Directly in the URL

If you accessed the AODocs interface via a bookmark or a shared link, it is displayed in the language defined when the bookmark was saved or the link was shared. You can change the language of the AODocs interface by changing the locale directly in the URL.

1. Identify the current locale in the URL displayed in your browser.

In the example below the locale is en_US, which means that the AODocs interface is currently set to US English.

2. Change the locale setting to the required language:

  • UK English: en_GB
  • US English: en_US
  • French: fr_FR
  • Spanish: es_AR
  • Italian: it_IT
  • Portuguese: pt_BR
  • Japanese: ja_JP
  • German: de_GE

Important: Make sure you leave locale= and change only the language setting.

In the example below the locale has been changed to ja_JP which means that the AODocs interface is now in Japanese.
