Is it possible to change the language for the NX documentation, when more languages are installed, other than changing the Language settings in the Browser? For example put the language in the URL.
Solution
Normally, by default the language displayed for the documentation is set by the language preferences of the browser. So if the default language is English, the English help is shown. If you change the browser settings to German (and German documentation is installed), the German help is shown.
You can also control it by changing the URL of the documentation:
This is possible starting from the SPLM Documentation Server 2.1.
This or newer versions that is currently available on our Download website.
https://download.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/ --> Siemens PLM Documentation server --> Full Products --> ...
When you do have the right version, in order to use this option: To open a page to a specific language you can add the language to the URL using the following format:
http://<server>:8282/tdoc/[language]/[product]/[version]/[deliverable]/
(Old Doc servers might use the port 8181 instead of the new default 8282)
For example:
http://DocServer01:8282/tdoc/de_DE/nx/1847/nx_help/Or
https://docs.plm.automation.siemens.com/tdoc/ja_JP/nx/10.0.3/nx_help/
This is an example from our documentation server on our website, which also works this way.
To see what version of documentation server (Data Services) you are running, Enter this in your browser:
http://<server>:8282/data_services
At the bottom, select "About" to see the Data Services version you are using. (Date services version, is not the same as the SPLM Doc server version)
If the "About" link is not yet available, you have an older version then v3.2, and so this option is not available for you (yet).
The first version that has this ability is Data Services: V4.1.1
