Localization Procedure for Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server Release 5.2 and Release 5.3
OL-6854-01
Configuration Precedence Examples
The following example shows how the Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server system determines which
language a caller hears when entering a meeting:
System Configurations
The default language is U.S. English.
Ports are configured for Japanese.
A U.S. English user has a profile that is set to use U.S. English.
A meeting is scheduled by a Canadian French user who has set the meeting default language to
French.
System Behavior
1. When the U.S. English user calls to attend the scheduled meeting, the prompts play first in Japanese.
2. The caller then hears the prompt “To select English, press 5” in U.S. English and the prompt “To
select French, press 6” in Canadian French.
3. The caller enters the profile ID, and the prompt language immediately changes to U.S. English.
4. The caller enters the meeting ID and continues to hear U.S. English prompts until joining the
meeting.
5. While the caller is in the meeting, prompts play to all meeting participants in Canadian French;
however, prompts play only to this caller—when the caller presses the # key, for example—in U.S.
English.
Language Preferences
Within the configuration precedence, the following types of language preferences affect which
languages callers hear and when they hear them:

Examples of Language Preferences, page 4
Port-Group Level Language Preferences
U.S. English is the default language and is considered an installed language.
If you do not configure the port group to use a specific language, U.S. English plays.
If you install UK English, the Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server system does not offer U.S. English.
For example, if you install a total of three languages (U.S. English, UK English, and Japanese)
and you configure the ports to play Japanese, the welcome prompt offers only UK English and
Japanese.
