10.3 How do I set my preferred language?</A>
</H2>
<P>
Mailman is multi-lingual, meaning its interface has been translated to many
different languages. Your list administrator can enable various languages for
their use when interacting with Mailman.
(For a complete listing of the languages see
<a class="url" href="http://www.list.org/i18n.html">http://www.list.org/i18n.html</a>.) If your list has other languages
enabled, you may be able to have the web interface, etc. in a language of your
choice.
<P>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
This does NOT necessarily mean that all the posts sent to the list will
be in the language you selected. Only the pre-prepared texts presented by
Mailman will be affected by this setting. Posts are in whatever language the
poster uses.</span>
<P>
Your preferred language is set when you subscribe (see
Section<A HREF="node13.html#sec:subscribe">5.1</A>), and can be changed later if the list supports
more than one language.
<P>
To change your preferred language in Mailman,
<OL>
<LI>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <A HREF="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</A> for
instructions on how to do this.)
</LI>
<LI>Go to the section marked ``What language do you prefer?'' and choose
the appropriate language from the drop-down list. If there is no
drop-down list of languages, the list you are on probably only supports
one language.
</LI>
</OL>
<P>
If your list does not support the language you would prefer to use, you may
contact the list administrator (LISTNAME-owner@DOMAIN) to see if it can be
added, but remember that this may mean some work that the list and/or site
administrator(s) do not have time or the ability to do.
<P>
If your language of choice is not available because no translation
exists for Mailman, please consider volunteering your time as a translator.
For more information you may want to consult the mailman-i18n mailing
list at <a class="url" href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n</a>. The
current status of internationalization efforts is available at
<a class="url" href="http://www.list.org/i18n.html">http://www.list.org/i18n.html</a>.
<P>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
i18n is a common short-hand for ``internationalization'' because the word
starts with an i, ends with an n, and has 18 letters in between. If you mumble
a bit, i18n even sounds a bit like ``internationalization.''</span>
