1. A method of operating a security system having at least one user interface, the method comprising:
- assigning a user identification to each of a plurality of users of the security system;
selecting a preferred language for communicating with each user from a plurality of different available languages;
associating the user identification of each user with the selected preferred language for that user;
sensing a security breach;
detecting a particular user'"'"'s presence adjacent a user interface of the security system;
determining the preferred language associated with the particular user; and
providing an indication to the particular user that an alarm signal will be issued in response to sensing the security breach, the indication being provided in the particular user'"'"'s associated preferred language and including instructions given in the particular user'"'"'s preferred language regarding how to abort the alarm signal.

11. A security system comprising:
-
a plurality of sensors configured to sense security breaches and generate detection signals based thereon; a controller configured to receive the detection signals from the plurality of sensors and selectively generate an alarm signal in response to the detection signals; a database accessible by the controller, the database storing a user identification for each of a plurality of users of the security system and a preferred language for communicating with each of the plurality of users of the security system, the preferred language being selected from a plurality of different available languages; and a user interface in communication with the controller, the user interface comprising an input device configured to receive a user identification to identify a particular user and a communication device configured to communicate with the particular user in the user'"'"'s preferred language, and wherein in response to at least one of the sensors sensing a security breach, the communication device provides an indication to the particular user that an alarm signal will be issued, the indication being provided in the particular user'"'"'s preferred language and including instructions given in the particular user'"'"'s preferred language regarding how to abort the alarm signal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
