Chinese Characters in Splunk Web

splunktp — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 07:23:58 GMT

Hi Splunkers,

I have a Splunk Indexer installed on a CentOS box (English language). When I use a workstation that has a different language setting, for example Chinese, the contents of Splunk Web is still showing in English characters.

My question is is there a way for the Splunk Web to display the native language used by the workstation accessing it? For example Splunk Web in Chinese characters.

Thanks in advance.

Splunk web interface language depends on browser's user agent that clieant access with. What is your browswer user agent? I know Japanese browser support Japanese interface. However, except English language is translated after new splunk version is released. I know Chinese version of splunk 4.1 existed before. I am not sure about 4.2. Please try to access splunk web with Chinese browser. Hope this help.

You can try this way to force the Splunk Web to display Chinese:
http://:8000/zh-CN for Simplified Chinese or "zh-TW" for Traditional Chinese
