Information About Localizing Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server Release 5.2 and Release 5.3

Release 5.2 and Release 5.3 support localization in several languages; you can install up to four different languages on the Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server system—the default language, U.S. English—plus three of the following supported languages:

•Canadian French

•Japanese

•UK English

•German

•French

•Portuguese (Brazil)

•Spanish (Americas)

After installing the language, you can configure the port to play voice prompts in any language that you installed.

For information about configuring ports, see the "Managing Ports" section of the Administrator's Guide or System Manager's Guide for your Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server release at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/conf/mtgplace/audio/index.htm

Profiled users can also set language preferences for each meeting and can invoke these preferences by entering their profile ID at the default prompt. To accommodate guest callers, the welcome greeting offers callers a choice to use any one of the installed languages.

For information about profiled users, see the "About Profiles" section of the Administrator's Guide or System Manager's Guide for your Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server release at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/conf/mtgplace/audio/index.htm

The following sections provide information about how the Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server system determines which language prompts to play to callers:

• Configuration Precedence

• Language Preferences

Configuration Precedence

Release 5.2 and Release 5.3 supports the simultaneous use of up to four languages. Because language preferences are specified in user profile settings, in meeting preferences, and in port configurations, the Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server system uses the following configuration precedence to determine which language prompts to play to callers:

1. Meeting preference

2. User Profile setting

3. Port configuration

4. Default (U.S. English)

Configuration Precedence Examples

The following example shows how the Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server system determines which language a caller hears when entering a meeting:

System Configurations

•The default language is U.S. English.

•Ports are configured for Japanese.

•A U.S. English user has a profile that is set to use U.S. English.

•A meeting is scheduled by a Canadian French user who has set the meeting default language to French.

System Behavior

1. When the U.S. English user calls to attend the scheduled meeting, the prompts play first in Japanese.

2. The caller then hears the prompt "To select English, press 5" in U.S. English and the prompt "To select French, press 6" in Canadian French.

3. The caller enters the profile ID, and the prompt language immediately changes to U.S. English.

4. The caller enters the meeting ID and continues to hear U.S. English prompts until joining the meeting.

5. While the caller is in the meeting, prompts play to all meeting participants in Canadian French; however, prompts play only to this caller—when the caller presses the # key, for example—in U.S. English.

Language Preferences

Within the configuration precedence, the following types of language preferences affect which languages callers hear and when they hear them:

• Port-Group Level Language Preferences

• Meeting-Level Language Preferences

• User-Profile Level Language Preferences

• Examples of Language Preferences

Port-Group Level Language Preferences

•U.S. English is the default language and is considered an installed language.

•If you do not configure the port group to use a specific language, U.S. English plays.

•If you install UK English, the Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server system does not offer U.S. English.

–For example, if you install a total of three languages (U.S. English, UK English, and Japanese) and you configure the ports to play Japanese, the welcome prompt offers only UK English and Japanese.

Meeting-Level Language Preferences

•The meeting language defaults to the profile language of the meeting scheduler unless another language is specified in the caller's user profile.

•If the caller selects Attend a Meeting or MeetingNotes access, the voice prompts proceed in the port language until the caller enters the meeting.

•If the caller selects Profile access, the prompts change to the profile language selection after the caller logs in.

•If the caller selects a language, the caller hears the language access prompts again in the selected language.

•Prompts that play to all participants in the meeting play in the meeting-language setting; prompts that play to individuals play in the user-profile language setting.

•Prompts that play when dialing out to a guest participant are determined by the profile setting for the guest.

User-Profile Level Language Preferences

•Callers can only change their user profile language preferences through the MeetingTime client.

•Callers can only choose a language before attending a meeting. After the caller chooses Attend a Meeting, the user-profile language plays; before the caller chooses Attends a Meeting, the default language plays.

Examples of Language Preferences

The following examples shows how language preferences affect the outcome of system, meeting, and user-level preference selections:

Three-Language System With Unconfigured Port Using the Default Language Example

The welcome greeting plays, and the caller is offered the following selections:

•"Welcome to MeetingPlace" in U.S. English

•"To select English, press 1" in U.S. English

•"To select Japanese, press 2" in Japanese

•"To select French, press 3" in Canadian French

The caller selects 2, and the following prompts play in Japanese:

•"To attend a meeting, press 1"

•"To access your profile, press 2"

•"To access MeetingNotes, press 3"

•"To hear MeetingPlace overview, press 9"

•"To reach assistance, press 0"

Three-Language System With Ports Configured for Japanese Example

The welcome greeting plays, and the caller is offered the following selections:

•"Welcome to MeetingPlace" in Japanese

•"To attend a meeting, press 1" in Japanese

•"To access your profile, press 2" in Japanese

•"To access MeetingNotes, press 3" in Japanese

•"To select English, press 5" in English

•"To select French, press 6" in Canadian French

•"To hear MeetingPlace overview, press 9" in Japanese

•"To reach assistance, press 0"in Japanese

The caller selects 5, and the following prompts play in U.S. English:

•"To attend a meeting, press 1"

•"To access your profile, press 2"

•"To access MeetingNotes, press 3"

•"To hear MeetingPlace overview, press 9"

•"To reach assistance, press 0"

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
