Programming the System Language Mode and System Language

The System Language is the language callers hear. It can be set to one of three languages: U.S. English, Latin American Spanish, or Canadian French. The System Language Mode can be set to Monolingual or Bilingual. When the System Language Mode is set to Monolingual, callers hear system prompts in one of the three languages (the language that is programmed as the System Language). When the System Language Mode is set to Bilingual, callers hear system prompts in two of the three languages. The first language the caller hears is the Primary Language. The Secondary Language is the alternate language the caller can hear by pressing (*1). When a system is in Bilingual Mode, the users include instructions in their Personal Greeting for the caller to press (*1) to hear system prompts in the alternate language.

The same System Language Mode and System Language(s) apply to all Automated Attendants. The factory setting is Monolingual Mode, with U.S. English as the System Language. When the System Language Mode is set to Bilingual, the factory-set Primary Language is U.S. English and the factory-set Secondary Language is Latin American Spanish.

System Language is different from the System Administration Prompt Language. The System Administration Prompt Language is the language the System Manager hears when programming the system. In addition, System Language is different from the Mailbox Language that is programmed for each Mailbox extension. The Mailbox Language is the language the users hear after they call in to Voice Mail Service.

Setting the System Language

The factory-set System Language for a new system in Monolingual Mode is U.S. English. If you are programming a new system, follow this procedure if you want to change the System Language to Latin American Spanish or Canadian French. If the Language Mode has been changed to Bilingual, the factory-set Primary Language is U.S. English and the factory-set Secondary Language is Latin American Spanish. Follow this procedure if you want to change the Primary and/or Secondary System Languages from their factory settings.
