Starting IT Advisor Client in a Different Language

[EcoStruxureIT]

The IT Advisor client is available in eleven languages. By default, the client will launch in the language of the operating system. 

It is possible to start the client in a different language by overriding regional settings. This might be useful if you prefer your OS in one language, but IT Advisor client in another.  However, it is only recommended for bilingual users since some buttons and dialogs, supplied the by operating system, will appear in the language of the operating system. Examples are calendar, color picker and standard buttons.

Mac OS X

Right-click the IT Advisor application icon and choose Show Package Contents. Locate and open Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini with a text editor. Add new line -Duser.language=[Country Code] anywhere below -vmargs line.

Tip

You can create a copy of IT Advisor application for each language and edit eclipse.ini file in each copy.
