    Hi,

    The application (default) language is a setting in the configuration file. More information in

    The language can also be changed on each user account created in the application. See menu "Amin tools/User accounts".

    Regards,
    Romain

    Thanks for the quick answer but what would be the string for spanish, I tried 'ES SP', ONLY 'ES', ONLY 'SP', also 'ES CR'

    Can't edit :) . Ok now I understand 'ES CR' was the correct string but since I'm logged as admin when i changed the string in the config file i didn't see any change bcs itop is still using the admin's default language that was setted in english at installation, so I guess now I just need to find that record in the database to change it

    Hi heloz1,

    The default_language setting in the config-itop.php file is actually used for two things:

    - Displaying the login/logout pages
    - Proposing a default value when creating a new user

    Everywhere else the per-user "language" setting of the user record is used. So if you (as an admin) want to see iTop in Spanish, go to Admin Tools / User and just edit your own user record to change the language. After you apply it, click again on another page in iTop (for example go back to 'Welcome") to see it change to Spanish.

    thanks, what I finally did was to manually change with mysql the 'language' field in the user table :)
