OS language

T G Manikandan — Mon, 25 Aug 2003 09:14:09 GMT

On one of the system when I do a

# swlist |grep RT
HPUXEng64RT B.11.00.01 English HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment
HPUXJpn64RT B.11.00.01 Japanese HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment

Am I using the right way to determine the OS Language?
How should I find the OS Language using a system call?

Thanks

TGM,
Is locale what you are searching for?

Sorry if I had misunderstood your question.

Hi,
I think you are making a small misunderstanding, even English hpux is able to speak german,french or whatever language (nearly true). There is no "OS language", it depends of each user, the /etc/rc.config.d/lang is here for the primary user that launch inetd, syslog, and all other deamon. The "system call" you are looking for is the command: locale, and by default it is "C", and this C is a link under /usr/lib/nls, and you can change it to whatever you wants. Now some lanuage like Japan, Korean, need some extra binaries, but that's all. Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Hi,

OS language will be the one which you have selected during initial installation.
Japanese that is found in u r case is a locale.

In my case we use many Asian locales to test MQSeries product, but the OS langugage is the English

#swlist |grep -i rt
HPUXEng64RT B.11.00.01 English HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment
HPUXJpn64RT B.11.00.01 Japanese HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment
HPUXKor64RT B.11.00.02 Korean HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment
HPUXSCh64RT B.11.00.01 Simplified Chinese HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment
HPUXTCh64RT B.11.00.01 Traditional Chinese HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment

TG

For 11.0 you need to buy Asian language support RTE (run time env) (it costs around $20K at the time we bought), where as for 11i these locales are inbuild.

# swlist -l fileset|grep -i local
Asian-Core.ASX-JPN-E-MAN A.03.00 Japanese (EUC) localized manual pages for ASX-MAN
Asian-Core.ASX-JPN-S-MAN A.03.00 Japanese (Shift-JIS) localized manual pages for ASX-MAN
Asian-UTILITY.UTILS-SCH-RUN A.03.00 Simplified Chinese localized messages for UTILS-RUN
Asian-UTILITY.UTILS-TCH-RUN A.03.00 Traditional Chinese localized messages for UTILS-RUN

above o/p is for m/c runing 11i.

In 11.0 if you didn't install any locales English is the default.
then it shows
HPUXEng64RT B.11.00.01 English HP-UX 64-bit Runtime Environment.
