The BSCW interface language is a personal, user-defined option. It only affects your view of the information presented. You may select a different language for the user interface at any time by adjusting your preferred language in your browser

e.g. in Microsoft Internet Explorer: select  Tools    Internet Options...    Languages...  

and than select your preferred language. In case the shown selection does not contain your preferred language use the "Add" button to select another language. Move it to the top of the list by using the "Move Up" or the "Move Down" button for your selected language.

When you log into a BSCW server, BSCW will display your folder page (see chapter 3). In this page -- and throughout the Web-based user interface -- BSCW will consistently display text and buttons in one of the languages installed on the server you use.

If you prefer a different language over the one initially displayed by BSCW in your folder page, you should change the interface language in your browser right befor you begin your work with this BSCW server.

If you choose German, the online help is in German, too. At the moment, all other languages are combined with an online help in English.

Before you now start to use BSCW, it is a good idea to fill in your personal info page (see section 2.4).
