Configuring the display language for the ArcGIS Web Adaptor

The Web Adaptor application installed with the ArcGIS Web Adaptor (IIS) setup program supports localization. The ArcGIS Web Adaptor (IIS) setup program includes prelocalized versions of the Web Adaptor for several languages. These prelocalized languages are:

• Arabic
• Chinese
• French
• German
• Italian
• Japanese
• Portuguese
• Russian
• Spanish

Once the ArcGIS Web Adaptor (IIS) setup program completes, the Web Adaptor application automatically opens. If your browser is already configured to display one of the above languages, the Web Adaptor application automatically opens in that language.

Note:

Additional steps are not necessary for configuring Arabic.

To display the Web Adaptor in a different language, configure your browser or system as described below.

Firefox users

Localized versions of Firefox 3.6 and higher are available. Installing a localized version of Firefox and opening the Web Adaptor will automatically display Manager in the browser language.

1. Choose Tools > Options.
2. On the Content tab, under Languages, click Choose.
