â– The system manager can program specific extensions or consecutive
blocks of extensions in English, French, or Spanish as necessary. In
addition, an individual MLX telephone user can choose the language most
appropriate for his or her own extension.
â– The system manager can program SMDR report headers, the headings,
and text of system programming reports to be printed in English, French, or
Spanish.
â– A user of SPM software can select English, French, or Spanish as the
language for SPM’s displays and messages.
â– MLX-5D, MLX-10D, MLX-16DP, MLX-20L, and MLX-28D display
telephones and MLX-10 and MLX-5 nondisplay telephones can be
obtained with factory-imprinted buttons in English, French, Hungarian, or
Spanish.
System Language 27
Through system programming, the system manager selects a language for the
entire system, determining the language used for all MLX telephone displays,
SMDR headings, system programming reports, and maintenance displays.
Extension Language 27
MLX telephones can operate in English, French, or Spanish, independently of the
system language. The language for an extension is chosen either by the system
manager through system programming or by a user at the extension. This setting
also controls the Reminder and Alarm Clock features on MLX telephones, using a
12-hour clock on telephones operating in English and a 24-hour clock on
telephones operating in French or Spanish.
After the user selects a language, the choice is confirmed on Line 2 of MLX
display telephones. If the choice is English, the display shows the words
In
English
. If the choice is French, the display shows the words
En français
. If the
choice is Spanish, the display shows the words
En español
.
After five seconds, Line 2 changes, displaying the date and time. In English, the
date is shown as
month day
; the time is shown in 12-hour format (a.m. or p.m.). In
French and Spanish, the date is shown as
day month
; the time is shown in
24-hour format. At MLX nondisplay telephones, the only effect of this selection is
a different time format (12-hour clock versus 24-hour clock), required when dialing
times for the Reminder feature.
SMDR Report Language 27
Through system programming, SMDR reports can be printed with headers in
English, French, or Spanish, regardless of the language selected for the system
or for SPM.
