Starting Access Gateway Enterprise Edition software release 9.2, the software is localized depending on the language of the client operating system. The strings used in the HTML for each supported language are available in the XML files existing in the /netscaler/ns_gui/vpn/resources directory of the appliance. The primary name of the xml files is the initial two characters of the related language, such as en.xml for English, fr.xml for French, and ja.xml for Japanese language. You need to edit the respective XML file to change the default message on the logon page for the respective language.
