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 you have any inquiry regarding the language.txt file, please contact Grandstream support at: https://helpdesk.grandstream.com
Once all the above requested details are available, users can proceed as follows :

If the phone reboots, and the language file is not kept on the local server, phone will go back to English display.
CHANGING DISPLAY LANGUAGE VIA LCD MENU
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.
From phone’s Web UI 🡪 System 🡪 Language Download, customers can download the up-to-date language file.

Once this language file is provisioned to the phone, the phone won’t lose it by rebooting. Only factory reset will set the LCD display back to English.

Once all the above requested details are available, users can proceed as follows:
