Self service portal

The Nortel SNAS self-service portal provides a web-based ‘help desk’ for
users to collect information about their network connection, compliance,
user status, and also for provisioning a guest access for users. This can
be customized by using localized language files. The Nortel Health Agent
runs on non-English versions of the operating systems.

“Language localization” (page 233)

Language localization

The default English-language dictionary file

contains entries for the text for tab names, general text, messages,
buttons, and field labels on the portal page. The entries in the dictionary
file can be translated into another language. You can then set the portal to
display the translated text.

The languages supported by the Nortel SNAS are configured for the
system, but the language selected for the portal is a domain parameter.

The Nortel SNAS uses ISO 639 language codes to track languages that
have been added to the configuration. English (en) is the predefined
language and is always present.

To change the language displayed for tab names, general text, messages,
buttons, and field labels on the portal page, do the following:
