Post by swapnil_shivhare »

Hi,

What are the different international languages supported by Nagios Core 4? How Nagios Core plugin developer should take care of internationalization?

Thanks,
Swapnil

To the best of my knowledge, Nagios Core does not support international languages in the sense that the interface is in English. It can display international characters (tested with Korean, Spanish, and Russian) but that's about it. Nagios XI does, however, support different interface languages and uses gettext to do so:

If you are writing your own plugins, they can take advantage of gettext() to change their output, and Nagios Core *should* be able to display it just fine.
