A Domino language pack contains translated versions of Domino templates and specific core binary files.

Before you begin

Before you complete this procedure, you must install the English version of the Domino server that matches your language pack version. You can't install the Domino server and the language packs at the same time.

About this task

A Domino language pack includes the translated versions of standard Domino templates, such as the Discussion and Mail templates, and specific binary files required by the server. The language pack installer allows you to do one of the following:

• Add translated versions of files to an English Domino to make it a multilingual server.
• Replace the English versions of files with those of one translated language. In this case, the installed language replaces English as the primary language on the server.
• Remove translated versions of files from a multilingual Domino server.

Currently, you must install each language pack separately. You cannot customize installation to install multiple languages packs at once.

Procedure

1. Download the Domino Language Pack from the HCL https://hclsoftware.flexnetoperations.com/flexnet/operationsportal/logon.do?logoff=true site. The versions of the language pack and the Domino server must match. For example, if Domino 11.0 is installed, you need to download and install Domino Language Pack 11.0.

2. Extract the tar file to a local directory.

3. Shut down the Domino Server. The language pack installer cannot install files while the Domino server is running.

4. Run the executable that corresponds to the desired launcher on your platform.

Note: On Linux and AIX, log on as the UNIX root user to install the language pack.

Table 1. Language pack installation executables

Launcher	Executable
Windows Launcher (GUI or silent mode)	WINDomLP.exe
IBM i remote Launcher for Windows	iSeriesDomLP.bat Note: Must be run from a 64-bit Windows machine.
Linux Launcher (Console or silent mode)	LNXDomLP
AIX Launcher (Console or silent mode)	AIXDomLP




If you are doing a GUI or console installation, you are prompted to complete the following steps. For silent installs, the steps occur automatically based on the LPSilent.inifile configuration.

6. Accept the license agreement.

7. Select the Domino program directory in which to install the language pack.

8. Confirm that the Domino server program and data directories are correct.

Note: On a partitioned server, select all the data directories so that language packs are installed consistently on all.

Table 2. Language pack install options

Option	Description
Add Language Pack to Domino Server	Adds specified language components to an English Domino server. Merges translated forms, views, and other design elements into multilingual-compatible English language templates. Installs translated resource files. Installs translated help files, when available. For other components, English Domino server files are used. For example, templates that are not multilingual-compatible such as the Domino directory template (pubnames.ntf), remain in English.
Replace Language Pack	Replaces English language files with those of one specified language. Choose this option to make a non-English language the primary language supported on a server. Note: You must choose this option to see the Domino directory in a language other than English.
Remove Language Pack from Domino Server	Removes specified language packs from the Domino server that were previously added through the Add option. Note: You can't use this option remove the primary language of the server. To remove the primary language, reinstall Domino.

• If validation is successful, you see a confirmation screen. Click Next to continue.
• If validation fails, the installer reports errors to a log file, LPlog.txt, and also to the GUI or console. For more information about the log file and troubleshooting errors, see Troubleshooting the language pack installation.

Table 3. Language pack installation steps

Option selected previously	Steps
Add Language Pack to Domino Server	Select the language or languages to install from the list that is displayed. For each language, you can use the Select files option to choose which templates and files to install. For example, you can choose to install Mailx.ntf only.
Replace Language Pack	Select one language from the list that is displayed to install it as the primary language on the server. This option overwrites the current primary language on the server, typically English, with the files for the selected language.
Remove Language Pack from Domino Server	Select language packs to remove that were added previously.

Installing Domino language packs silently
To install language packs silently, the language pack installer refers to the fileLPSilent.ini for the install parameters that you otherwise provide through prompts during a GUI or console install.

Troubleshooting language pack installation
Before installing language packs, the language pack installer performs checks to verify that requirements are met for language pack installation.

Upgrading servers and language packs
When upgrading to a new release, upgrade servers and the language packs at the same time. The Domino and language pack versions should be the same.

Enabling languages in databases
After installing language packs on a Domino server, replace the design of databases with the installed translated templates to enable the languages to be displayed in the databases.
