PingID Administration Guide

Restoring localization file message defaults

If you have customized the language for one or more locale by editing the localization file, you can restore the defaults by deleting the existing localization file for that language. Deleting the localization file restores the system defaults for all languages.

About this task

You can also restore defaults per language from the Enrollment page. Select a specific language and click Reset next to the text you want to restore. Use only one method consistently, either through the localization file or using the Admin portal. The system does not maintain a history of changes.
