Configuring Languages Other Than English

By default, U.S. English is used in all voice prompts, e-mail notifications, end-user web interfaces, and web meeting rooms. To use a different language or enable end users to choose from multiple languages, complete the following tasks:

1. Install the languages.

Languages are automatically installed with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express. To see which languages are installed in a specific release, see the Release Notes for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1. For installation and upgrade information, see the Installation and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express.

2. (For multiple languages only) Purchase, download, and install the language license.

Without the language license, you can enable one language on Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express. With the installed language license, you can enable multiple languages on Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express. See the "About Licenses" section on page 13-8.

3. Enable the languages.

This task is performed in the Usage Configuration page of the Administration Center. See the "Enabling Languages" section.

4. (For multiple languages only) Configure language preferences in the user groups or user profiles.

System administrators may specify a language for specific user groups or user profiles through the Administration Center. See the following sections:

–About Language Preferences, page 6-25

–Configuring Language Preferences in User Groups or User Profiles

Users may override this setting by selecting a language through the end-user web interface or over the phone. See the User Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express.

5. (For the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express service for the Cisco Unified IP Phone only) Install and configure matching languages in Cisco Unified CallManager for the Cisco Unified IP Phones. See the "About Language Requirements for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Service for the Cisco Unified IP Phone" section on page 5-9.

About Meeting Phone Numbers and Notification Labels

You can configure up to four phone numbers and descriptive labels for users to dial in to voice meetings. These phone numbers and labels appear in the following places:

•Web interface for end users

•Telephone pop-up notification box in the full web meeting room

•Cisco Unified IP Phone screens (only when subscribed to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express service for the Cisco Unified IP Phone)

•Configuring Meeting Phone Numbers and Notification Labels

About the Character Limitation of the Telephone Pop-Up Notification Box in the Full Web Meeting Room

The telephone pop-up notification box in the full web meeting room is limited in the total number of characters it can display. Because this limitation applies also to characters that you do not enter (such as the meeting ID, HMTL tags, spaces, and punctuations), the maximum number of characters varies for each meeting.

We recommend that you minimize the number of characters entered in the label fields to avoid the character limitation. If you exceed the maximum number of characters, then the information displayed in the telephone pop-up notification box is automatically modified in the following ways, in the presented order, until the number of characters falls below the maximum:

1. The headings in the pop-up notification box are deleted, for example "Dial in from your phone."

2. Bold characters are changed to normal characters.

3. The text in the Label for access phone number 3 field is changed to "Or: ".

4. The text in the Label for access phone number 4 field is changed to "Or: ".

To verify that the phone numbers and labels correctly appear in the telephone pop-up notification box in the full web meeting room, take the following actions:

1. Schedule a web and voice meeting using a 17-digit meeting ID (maximum allowed).

2. Join the full web meeting.

3. In the top right corner of the full web meeting room, roll your mouse pointer over the telephone icon to display the pop-up notification box content.

If you are not satisfied with the appearance of the meeting phone numbers and notification labels, then reduce the number of characters in the notification labels.
