Setting language preferences

Figure 3.11. Setting language preferences


Use the Show splash screen option to enable/disable the splash screen shown after connection to a server application.

Check the Always leave bookmarks window open option if you want to leave the main Administration Console dialog window with the list of bookmarks open whenever connected to a selected server application. This function can be helpful for example when a user connects to various servers.

Note: Both described options are enabled by default.

Language preferences

Go to the Preferred language section to select a language which will be used for the Administration Console as well as for all administration modules.

Use the Primary entry to select a language which will be used. If the definition file of the selected primary language is not available (for example, it is missing or corrupted), the Administration Console tries to open the file which includes definitions for the Alternate language. If neither this file is available, the default language (English) of the Administration Console will be used.

The Automatic option sets language accordingly to the location where the program is used, if a corresponding language definition file is available.

Language definition files

The Administration Console (and the administration modules) includes only English version of the graphical user interface. Other languages must be included in so called definition files.

Location of definition files for individual operating systems is focused in chapter 2  Installation, File Location and Startup. The following files are required for any supported language:

kadmin.<language>.qm — for the main window of the Administration Console

mailadmin<XYY>.<language>.qm — for the Kerio Connect administration module

wradmin<VWW>.<language>.qm — for the Kerio Control administration module (only on Microsoft Windows)

where

  • the expression <XYY> represents major and minor number of version of the Kerio Connect administration module

  • the expression <VWW> represents major and minor number of version of the Kerio Control administration module

  • the <language> item consists of two characters which represent an abbreviation of a particular language (e.g. fr for French, de for German, etc.)

Note: If administration module for only one application has been installed, only language definition files for the Administration Console and for the particular module will be installed.

Example: Kerio Connect 7.0.5 and Kerio Control 7.1.5 have been installed. The kadmin.cs.qm, mailadmin700.cs.qm and wradmin701.cs.qm definition files will be installed for Czech version.
