Localization
Holding down the <<, >>, or erase<, soft key or any numeric keypad keys automatically
repeats the entry. If the input value is wider than the LCD can display, the 900 Series phone
automatically scrolls the input to the left so that the user can continue to enter input. On the
other hand, the 900 Series phone stops accepting further input for a given field if the maximum
allowed input length has been reached for that field. For Boolean input, the 900 Series phone
displays (y/n); pressing the soft key toggles the current input between yes and no.
When the 900 Series phone displays an option, pressing the soft key either changes the input
field to the next available choice in round-robin fashion, or displays a menu of choices. For
most settings, the input value is saved once the user press save or ok before exiting the edit
screen for that setting.

changes have been made to the settings so that they are saved into the configuration at the same
time. These exceptions are:

Localization
This section applies to the following SPA900 Series IP Phones:
•
•
•
This section describes how to localize the IP phone display language for these models, referred
to in this section as SPA9x2 phones.
SPA9x2 phones support setting an alternative language on the user display. The administrator
or service provider defines up to nine languages, in addition to English, to be made available
and hosts the dictionaries for each of the languages on the HTTP or TFTP provisioning server.
Language support follows Cisco dictionary principles.
The paragraphs describe parameters that can be defined in the SPA9x2 configuration file.
