browser configuration, the system saves the spreadsheet in the default download folder or in a folder that you specify.

The spreadsheet file name includes the name of the target language. For example, the name might be Translation (All) of Greek (Greece),xlsx

Example of a Translation Spreadsheet.
