Globalization overview The i5/OS operating system supports many languages, thus working as you expect it to work from both a linguistic and a cultural point of view. You can work in the language of your choice. The i5/OS operating system also ensures that the data you send to and receive from the system appears in the form and order you expect. The i5/OS operating system uses a common set of program code, regardless of which language you use on the system. For example, the program code on a U.S. English system and the program code on a Spanish system are identical. Different sets of textual data are used, however, for different languages. Textual data is a collective term for menus, displays, lists, prompts, options, online help information, and messages. This means that you see Help for the description of a function key for online help information about a U.S. English system, while you see Ayuda on a Spanish system. Using the same program code with different sets of textual data allows the i5/OS operating system to support more than one language on a single system. Multiple language support The i5/OS operating system provides the tools and functions you need to make your applications deliver your business information, such as dates and numbers, in formats that conform to the expectations of users in multiple cultures using multiple languages. You can enable your system to translate, present, and process data in a global environment. When you install secondary languages on your system, you can set up your system with user interfaces (that is, textual data) for any of the national language versions (NLVs) provided for the system. To support multiple languages concurrently, you must have adequate storage to install all the necessary secondary languages. You must also install the necessary hardware to support each language. National language version A national language version (NLV) is a version of the i5/OS operating system that contains a predefined set of language-dependent values, such as date format, time format, and sort sequence, for a particular language. When you order an i5/OS licensed program, you identify the national language version you want by specifying a language feature code. If you want to use more than one national language version of a licensed program, you can order additional languages. For example, if you are a German customer, you might need support for both German and French on one system. You can order a national language version for German and a national language version for French. When you order more than one national language version for a system, you designate one of the versions as the primary language. The primary language you designate is the feature code identified when you ordered the operating system. You designate all other national language versions as secondary languages. You must order some of the licensed programs for your system with the same language feature code as the primary language of the system. If the language feature code of a licensed program differs from the language feature code of the primary language of the system, the licensed program might not install correctly. Licensed programs with different feature codes as the primary language can be installed as a secondary language. 2 System i: Programming i5/OS globalization

When you order an i5/OS licensed program, you identify the national language version you want by specifying a language feature code. “Setting up i5/OS with a national language version” on page 29 The steps to install and configure a national language version on the i5/OS operating system include selecting and installing hardware, installing software, and configuring your environment to run in a globalized setting. i5/OS translations i5/OS, or portions of i5/OS, are translated into languages listed in this topic.
