Hi guys,
Here i want to add language field with drop down after username and password from the login page.
Could anyone please help me in this issue.
Thanks,
Anil
Here is a more detailed description of the above steps, Ganesh:
- Navigate to System Definition > Plugins -> locate the plugin called: "I18N: Internationalization"(com.glide.i18n) and activate it;
- Once it is activated the system property called: "glide.ui.language.select" will appear in the UI Properties of your ServiceNow instance. If you navigate to System Properties > UI Properties -> you will see the following property there: "Show the language select box on the login page to allow the user to specify the language they would like to be logged in with.". If you hover over your mouse on it, you will see "glide.ui.language.select". This is because both are the same property;
- For example: let's imagine that the users of your ServiceNow Platform would like to be able to choice between two languages on login: English and German. We know that the English is default, so now we need to ensure that the German will be presented as an option. To do so, we need to navigate to System Definition > Plugins -> locate the one called: "I18N:German Translations"(com.snc.i18n.german), and activate it.
You may do the same with the respective plugins which you require on your instance as languages.
Now, if we log out of the ServiceNow instance we will be able to see the language picker box presented on login. Refer to the below screenshot, taken from my DEV SNOW Instance:
NOTE: if the checkbox of the "Show the language select box on the login page to allow the user to specify the language they would like to be logged in with." property is set to Yes (checked) by default (with the activation of the "
I18N:Internationalization" Plugin & and yet you DON'T see the language box on the login page —> then this means that you have a custom application installed on your instance (via update set), which was created on an instance with this option activated.
In order to deal with this issue you need to perform the following steps:
1. Navigate to System Properties > UI Properties -> and set the checkbox to No on the "
Show the language select box on the login page to allow the user to specify the language they would like to be logged in with." property;
2. Navigate to System Properties > System Localization -> there you will find the same property -> set it to Yes;
Now, if you log out of the ServiceNow instance — you will see that the language box will be presented as required and the issue will be gone!
For useful information in regards to the language — options of ServiceNow you may refer to the below articles:
