Translating PRTG Network Monitor Into Other Languages

The officially supported languages for PRTG currently are English, German, French and Spanish. If you want to translate PRTG into other languages you can now download the PRTG Translation Tool and create your own translation.

For each translation a so-called language file (.lng) must be created. This file contains about 5.000 strings which are used by PRTG to render the user interface. Our knowledgebase article How To Translate PRTG 7 Into Other Languages explains the process and has the download link, too.

Ready to share your translation? Please join the prtg7addons project on the Google Code website and upload your language file. Just like our friend Gerard Feijth who has already uploaded his Dutch translation for PRTG.

This gave us a chance to test PRTG's VMware sensors on the vSphere servers and the new vSphere VirtualCenter and they worked nicely right out of the box.

Here is a screenshot:

Using PageGate Paging Gateway to Relay Notifications for PRTG

Paessler's network monitoring software, PRTG Network Monitor, offers multiple methods to relay notifications, including SMTP mail relay, SMS, ICQ, etc., allowing users to ensure in various ways that they are informed if an issue (such as an outage or a slow server) needs to be brought to their attention. However, there are times when the normal relay means do not suffice, particularly if the main leased line used to connect to the network is interrupted. For these purposes, PRTG Network Monitor includes the option to trigger executable notifications which, combined with the proper external software, can overcome this issue with ease. One software we have been recommending a while is PageGate from NotePage, Inc.
