Configure a national language version

Use this information to configure i5/OS™ with a national language version in this topic.

• User profile name considerations
  The user profile name identifies the user to the server. This user profile name is also known as the user ID. It is the name that the user types in the User prompt on the Signon display.
• Service tools
  Panels, messages, and online help information for service tools are typically shown in the primary language of the system. Therefore, the workstation from which the system is being serviced must be configured to support the primary language, and the keyboard for the primary language must be attached to that workstation.
• System and user interfaces
  The server interfaces and user interfaces are presented through a workstation or printer.
• Configure the primary language
  A primary language consists of program code, textual data for each licensed program ordered, and default national language cultural values.
• Configure secondary languages
  A secondary language consists of textual data for all licensed programs supported for a national language version.
• Install and enable locales
  If you are installing a new release, you can request that library QSYSLOCALE be installed on the system at that time.
