<div><p>If you need to support a language that does not have a supported
national language version, follow the general steps in this topic.</p>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Study the available national language versions. Find out which
national language version most closely resembles your language in character
representation.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Install the most appropriate national language version as your
primary language.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Modify the system values to meet your cultural
needs. For example, set date and time formats to meet those of the culture
that you are supporting.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Configure your workstations and printers to match your primary
language. Then, handle discrepancies between support for the installed NLV
and your own language. </span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The workstation customization functions
can support only those capabilities built into your hardware. You cannot support
functions through workstation customization that your hardware is unable to
support.</div>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Use the Create Table (CRTTBL) command to create a sort sequence
table based on the existing table that most nearly matches the appropriate
sorting sequence for your language.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>If your language is a DBCS language, create your own characters
(UDC) to represent missing characters in the code page associated with the
NLV you installed. UDC is an acronym for a user-defined character that is
created through the character generator utility (CGU). CGU is an extension
of the code page with special user-defined ideographic characters, symbols,
or logos.</span></li>
