Use the Edit Preferred Locale page to select the UI preferred language

The Identity Manager User Application pages are displayed in one or more preferred languages (locales) according to these rules:

  1. The User Application uses locales defined in the User Application, according to the order in the preferred-locale list.

  2. If no preferred locale is defined for the User Application, the User Application uses the preferred browser languages in the order listed.

  3. If no preferred locale is defined for the User Application or the browser, the User Application default is used.

5.6.1 Defining a Preferred Language in the Browser

In Firefox*, add languages through Tools > General > Languages > Languages. Place your preferred language at the top of the list. In Internet Explorer, set language through View > Encoding.
