To configure your browser's language

To enable GroupWise* WebAccess to display information in the language you expect, you need to:

• Set your browser's language to match the language in which you normally receive mail messages and in which the documents you want to view are written.
• Set your browser's encoding to match the browser's language.

Setting Your Browser's Language

When you log in to WebAccess, WebAccess records your browser's language setting. While in WebAccess, whenever you perform an action that sends a request to the web server, the request includes the browser's language setting. The WebAccess/WebPublisher Agent uses this language to determine the character-set encoding to apply to the information before it returns the information to your browser.

To enable the WebAccess/WebPublisher Agent to apply the correct character-set encoding for your browser's language, you need to make sure your browser's language setting matches the language in which you normally receive mail messages and in which the documents you want to view are written.

Setting Your Browser's Encoding

When your browser receives encoded information from the WebAccess/WebPublisher Agent, it uses the currently selected character-set encoding to display the information. For this reason, you need to make sure that you've selected the correct character-set encoding for your browser's language.
