About this task (for upgrades only): This task is performed after you install Vocera Voice Server and you're moving to later version. If a language 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 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.

This section provides information about known product defects and limitations in the current release.

Known defects:

• Genie voice changing gender from female to male on some prompts - The Vocera Genie uses recorded messages wherever possible to prompt users. Where a recorded prompt does not exist, it employs a text to speech engine to enunciate the prompt. In the case of the locale packs for Australia, Great Britain, and New Zealand there is only a male voice for the text to speech engine. Therefore for these locales, if the user is empoying the female Vocera Genie persona, the voice may change genders from female to male and back. This will be addressed in a future version of these locales.(Issue US23705)

• Incorrect date format for Vocera Report Server only - The report header may show an incorrect date format for mm/dd/yyyy for all locales. This issue will be addressed in a future release. (Issue DE11311)

• Incorrect date format for Staff Assignment only - The date format shown in Staff Assignment when an Administrator is viewing the details of login sessions incorrectly shows as mm/dd/yyyy regardless of locale settings. (Issue DE11335)

• For French Canadian locale only - During the restore operation, the progress dialog box doesn't properly update the status. Workaround: Close the dialog box to update the status.(DE11853)

Installation Prerequisites:

• For French Canadian Only: You must install Vocera Voice Server 5.2 Hot Fix 4 on all Vocera Voice Server and VRS servers before installing the Localization Suite for French Canadian. For more information contact Vocera Customer Support.
