Dashboards language

WebSphere Portal determines the displayed language of the Dashboards views (portlets). The WebSphere Portal performs a search process when you log in to WebSphere Business Monitor to determine the language of the content to be displayed on your machine.

The preferred language in your WebSphere Portal user profile, the preferred language defined in the browser, and the WebSphere Portal default language should all be the same as the language of the Monitor Server component and the Dashboards component. In other words, the languages (locales) must be the same for the following items:
  • Monitor Server component language
  • Dashboards component language
  • Default WebSphere Portal language defined in the Portal Global Settings.
  • End-user language defined in the user profile/user browser.
  1. If you specify a preferred language in your portal user profile, the WebSphere Portal displays the Dashboards according to the selected language.
  2. If you do not specify a preferred language, the WebSphere Portal searches for the language defined in your browser. If the WebSphere Portal supports this language, it displays the content accordingly. If the browser has more than one language defined, the WebSphere Portal uses the first language in the list to display the content.
  3. If there is no preferred language defined in the browser; for example if the used browser does not send a language, the WebSphere Portal resorts to its own default language. The Portal default language is specified during installation of the Portal. After the installation you can change this default language. To do this, use the Global Settings portlet. Select Administration > Portal settings > Global settings. From the drop-down list, select the desired default language for the portal.
    Note: You must restart the WebSphere Portal after you change the language.
  4. If you have a portlet that does not support the language that was determined by the previous steps, that portlet is shown in its own default language.
