vSphere Client Parameters (Autologin and Change Language)

Neither new, nor special, but still not known everywhere. With the vSphere Client you can... vsphere-client

...automatically login to a vCenter or ESXi host without typing username and password
...automatically login to a vCenter with the "Use Windows session credentials" option
...change the display language

To accomplish this, just create or copy a shortcut to the vSphere Client and add the followig parameters:

vsphere-client-autologin

Pass username and password

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe" -s <SERVER> -u <USER> -p <PASSWORD>

Use Windows session credentials

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe" -s <SERVER> -passthroughAuth

Change vSphere Client language to english

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe"  -locale en_US

The following languages are supported:

Hello,
Do we have anyway in the host web client to do similar? I have read other sites that talk about editing the html but that is not an option, I just want to pass it I did in 6.0 thick client.
