Model: data/LanguageDefault

Localization Language

A default language can be set at any hierarchy node. Users and local administrators will inherit the default language from the nearest hierarchy node in the hierarchy tree that has a default language set. If no default language is specified, English is used. The default language can be overridden for an individual user or local administrator under User Management.

Procedure

  1. Log in as provider, reseller, customer, or site administrator.
  2. Set the hierarchy path to point to the node where you want to set a default language.
  3. Choose Hierarchy Management > Localization Language.
  4. Click Add.
  5. From the Language drop-down, choose the default language.
  6. Click Save.

As an example, a provider has not set a default language at the provider level. The provider has a reseller in Germany, so the default language at the reseller is German. But that reseller has a customer in France, so the default language at that customer level is set to French. In addition, the customer in France has a site in Italy, so the default language for that site is set to Italian. In this scenario, users that are not under the reseller has English as their language by default.

The default language that will be selected when a user's language is not specified.
