It's possbile to change the language for a user account or a user group? As admin my installation of PRTG Network Monitor is set to german. Now I want users to see the web interface in e.g. english.

The language can be changed in the Server Administrator Tool on the PRTG server

https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg9/prtg_server_administrator.htm#web_server

this applies to all accounts. It can not be selected per user account.

Do you have any plans to develop multilingual user interface in future versions? We would also like to have possibility to choose langue for scheduled reports, now they are generated in GUI language.

there are no such plans at the moment, sorry.

The way PRTG uses the language files at the moment makes it impossible to deliver different languages at the same time for individual users.

This might be possible in the future, but not any time soon, sorry.

Hello sgsw,

Nothing new here I'm afraid, it is also still not planned as it would require quite a lot of effort compared to the very low demand we've received for this, even over several years.

Kind regards,

Erhard

I also request this, since our HQ´s main language is German but the people from our branch offices all over the world need to work with PRTG too and they would need it in English.
