Quick Start
This appendix discusses National Language Support for the Tivoli Storage
Manager server. National Language Support allows the server to display
messages and help in languages other than U.S. English.
It also allows for the use of locale conventions for date, time, and number
formatting. The languages supported are:
- Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR)
- Chinese, simplified (zh_CN)
- Chinese, traditional (zh_TW)
- Chinese, Big 5 (Zh_TW)
- Chinese, GBK (Zh_CN)
- English (en_US)
- French (fr_FR)
- German (de_DE)
- Italian (it_IT)
- Japanese (ja_JP and Ja_JP)
- Korean (ko_KR)
- Spanish (es_ES)
The SMIT installation of the server automatically installs the language
defined by the LANG environment variable. You can install a different
language by using Selective Installation. For any language, the
appropriate language environment support must also be installed.
- Selective Installation: During installation, use
"Install Update from ALL Available" to list all the filesets, and
choose those for the languages that you want. You can also use SMIT
after installation to change the language selection. See SMIT Installation Procedure for the NLS Feature.
To enable support for a given locale, do the following:
- Set the LANG environment variable. For example, to set the
environment variable for Italian, enter:
export LANG=it_IT
- Set the LANGUAGE option in the server options file to the name of the
locale to use. For example, to use the it_IT locale, set the LANGUAGE
option to it_IT. If the locale is successfully initialized, the date,
time, and number formatting for the server will be controlled by the
locale. This overrides the server option file definitions for date,
time, and number formatting. If the locale is not successfully
initialized, the server defaults to U.S. English message files,
and the date, time, and number formats are still controlled by the server
options file.
The server console uses the locale/language defined by the server options
language variable. However, if an administrative client connects to the
server and specifies a locale that is different from the one specified at the
server, the server tries to initialize the administrative client's
specified locale for returning messages to the client.
To use a language other than the one defined at installation, or to add
translation of TSM messages and online help, read the next section, SMIT Installation Procedure for the NLS Feature.
