<div><p>This topic describes the way that globalization has been implemented
|
||
|
|
on i5/OS™,
|
||
|
|
including topics that describe globalization-specific values on the system
|
||
|
|
and topics that describe how services and functions in i5/OS support globalization.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>i5/OS supports many languages; you can work in the
|
||
|
|
language of your choice. i5/OS also ensures that the data you send to and receive
|
||
|
|
from the server appears in the form and order you expect. By supporting many
|
||
|
|
different languages, the operating system works as you expect it to work,
|
||
|
|
from both a linguistic and a cultural point of view.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>i5/OS uses a common set of program code, regardless
|
||
|
|
of which language you use on the system. For example, the program code on
|
||
|
|
a U.S. English server and the program code on a Spanish server are identical.
|
||
|
|
Different sets of textual data are used, however, for different languages.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><dfn class="term">Textual data</dfn> is a collective term for menus,
|
||
|
|
displays, lists, prompts, options, online help information, and messages.
|
||
|
|
This means that you see <var class="varname">Help</var> for the description of the
|
||
|
|
function key for online help information about a U.S. English server, while
|
||
|
|
you see <var class="varname">Ayuda</var> on a Spanish server. Using the same program
|
||
|
|
code with different sets of textual data allows i5/OS to support more than one language
|
||
|
|
on a single server.</p>

i5/OS provides

the tools and function you need to make your applications deliver your business

|

|
|
A national language version (NLV) is a version of the i5/OS that contains
|
||
|
|
a predefined set of language-dependent values like date format, time format,
|
||
|
|
sort sequence, and so forth for a particular language.</li>
