If you have a single system supporting multiple languages, you should change the user profile to use
language and cultural-appropriate values. When you change the character set identifier (CCSID)
parameter in the user profile, ensure that the CCSID is set as follows:
v Is set to an SBCS CCSID or to CCSID 65535 for SBCS users
v Is set to a mixed CCSID or to CCSID 65535 for DBCS users
v Is set to a SBCS CCSID for SBCS users on a DBCS system
You can use the Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF) and the Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF)
commands to customize a user profile.

Subsystems
A subsystem is a single, predefined operating environment through which the system coordinates the
work flow and resource use.
The system can contain several subsystems, all operating independently of each other. Subsystems
manage resources. The runtime characteristics of a subsystem are defined in an object called a subsystem
description.
You can use subsystems to support users in a multilingual environment. You should create a separate
subsystem for each set of users with differing needs.
Subsystem descriptions for secondary language users
You can create and use a subsystem description in a multilingual environment. For example, you can
create a subsystem for secondary language users (such as QGPL/GERMAN for German language users).
A subsystem description defines how, where, and how much work enters a subsystem, and which
resources the subsystem uses to perform the work. An active subsystem takes on the simple name of the
subsystem description.
A subsystem description consists of three parts:
v Subsystem attributes
v Workstation entry
v Routing entries
Notes:
1. You can work with existing work entries while the subsystem is active.
2. An IBM-supplied subsystem on a DBCS system is included with a workstation entry to
support DBCS display devices.

You need to consider the running code, translated textual data, and installation documents when
packaging applications. Here are some suggestions for simplifying the packaging and installation of your
application.
