Specifying the locale

Localization of system software

SCO OpenServer is internationalized for 8-bit languages in the majority of the software components. It also provides French and German message catalogs and resource files for these components, as well French and German documentation for the runtime system.

The following components have not been translated: the kernel; the link-kit; Installation Query Manager (IQM); supplied drivers (such as Xdrivers and Network Drivers); layered products, such as the Development System and NeTraverse(TM) Merge(TM), mkdev scripts; boot; csh, sh (we recommend that you use the POSIX shell (/bin/posix/sh) or ksh for localized messages).

Some utilities provided for backwards-compatibility (with XENIX® commands and SCO OpenServer value added) are not localized.

No mkdev or kernel relink scripts are currently translated. When you turn your system on, all system startup information up to the point where you press <Ctrl>D to proceed with normal startup, (or give the root password for system maintenance) will always appear in English.
