Locale settings in HPUX

[Tony Romero_1]

Does anyone know how to setup the different languages (i.e. Korean, Chinese) in HPUX 11.0. Specifically to work with SAP.

Hi,
To set a different language just export the parameter called "LANG"
and to see what languages and fonts are supported use
locale -a command
and then say for korean export

export LANG=ko_KR.utf8
that will set the language to korean

[A. Clay Stephenson]

The general answer to this question is
export LANG=ko_KR.utf8

To list all available locale settings do a locale -a.

A good way to test commands is something like this:
LANG=ko_KR.ut date

That will run the date command with dLANG set to Korean. Because different users can have have different locate settings you may need to set and export LANG for individual users in their .profile's.

Man locale, lang, and environ for details.
