MOVEit Transfer features multiple languages for web, FTP, and SSH client interfaces, where:

  • Administrators can set the organization's default language.
  • End-users can change the language of preference.
  • Administrators can limit language selection by end users.

End User Language Selection

MOVEit Transfer enables users to select a language before signing on to the web UI. Hyperlinks for each available language display at the bottom of the sign on page (beneath the Help link).

Language links are visible/enabled by default. For example:

When configured, end-users can select their language by way of:

  • When launching the web UI (using either the Pre Sign on Language Select page or language selection link.
  • In the web UI, My Account [ Edit Your Language... ] (opens the Change Language page, when enabled).

Site/Organizational Language Selection

MOVEit Transfer features UI language selection prior to the MOVEit Transfer sign on page.

  • Pre sign on language selection is enabled by default. (Users are permitted to choose a language unless otherwise configured by an administrator.)
  • User language selection is saved locally (as a browser cookie). (Afterwards, users can change display language in My Account [Edit Your Language...])
  • Logged in as a MOVEit Transfer administrator, you can disable end-user language selection to hide Language Selection Links. (SETTINGS > Appearance > International > Interface [Show Pre Sign on Language Select]).
Note: For a list of supported languages, see the MOVEit Transfer Release Note.

Turn off Language Selection (Force Default)

As a MOVEit Transfer admin user you can:

  • Hide language selection. SETTINGS > Appearance > Display - Display Profiles, editing the Guest/Anonymous User Profile, and turning off Account Options | Display language selection.
  • Hide the end user's Change Language... page. SETTINGS > Appearance > Display > Display Profiles, editing the User Profile, and turning off Account Options > Display language selection.
Note: As Guest/Anonymous User covers both Guest Users and other users who have yet to sign on, all three classes of end users are essentially being configured for the Sign on page: Users (including group admins), Temporary Users, and Guest Users.

Note: Unlike the Pre-Signon and Sign On permissions, the "after sign on" permissions can be configured differently for the two applicable user classes within the organization. You can configure them one way for Users (for example, enable language selection) and the other way for Temporary Users (for example, disable language selection).

Coverage

Unlike end users, the administrator class of users - SysAdmins, Admins, and FileAdmins - will only see an English-only interface. (However, administrators arriving at the Sign on page may still be prompted for a choice of languages, especially if signing on from public terminals.)

Although international language support has been extended throughout the MOVEit Transfer product, not all administrative strings have been converted. The administrative interface, specifically administrative templates and the MOVEit Transfer Config and Check utilities, remains largely untranslated.

Some items which have been fully internationalized:

  • Folders and Files
  • Packages
  • New File, New Message and other email Notifications
  • Users (i.e., GroupAdmin components)
  • End User Documentation

Some items which have NOT been fully internationalized:

  • Schemes
  • Organization Settings
  • Administrator Documentation

Sign On Banner and Other Custom Fields

Most MOVEit Transfer settings which support a text phrase can be properly internationalized. To delimit the phrases used for different languages, administrators use an intra-string [Language:XX] tag which indicates which message is for which language, where XX is fr, es, en or any other language code (ISO 639-1) which corresponds to a language MOVEit Transfer supports.

For example, consider the Custom Help Link Name. Today our link name is currently configured to be Progress Software Corporation's Home Page. If we wanted to display a Spanish version, we would enter a value like PSC Home Page[Language:es]PSC Casa Pagina into the Custom Help Link Name field and let the MOVEit Transfer code figure out which message (Progress Software Corporation Home Page or PSC Casa Pagina) to actually use based on the current user's language preference.

International-Ready MOVEit Transfer Settings

The following list briefly covers fields in MOVEit Transfer that are International-Ready because they support the [Language:XX] tags described above. Fields which begin with a name in parentheses are duplicates of another field mentioned elsewhere in this list.

Email Notifications

All of the email notifications that are sent to end users, and most of the ones that go to administrators have been internationalized. The Custom Notification feature allows administrators the ability to edit the content of email notifications to override standard templates. When international language support is enabled, this feature also allows you to create and edit email notifications for each supported language.
