Loading Language Packs via the Configuration File (<mac>.cfg)
Using the configuration files, you specify a language pack to load in the following format:
lang_<ISO 639>_<ISO 3166>.txt
or
lang_<ISO 639>.txt
where <ISO 639> is the language code specified in Standard ISO 639
(see Appendix A, the section, Language Codes (from Standard ISO 639) on page A-137) and <ISO 3166> is the country
code specified in Standard ISO 3166 (see Country Codes (from Standard ISO 3166) on page A-138). The <ISO 3166>
attribute is optional.
Example
The following is an example of the parameters you would enter in the <MAC>.cfg file to load a French, Italian, German, and
Spanish language pack to the IP phone.
language 1: lang_fr_ca.txt
language 2: lang_it.txt
language 3: lang_de.txt
language 4: lang_es.txt
The above entries in the <MAC>.cfg file tells the phone which language packs to load. When the language pack(s) have
loaded, you must then use the configuration files IP Phone UI to specify which language to display on the IP phone. You
must use the Aastra Web UI to specify the language to use in the Web UI.
