Procedure
Notes multi-user installation with the MUI pack
About this task
For a multi-user install, the Notes user interface files are installed in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\IBM\Notes\MUI\language-iso (*)
On Windows XP, the Notes templates and help files are installed in the following subdirectory:
C:\Document Setting\All Users\Application Data\Data\Shared\mui\language-iso (*)
On Windows Vista, the Notes templates and help files are installed in the following subdirectory:
C:\ProgramData\Notes\Data\Shared\mui\language-iso (*)
language-iso (*)
represents a language
identifier. Language identifiers are Arabic (ar), Brazilian Portuguese
(pt-BR), Catalan (ca), Czech (cs), Danish (da), Dutch (nl), Finnish
(fi), French (fr), German (de), Greek (el), Hebrew (he), Hungarian
(hu), IB Portuguese (pt-PT), IB Portuguese (pt-PT), Italian (it),
Japanese (ja), Korean (ko), Norwegian (no), Polish (pl), Russian (ru),
Simplified Chinese (zh-CN), Slovakian (sk), Slovenian (sl), Spanish
(es), Swedish (sv), Thai (th), Traditional Chinese (zh-TW), Turkish
(tr).When a user starts the Notes client for the first time, the user interface and database language are determined by the user's operating system locale setting. If the locale language is not found in the directory \mui, the English user interface is used and English databases are created to set up the Notes client. If the locale language files of the Notes client have not been installed, the user interface language of the Notes setup and local databases defaults to English.
For example, in a multi-user installation, if you add French and Japanese files with a MUI pack, the user interface files are installed in individual directories such as these:
C:\Program Files\IBM\Notes\MUI\fr
C:\Program Files\IBM\Notes\MUI\ja
For a Windows XP installation, the templates and help files are installed in the next directory, as shown
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Local Settings\Application Data\Notes\Shared\mui\fr
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Local Settings\Application Data\Notes\Shared\mui\ja
