NOTE You can also use Horizon Client to securely access remote Windows-based applications, in addition
to remote desktops. Selecting an application in Horizon Client opens a window for that application on the
local client device, and the application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed.
You can use remote applications only if you are connected to Connection Server 6.0 or later. For information
about which operating systems are supported for the RDS (Remote Desktop Sessions) host, which provides
remote applications and session-based desktops, see "Supported Operating Systems for Horizon Agent"
topic in the View 5.x or 6.x installation documentation. See the "Supported Operating Systems for
Horizon Agent" topic in the Horizon 7 installation documentation.
For descriptions of these features and their limitations, see the View Architecture Planning document.
Feature Support for Linux Desktops
Some Linux guest operating systems are supported if you have View Agent 6.1.1 or later, or Horizon Agent
7.0 or later. For a list of supported Linux operating systems and information about supported features, see
Setting Up Horizon 6 for Linux Desktops, which is part of the Horizon 6, version 6.1 documentation.
Internationalization
The user interface and documentation are available in English, Japanese, French, German, Simplified
Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
Use a Local IME with Remote Applications
When using non-English keyboards and locales, you can use an IME (input method editor) installed in your
local system to send non-English characters to a remote hosted application.
You can also use hot keys and icons in the notification area (system tray) of your local system to switch to a
different IME. No IME is required to be installed in the remote RDS host.
