Languages for your emulator
Set emulator language variables.
The labels and help applications in the main emulator are translated and displayed based on the $LANG system environment variable. The command line value –LANGID is also used to set the language.
The text for iSeries™ Access for Linux® is stored in /opt/ibm/iSeriesAccess/mri/%locale%.
iSeries Access for Linux uses one of the locales listed in the table below to identify the language version of the server. It searches for a directory matching the entire locale, then searches for the first two characters of the locale. It defaults to the en_US directory when a match is not found.
The setup5250 program and associated help are not translated so they always display as English text. The On-line Help and GUI are translation enabled and translated unless otherwise noted in the following table.
