FortiAnalyzer – FortiOS 6.2.3 – Report languages

Report languages

You can specify the language of reports when creating a report.

Exporting and modifying a language

You can export a language and modify it to create a different language or modify the text in a predefined language.

One way to create a new language is to export a predefined language, modify the text to a different language, save the file as a different language name, and import it back into FortiAnalyzer. The file name must be one of the languages in the Advanced Settings section of the Reports Settings tab > Language dropdown list.

If you want to modify a predefined language, export the predefined language, modify the text, and import it back into FortiAnalyzer.

To export and modify a language:

  1. Go to Reports > Advanced > Language.
  2. Select a language and click Export. The language is exported as a zip file into your default downloads folder.
  3. Extract the zip file and use a text editor to modify it.
  4. Change the text after the equal sign (=) to a different language or text.
  5. Zip the modified file. The file name must be one of the languages in the Advanced Settings section of the Reports Settings tab > Language dropdown list.

The new language file is ready to be imported into FortiAnalyzer.

Importing a language

To import a language:

  1. Go to Reports > Advanced > Language.
  2. Click Import and locate the language file.

The language file must be a zip file with only one language file in it. Both the language file name and zip file name must be one of the language names in the Advanced Settings section of the Reports Settings tab > Language dropdown list.

  1. Import the language zip file.

In Reports > Advanced > Language, you can select this language when you create or run reports.
