<h1 class="topictitle1">Multilingual support</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Multilingual support on i5/OS™ is support that includes more than
|
||
|
|
one language on one system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A server that works in multiple languages must be able to handle a variety
|
||
|
|
of cultural and linguistic characteristics, such as:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Graphic characters, such as an e accent grave (<img src="le130000.gif" alt="e grave character" />)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Currency symbols, such as the Pound Sterling symbol</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Date formats, such as 24.06.93</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Time formats, such as 23:59</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Sort sequences, such as a, b, c....</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The server must also handle differences, such as the direction
|
||
|
|
in which text prints and displays. For example, all text of Latin-based languages,
|
||
|
|
such as French and Spanish, displays from left to right across a display.
|
||
|
|
However, the general direction of Arabic and Hebrew text is from right to
|
||
|
|
left across a display. The server displays text, prints text, and allows data
|
||
|
|
entry left to right for some languages and right to left for other languages.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Printing and displaying text left to right for some languages and right
|
||
|
|
to left for others is not enough, though. Numbers and Latin character phrases
|
||
|
|
that are included in Arabic and Hebrew text display and print from left to
|
||
|
|
right. For example, Hebrew text generally flows from right to left across
|
||
|
|
a display. When Hebrew text includes a street address, the street name flows
|
||
|
|
right to left, but the address number flows left to right. Similarly, if Hebrew
|
||
|
|
text includes a Latin name, such as John Smith, the Latin name flows from
|
||
|
|
left to right. Because this text flows both right to left and left to right
|
||
|
|
(bidirectionally), the system displays and prints text bidirectionally.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Multilingual network.</strong> Two or more servers, each using a different
|
||
|
|
primary language, can interchange data. Because data is flowing between systems
|
||
|
|
with different primary languages, the data must have a CCSID assigned. When
|
||
|
|
data has a CCSID assigned, data integrity is maintained. Thus, character data
|
||
|
|
is correctly displayed for the receiving user.</p>
