How-to:

1) Login the AppSuite server using RDP with local administration rights.

2) Open the Windows Control Panel --> Clock, Language and Region

3) Select Add a language and add the language you need to set for Stonefax, if missing from the ones already configured. NOTE: you may need to install on Windows an additional language pack, if the needed language is not included in the pre-installed Windows package. This operation may take some time and could require a system reboot.

Set the preferred language as first language of the list of the configured languages.

4) Open the Windows Control Panel --> Clock, Language and Region -->  Change date, time or number formats
     Adjust here the date and time format, if needed (in particular the short date and long time settings).

5) Move to the Administrative tab of the same form. Select  Copy Settings, enable both the checkboxes:
     [X] Welcome screen and system accounts
     [X] New user accounts
    Confirm and restart Windows, as requested.

6) Login Windows as local administrator again.

7) Open the Windows Control Panel --> Clock, Language and Region -->  Change date, time or number formats
     Then select the Administrative tab.

8) Press "Change System Locale" and select the language settings you want apply to Stonefax.

9) Confirm and reboot Windows, as requested.

Starting this point, Stonefax will use the new system settings you applied. 

For high availability configurations, repeat the same procedure for all Imagicle servers in the cluster.
