Find Character Sets

[Karthik S S]

Hello,

How do I find out which are all the character sets and language support installed on HP-UX and Solaris systems?

Thanks,
KarthiK S S

Hi Karthik,

locale
locale -a

did not help you to find this?

With regards,
Mohan.

Hi,

locale is the command to find that.

"locale" will tell you what character set you are currently using. "locale -a" will tell you all the character sets installed on the system.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. It only shows the character sets but doesnt show the language support installed.

The languege is coded in the letters

En_US U.S. English
nl_NL.utf8 Dutch UTF-8

And swiss with the local languages: german, french and italian

de_CH
de_CH.utf8
fr_CH
fr_CH.utf8
it_CH
it_CH.utf8

For more generic info:

a5:/u/usr/merijn 103 > swlist -l subproduct -l product -l fileset | grep -i -e dutch -e _nl -e nl_
# International.Dutch Dutch
International.Dutch.DUTCH B.11.00 DUTCH
PHCO_17316.DUTCH 1.0 International.DUTCH
a5:/u/usr/merijn 104 > swlist International
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "a5"...
#
# Target: a5:/
#

# International B.11.00 International
International.DUTCH B.11.00 DUTCH
International.ENGLISH B.11.00 ENGLISH
a5:/u/usr/merijn 105 >

BTW Sanjay, what does your answer *add* to what was already answered? This looks like point hunting. Something /you/ don't need.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Thank you Merjin! It helped.

I will be happy if someone can tell me how do I find that out in Solaris though it is not fair on my part to ask this here.

Thanks,

SO by guessing CA is for Canada

Hi again,
The only solaris I have speking partially french does have some package shown "as" so I suppose you would hve to look at pkginfo...
It gives a strnge feeling of not knowing what is going on... You know sometimes french sometimes english man in English some error in French....

system SUNWfrrsc French Remote System Control
system SUNWfrscd French Remote System Control User Guide
system SUNWfrscj French Remote System Control GUI

Also have a look in /usr/lib/locale...

Good luck
Victor
