Checklist for Localized Environments

Before you begin to use your program in the local language, there are certain things you must do to ensure that your program will run in the desired language.

• You must create the program to run in the localized environment. See Creating a Program to Run in a Localized Environment.

• Your system must support the locale (the language you want to use). See Locale Requirements.

• Views must support the language you want to use. See Views Locale Support .

• The fonts needed to display the language must be installed on your system. See Required Fonts.

• The files containing messages and other system text (the .dbm files) must be translated into the local language and available in the proper subdirectories. See Localized Message Database Files in Views.

When all of these requirements are in place, you can then run your localized software.
