Changing the system locale

The system locale is automatically recognized by the Gateway daemon, the configuration tool and the ctgadmin command. Other components of the product use language files that must be changed when the locale is changed.

To change the language in which user messages are displayed follow these steps:
  1. Stop the CICS Transaction Gateway and the Client daemon.
  2. Change the locale of the machine to the locale in which messages are to be displayed. See your operating system documentation for information on how to do this.
  3. Run the ctgmsgs command:

    On UNIX and Linux platforms:

    ctgmsgs XX <code set>

    On Windows platforms:

    ctgmsgs XX [-silent]
    where XX is the two character language identifier.
    Figure 1. The supported languages
    XX  Language

    en  US English            
    fr  French                
    de  German                
    it  Italian               
    es  Spanish               
    tr  Turkish               
    ja  Japanese              
    ko  Korean                
    zh  Simplified Chinese    

    On UNIX and Linux systems enter the ctgmsgs command with no parameters to list the supplied code sets.

  4. Restart the CICS Transaction Gateway.
