IP Phone Administrator Guide

The IP phones support several different languages. You can have the IP phone UI 
and the Aastra Web UI display in a specific language as required. When you set 
the language to use, all of the display screens (menus, services, options, 
configuration parameters, etc.) display in that language. The IP phones support 
the following languages:

•

English (default)

•

French

•

Spanish

•

German (not applicable to 57i CT cordless handset)

•

Italian (not applicable to 57i CT cordless handset)

You make languages available to use on the phone by loading language packs 
from the configuration server to the local <mac>.cfg configuration file. You can 
use the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI to perform the download. Each 
language pack consists of the IP Phone UI and Aastra Web UI translated in a 
specific language. 

Using the configuration files, you specify a language pack to load in the following 
format:

lang_<ISO 639>-<ISO 3166>.txt
or
lang_<ISO 639>.txt

where <ISO 639> is the language code specified in Standard ISO 639
(see Appendix A, the section, 

 on 

) and <ISO 3166> is the country code specified in Standard ISO 3166 

(see 

 on 

). 

The <ISO 3166> attribute is optional.

Adding/changing language packs can only be done at bootup of the 

IP phone. The default language (English) cannot be changed or removed.
