Localize ArcGIS Notebook Server

ArcGIS Notebook Server installs language-specific resources that allow you to localize the user interface of the notebook editor with a preferred language. You can localize the ArcGIS Notebooks user interface by changing the display language of the ArcGIS Enterprise organization your ArcGIS Notebook Server has been configured with.

For information on how to change your organization's display language, see Localize Portal for ArcGIS.

Languages available during installation

The ArcGIS Notebook Server installation wizard is only available in English. However, the configuration wizard can be displayed in 7 languages. The display language is determined by the language settings in the web browser with which you access the wizard. The following languages are available in addition to English: Chinese (Simplified Han), French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish.

Languages available in the notebook editor

Because you access ArcGIS Notebooks through the ArcGIS Enterprise portal website, the language of the notebook editor is the same as the current language of the portal.

Portal administrators can also change the organizational language setting.
