Configuring the IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop to display in a different language
The IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop can be displayed in English, French, German, and Japanese.
The interface integrates three parts: Eclipse, IXIASOFT CCMS, and an XML editor. For the interface to appear in a language other than English, each part must support the desired language and must be configured to appear in that language.
- For the Eclipse interface to appear in the language, the Eclipse SDK must be updated with the required Eclipse Babel Language Pack, which is available from the IXIASOFT download site.
- IXIASOFT CCMS includes the English, French, German, and Japanese versions of the labels and commands, which are enabled when you launch the IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop in the desired locale.
- The XML editor must be configured to display in the desired language.
To display interface in a different language:
-
Extract the .zip file to dropins folder where you installed the IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop. Make sure that the language pack is extracted into the
dropins folder as a subfolder labeled with
the filename, which contains the features
and plugins subfolders as shown in the
following example.
For example: C:\eclipses\prod\dropins\BabelLanguagePack-eclipse-fr_4.3.0.v20151128095134
