Show the ESS in a Different Language

Echo360 supports the EchoSystem in six languages:

  • English (U.S. English and British English)
  • French
  • Spanish
  • German
  • Arabic
  • Japanese

This means that you can change the language setting in your browser and the following components will be displayed in the chosen language. The screenshots show a page of each component in Japanese. Notice that some items in the interface (such as the Echo names) are not localized.

  • The EchoSystem Server (ESS)

    ESS page in Japanese as described

  • The EchoPlayer

  • The EchoCenter

If you want to display these components in a language not listed above, you can:

  • Contact the reseller for your region. Some resellers have translated the component user interface already.
  • Translate the user interface for the component yourself, following the technique described in /wiki/spaces/55/pages/590184652.
     

Show the ESS in British English

You can change the language setting in your browser to British English (en-gb). The term "section" will be localized to "module" the term typically used in Great Britain. For example, buttons labeled section when displayed in U.S. English will be labeled module when displayed in British English, as shown below.

button is labeled module not section

See Change the Language Setting in Your Browser for instructions.

Only the en-us and en-gb Settings Are Supported

Although your browser may support Australian English (en-au), Canadian English (en-ca) and other dialects of English, the ESS supports only U.S. English (en-us) and British English (en-gb). If you specify another dialect of English, the ESS displays U.S. English (en-us).

Change the Language Setting in Your Browser

Browsers are updated frequently. This Echo was accurate as of December 2011.

The Echo below explains how to change the language setting for two commonly used browsers, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
