Customize GUI text and messages

Localize GUI text and messages

Firewall Threat Defense devices use translation tables to translate the labels and user messages displayed in Secure Client. When a user connects to the remote access VPN, Secure Client identifies the locale set on the endpoint and downloads the translation file. Firewall Threat Defense supports 128 locales. By default, Secure Client is installed in English.

  • For Secure Client Version 5.0, the default localization files for various languages are part of the application.

  • For AnyConnect Client Version 4.x, you can download the localization files for a few languages from the Cisco website and upload them to the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center.
