About this task (for upgrades only): This task is performed after you install Vocera Voice Server or Vocera Reports Server and you are moving to later version. If a localization pack is installed in the previous version of Vocera, the backup restore will fail during the upgrade installation process since the installer is looking for an English locale. However, this is easily fixed by installing the new Localization Suite and rebooting the Vocera Voice Server. During the reboot, the backup files are restored. For more information on Vocera upgrades and installations, see the Vocera Installation Guide.

Prerequisite: Install Vocera Voice Server or the Report Server and download the appropriate Localization Suite image file. For more information on installing Vocera products and downloading the ISO image file, see the Chapter titled Electronic Software Distribution in the Vocera Installation Guide.

To launch the Vocera Localization Suite and change the locale for Vocera products:

1. Log into the computer with administrator privileges.

2. After you install Vocera Voice Server or Report Server, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Vocera Localization Suite.

3. Click the VoceraLocalizer executable. The InstallShield Wizard for the Vocera Localization Suite is launched.

4. Follow the prompts through the Install Shield Wizard.

5. Click Finish to exit the Install Shield Wizard.

The Vocera uninstaller is launched from the Windows Control panel utility, Programs and Features. When you uninstall a Localization Suite, the application launched after you select Vocera from Programs and Features reverts the server locale back to US English.

To uninstall the locale of your Vocera products:

1. For Windows 2008 and Windows 2012, open the Windows Control Panel and select Programs and Features.

2. Select Vocera Voice Localization Suite from the list of displayed software removal options.

   The Vocera uninstaller is launched.

   Warning: The server is stopped during Vocera software removal and empties the database.

3. Follow the prompts through the uninstaller Wizard.

4. Click Finish to exit the uninstaller Wizard.

5. Restart the Windows Server after the application completes removing the Vocera Localization Suite.

   Note: If you receive an error message related to a failed restore, simply restart the Vocera Voice Server. This error occurs when data from the previous locale remains in the backup directory. Restarting the Vocera Voice Server empties the database from the previous installation and allows you to begin using Vocera with fresh database in the US English locale.
