Changing the Current Default Locale

For your localized messages to appear on the screen, you may need to change the current default locale.

On Unix Systems

You can use one of the following environment variables: LANG or LC_ALL. See your system documentation to find out the appropriate locale names.

For example, if you want to use Japanese with the EUC encoding:

On HP-UX 10.x, type:

$ LANG=ja_JP.eucJP

On Solaris 10, type:

$ LANG=ja or LANG=japanese

On Windows Systems

Access the Regional Settings Properties dialog box as explained in Locale Requirements/On Windows Systems, then change the language using the Regional Settings of the Control Panel.
