Localize the AnyConnect Client GUI

[Patrick Tran]

Hello,

When I install Anyconnect using msi file, the GUI language is english.

I want to translate on client computers because we are using an enterprise deployment software.

A chapter in Anyconnect guide is dedicated to this issue: Cisco Guide

Unfortunately, the folder where I have to place the translated file does not exist.

The folders "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client" (Win XP) and "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client" (Win 7) exist but their subfolder "l10n" does not...

Must I create the folder tree?

Thanks,

Patrick

I found the solution

1. Export AnyConnect Template in "Language Localization" part (put .po extension)

2. Open it with Gettext

3. Translate messages you want (there are a lot ^^)

4. Save it (you may have errors if you don't change informations in setup)

5. In the folder where you have .po file, a .mo have been created. Rename it AnyConnect.mo and copy this file on the client computer

Windows XP:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\l10n\\LC_MESSAGES

Windows 7:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\l10n\\LC_MESSAGES

Create the folder if needed

It should work
