How to Configure Your System Language 1 How to Configure Your System Language The HP-UX operating system provides a number of European and Asian locales, some supported via different codesets, for instance: iso8859-1 (Western European), utf8 (European & Asian, including Euro support) and iso8859-15 (Western European, including Euro support). See Appendix A, Locale Names,, for a listing of the provided locales.
How to Configure Your System Language Languages Configured at the Factory Languages Configured at the Factory If you order your Workstation with a specific language configured at the factory, the system will “wake up” in that language the first time you turn it on. If you later decide to change the language, you will have to make sure the proper locales are loaded on your system and, if not, load them from the Core OS media. All available languages are included on the Core OS media.
How to Configure Your System Language Loading Locales from the Core OS Media Loading Locales from the Core OS Media Step 1. Check to see what locales are currently installed on your system by typing: locale -a Check to see what languages are installed on your system by typing: /usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset International Refer to the locale listing in Appendix A in this document for a description of the locales. Step 2.
How to Configure Your System Language Managing the LANG Environment Variable Managing the LANG Environment Variable To configure localized HP-UX sessions, you will need to: • Manage the LANG environment variable. • Access language-dependent message catalogs and resource files. • Execute applications remotely across internationalized systems. You can set the LANG variable to any locale that is supported by the HP-UX operating system, and installed on your system.
How to Configure Your System Language Managing the LANG Environment Variable Setting the Locale for Multiple Users (Xconfig file) To set the system-wide default language settings, you must edit the Xconfig file. This sets the CDE login screen and the proper LANG variable for all users. This is the only way to change LANG for all displays in multi-display systems. Here is the procedure: 1. Check to see if the /etc/dt/config/Xconfig file exists on your system. If not, copy it from /usr/dt/config/Xconfig.
How to Configure Your System Language Managing the LANG Environment Variable Setting the Language for One User (.dtprofile file) An individual user can override the system-wide LANG setting by changing his/her homedirectory/.dtprofile file. In this case, the login screen is not localized and LANG is set only for the current user. Here is the procedure for customizing the .dtprofile file: 1. login user 2. Go to your HOME directory 3. Edit the .dtprofile file Add/Change the LANG environment variable.
How to Configure Your System Language Managing the LANG Environment Variable Setting Default LANG on a Terminal Based System Default language/codeset settings for terminal based systems are made by modifying the .profile or .cshrc file in the user’s home directory. For example: • To set the user's default login to the German utf8 locale, modify the following lines: When using sh or ksh, edit the .profile file as follows: LANG=de_DE.utf8 export LANG When using csh, edit the .
How to Configure Your System Language Hardware Considerations Hardware Considerations Keyboards Some HP Visualize Workstations are provided with the USB keyboard, others with the PS/2 keyboard. You will be prompted to select one of several keyboard languages when the Workstation boots for the first time. The selected keyboard language name is stored in the /etc/kbdlang file.
How to Configure the Asian System Environment 2 How to Configure the Asian System Environment In order to input and output Asian characters you also need to have the Asian System Environment (ASE) product. ASE includes enhancements to the system, tools and manuals. To confirm the version of ASE, type: /usr/sbin/swlist -l product Asian-Core If ASE is installed on your system, you will see a list similar to this: # Initializing... # Contacting target "system name"... # # Target: seoul:/ # Asian-Core A.02.
How to Configure the Asian System Environment Configuring IMS Configuring IMS Supported IMS The type of IMS (Input Method Server) supported for each Asian language is shown below. Table 2-1 System Environments and Supported Input Methods System Environment Supported IMS Japanese: XJIM, ATOK8, ATOK X, VJE-γ, EGBridge Korean: XKIM Simplified Chinese: XSIM Traditional Chinese: XTIM Function of dtimsstart1 dtimsstart allows a user to select one IMS.
How to Configure the Asian System Environment Configuring IMS Manual Start Up It is useful to start IMS manually, if you use Asian Input Method on your C locale desktop. You can execute dtimsstart as follows on your command line. eval ‘/usr/dt/bin/dtimsstart -env‘ IMPORTANT The quotation mark of this line must be a left single quotation mark, and NOT apostrophe-quote. NOTE Normally, dtimsstart shows messages and labels in Asian languages.
How to Configure the Asian System Environment Configuring IMS Figure 2-1 Japanese Input Method Selection Window • For Korean locales (ko_KR.eucKR, ko_KR.utf8): dtimsstart starts XKIM without showing the selection window because only one IMS, XKIM, is supported for both locales. • For Simplified Chinese locales (zh_CN.hp15CN, zh_CN.utf8): dtimsstart starts XSIM without showing the selection window because only one IMS, XSIM, is supported for both locales. • For Traditional Chinese locales (zh_TW.

How to Configure the Asian System Environment Configuring Printers Configuring Printers Configuring the LP Spooler ASE provides many kinds of LP model files which are designed to be configured by sam(1m). To add, delete and maintain Asian printers with the model files in /usr/lib/lp/model, refer to the Managing Printers section of the Managing Systems and Workgroups manual. Printing To print Asian text on the printer, you may need to specify the locale value for the lp command along with the text file.
