Using language packs

Language packs enable you to easily switch the iLO web interface from English to a supported
language of your choice. Language packs currently provide translations for the iLO web interface,
.NET IRC, and Java IRC.

Consider the following when using language packs:

You must have the Configure iLO Settings privilege to install a language pack.

You can install one additional language pack at a time. Uploading a new language pack
replaces the currently installed language pack, regardless of the language pack version.

The language pack firmware is independent of the iLO firmware. Setting iLO to the factory
default settings does not remove an installed language pack.

The Java IRC and .NET IRC use the language of the current iLO session.

For localization support with the Java IRC on Windows systems, you must select the correct
language in the Regional and Language Options Control Panel.

For localization support with the Java IRC on Linux systems, make sure that the fonts for the
specified language are installed and available to the JRE.

If an installed language pack does not include the translation for a text string, the text is
displayed in English.

When you update the iLO firmware, HP recommends downloading the latest language pack
to ensure that the language pack contents match the iLO web interface.

iLO 4 firmware version 1.20 or later requires version 1.20 or later of the iLO language pack.

iLO uses the following process to determine the language of your session:
1.

If you previously logged in to the iLO web interface on the same computer using the same
browser, and you have not cleared the cookies, the language setting of the last session
with that iLO processor is used.

2.

If there is no cookie, the current browser language is used if it is supported by iLO and
the required language pack is installed. The supported languages are English (en),
Japanese (ja), and Simplified Chinese (zh).

3.

Internet Explorer only: If the browser language is not supported, the OS language is used
if the language is supported by iLO, and the required language pack is installed.

4.

If there is no cookie, and the browser or OS language is not supported, iLO uses the
configured default language. For more information, see

“Configuring the default language

settings” (page 42)
