Configuring HP-UX for Different Languages

How to Configure Your System Language
Managing the LANG Environment Variable
Chapter 112
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.
For example:
• To set the locale to the French iso8859-1 locale
LANG=fr_FR.iso88591
4. Save and exit
5. Log out and login again.
Setting the Locale for One Session (CDE Options
menu)
To set the locale for one session, use the Options menu of the CDE Login
Manager (the screen you see when you are ready to login to the system).
By choosing a locale from this list, the LANG variable is set for the user on
a per-login basis. The value of the LANG variable returns to its default
value (as set in dtlogin, see above) when the user logs out at the end of
the session.
