For better readability, the phone can display the English fonts in a bigger font-size. For information on how to administer this feature, see Setting a larger display font size. The downloadable language files contain all the information required for the phone to present the language as part of the user interface.
Use the configuration file (46xxsettings.txt) and the following parameters to customize the settings for up to four languages
Use 46xxsettings.txt file to customize the language of the phone.
-
SYSTEM_LANGUAGE- Contains the name of the default system language file used in the phone. The file name must be one of the files listed in the LANGUAGES parameter. If no file name is specified, or if the file name does not match with one of the LANGUAGES values, the phone uses its built-in English text strings. File name must end in .xml
-

File names must end in .xml. For example, to indicate that and Russian, Parisian French, Latin American Spanish, and Korean are the available languages, the setting is SET LANGUAGES Mlf_Russian.xml,Mlf_ParisianFrench.xml,Mlf_LatinAmericanSpanish.xml,Mlf_Korean.xml

LANG0STAT- Allows the user to select the built-in English language when other languages are downloaded. If LANG0STAT is "0" and at least one language is downloaded, the user cannot select the built-in English language. If LANG0STAT is "1" (the default) the user can select the built-in English language text strings.
Note:
Specifying a language other than English in the configuration file has no impact on Avaya Communication Manager settings, values, or text strings.
