Before You Begin to Run Your Program

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.

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

• On Unix® systems, the X libraries that support the language you want to use must be available on your system. Because this is compatible with Views, you may want to refer to the Views documentation for more details.

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

• The .dbm files, which contain message text, icons, menu items, and so on, must be translated into the local language and be available in the proper subdirectories.
  See Localized Message Database Files in Server

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