Display messages in your national language on AIX

To display messages from a different national language message catalog, we must install the appropriate catalog and set the LANG environment variable.

About this task

Messages in the language specified by the locale selected on your machine at installation time are installed by default.

To find out which language is currently in use, run the locale command.

If this returns a language which is not one of the national languages provided by IBM MQ, we must select a national language, otherwise we will not get a message catalog installed on the system.

Message catalogs for all languages are installed in MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/msg/language identifier , where language identifier is one of the identifiers in Table 1. If you require messages in a different language, perform the following steps:

Procedure

1. Install the appropriate message catalog (see IBM MQ components and features ).
2. To select messages in a different language, ensure the LANG environment variable is set to the identifier for the language we want to install:

   Identifier	Language
   cs_CZ	Czech
   de_DE	German
   es_ES	Spanish
   fr_FR	French
   hu_HU	Hungarian
   it_IT	Italian
   ja_JP	Japanese
   ko_KR	Korean
   pl_PL	Polish
   pt_BR	Brazilian Portuguese
   ru_RU	Russian
   zh_CN	Simplified Chinese
   zh_TW	Traditional Chinese

   AIX has some additional message catalogs:

   Identifier	Language
   Ja_JP	Japanese
