Updated on October 31, 2023

Grandstream GRP26xx Carrier-Grade IP Phones, support multiple display languages for better user experience using Grandstream products.

Users can change the LCD display via 2 methods:

Method 1: Changing Display Language via Auto Download Mode

Users can upload their own language file via local server using a local HTTP/HTTPS, FTP/ FTPS or TFTP server.

Method 2: Changing Display Language via LCD Menu

If the local environment is not providing a server, another simple option is available to change the display language, through the phone’s LCD screen.

CHANGING DISPLAY LANGUAGE VIA AUTO DOWNLOAD MODE

Customers can upload their own language file via local HTTP/HTTPS, FTP/FTPS or TFTP server, the phone requests the language file during boot up using the provided Path / Protocol.

In order to provision the phone with the language.txt file, the following conditions are requested:

If the phone reboots, and the language file is not kept on the local server, phone will go back to English display.

A second option to change the LCD display language is through phone LCD menu, this option is mainly helpful when there is no available local server for auto download.
