NLS Support

National Language Support (NLS) is responsible for Character and language conversion according to the configured language.

With the support of NLS, BTT applications are able to display in different languages according to customers' requirements without further translation. This is because a NLS element consists of a value and a key. Different languages refer to different values while they share the same key.

As the "Please select an NLS file" window shown, there are six modules, each of which will be introduced below.
