FAQ/How can I enable multiple language support for snom300/320/360 using FW Version 7

From Snom User Wiki

Answer

Due to the limited flash memory size on snom300/320/360 the multiple language support in FW Version 7 or newer is provided the following way:

1. small or individual installations: use the snom language provisioning script:
   1. Note that there are separate language files for the two existing firmware branches:
      1. For Firmware versions 7.1.x: copy the URL "http://fox.snom.com/config/settings.xml" into your phones Update Settings URL field
      2. For Firmware versions 7.3.x: copy the URL "http://fox.snom.com/config/settings2.xml" into your phones Update Settings URL field
      3. For Firmware versions 8.2.x: copy the URL "http://fox.snom.com/config/settings3.xml" into your phones Update Settings URL field
      4. For Firmware versions 8.4.x: copy the URL "http://fox.snom.com/config/settings_8.4.xml" into your phones Update Settings URL field
      5. For Firmware versions 8.5.x: copy the URL "http://fox.snom.com/config/settings_8.5.xml" into your phones Update Settings URL field
      6. For Firmware versions 8.6.x: copy the URL "http://fox.snom.com/config/settings_8.6.xml" into your phones Update Settings URL field
      7. For Firmware versions 8.7.x: copy the URL "http://fox.snom.com/config/settings_8.7.xml" into your phones Update Settings URL field
   2. Press save and reboot the phone.
   3. After bootup several languages are selectable again for phone and web user interface.
   4. On the web user interface you might have to refresh the page after changing the language.
2. large phone installations: use the new XML file mass deployment structure explained in this presentation (page 28). If only language support is required follow these instructions:
   1. Copy the following files from snom's language provisioning folder onto your local web server (choose the appropriate files reflecting the firmware version/ firmware branch that your phones are running):
      1. settings.xml (--> links to web_lang.xml and gui_lang.xml)
      2. web_lang.xml (--> links to all desired web user interface languages found in snomlang-7.X.Y.Z.tgz)
      3. gui_lang.xml (--> links to all desired phone user interface -GUI - languages found in snomlang-7.X.Y.Z.tgz)
      4. snomlang-7.X.Y.Z.tgz (X.Y=latest FW Version; Z=Revision --> contains all available web/phone user interface XML language files)
   2. Unpack snomlang-7.X.Y.Z.tgz and change the URLs in settings.xml, gui_lang.xml and web_lang.xml according to your web server's folder structure.
   3. Enter "http://yourwebserver/settings.xml" into your phones Update Settings URL field and proceed as explained in 1.2.
