Specifying locale information and console branding

By default, the pages of the Community Console are presented in the English language. IBM provides translations of the content in other languages as a set of files that can be uploaded. Other console items that are provided by IBM for different locales are the banner graphics. Optionally, you can upload your own logo graphics. You can also upload your own custom style sheet used to format the text on the pages.

You perform these tasks using the Locale Upload page. To display the Locale Upload page:

  1. Click Hub Admin > Console Configuration > Locale Configuration.
  2. Click Create.
  3. Select a locale from the Locale list.

The Console displays the Locale Upload page.
