Introduction
Welcome to the HCL Informix® International Language Supplement
- Translated user interface files for Informix UNIX™ products
- These files provide a user interface in the language of your choice.
- Locales (and character maps)
- Locales contain information about cultural conventions that are used in different countries and
territories, in a format that can be used by Informix products. This information includes time,
date, number and currency formats, character sets and sorting orders. Character maps are provided
for information purposes only - they are built into locales.
All the locales that are provided are GLS locales, which work with -enabled products.
Included in the set of locales is a group of locales called Operating System (OS) equivalent locales. These are locales that operate in the same way as the NLS locales provided with your operating system. If you create Informix databases by using those NLS locales and want to continue to use those databases with GLS-enabled Informix products, you can use OS equivalent locales.
Informix products that are GLS-enabled can use these locales and code set conversion tables.
For information about using the locales, character maps, and code set conversion tables included in the , see the Informix GLS User's Guide.
