Configuring logins for a specific locale

About this task

If your user community is multilingual, IBM® recommends displaying the login page in all languages. This enables the user to select the appropriate language from the Sign In screen.

To display an internationalized Sign In screen:

Procedure

  1. Create a corporate HTML page that contains hyperlinks corresponding to each language that you want to display.
  2. For each hyperlink, insert the <a href> tag to link to the locale-specific page using the following syntax:
    /smcfs/console/start.jsp?LocaleCode=locale_code 

    The locale_code value must match the entry specified in the Locale Code field in the Applications Manager.

    For example, if you want to open the Sign In screen in Canadian French, use the following syntax:

    /smcfs/console/start.jsp?LocaleCode=fr_CA

    This displays the Sign In screen in the specified locale. After you log in, the application opens in the user's default locale.
