- Advertise access to Preferences via dropdown list attached to user's name
  at top left of screen.
- Compromise to support display in both contextual online help, and aggregated
  in manual (PDF).
  - Identify the "section" by name, because the \ref is converted to a question
    mark icon only, and not a number in online help context.

\label{Prefs_Language}
To change your preferred language, do the following:

\begin{enumerate}

\item Either move your mouse pointer over your name at the top left of the page, and select \textbf{Preferences} from the displayed dropdown, or click \textbf{Main Menu} on the Inline Menu and
then select \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{pref} \textbf{Set user preferences}
in the \textbf{My Space} group.
\item At the \textbf{Set user preferences} screen, select 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{preferences-desktop-locale}
\textbf{Language}. 
\item Select your preferred language from the list of available languages.
\item Click the \fbox{Save} button.

\end{enumerate}

Most likely you will have English as the default language.

If homework problems or other resources are available in your preferred language they will be displayed to you in that language. Otherwise they will remain in the language they were coded in.
Course Coordinators can enforce a particular language to be used in their course. This will override the preferred language settings of all course members for that particular course.
 

Within LON-CAPA the default language of the user interface is English. User interfaces for other languages might not be translated completely, in which case untranslated words will appear in English.
If you would like help with a language that is not completely available 
or not available at all from
the language list, please submit a help ticket through Bugzilla.
