i5/OS™ provides the tools and function you need to make your applications deliver your business information, such as dates and numbers, in formats that conform to the expectations of users in multiple cultures using multiple languages.
You can enable your iSeries™ server to translate, present, and process data in a global environment.
When you install secondary languages on your system, i5/OS also lets you set up your system with user interfaces (that is, textual data) for any of the national language versions provided for the system. To support multiple languages concurrently, you must have adequate storage to install all the necessary secondary languages. You must also install the necessary hardware to support each language.
