SavaPage can be customized to match your organizational identity. Customization is an advanced topic. The [User Manual](https://www.savapage.org/docs/manual/ch-customization.html) explains the technical details. _Let us know if you have any questions so we can put you on the right track._

I was able to do much of this, but the i18n instructions would not work for me. I ended up editing the source jar.

@steveinbuffalo Are you sure you activated [Custom i18n](https://www.savapage.org/docs/manual/ch-customization.html#ch-custom-webapp-i18n) in the [server.properties](https://www.savapage.org/docs/manual/ch-install-on-linux-advanced-config.html#ch-install-on-linux-config-misc-settings) file with:
`webapp.custom.i18n=true`
(restart SavaPage after you made the change)

Yes. I had trouble with some of the other customization items too like it was ignored or I misnamed or directoried something, then a restart or 2 later they worked. Never resolved that one though so I did it directly. It’s small enough to not worry about.
I am going over config variables now to avoid bugging you or coding changes. Like I wish I could set more than 5 printers to show as choices instead of them having to use search if I have more than 5 printers.
EDIT: It at least should visually indicate there are more than the 5 shown.

@steveinbuffalo You can send details about your failing i18n to [support@savapage.org](mailto:support@savapage.org) so I can have a look offline. Note: in [Admin Web App \> About \> Java](https://www.savapage.org/docs/manual/ch-webapp-admin-about.html#ch-webapp-admin-about-java) you can press the Clear button to clear the i18n cache, so changes in custom i18n files immediately take effect. I created an [issue](https://issues.savapage.org/view.php?id=1195) to add a configuration item to set max printers shown.
