Software AG products are designed for use anywhere in the world, and enable you to exchange data with systems and users who speak languages other than your own. The products use the Universal Character Set (ISO/IEC 10646-2, or Unicode). At minimum, the products support the requirements of Unicode 3.0. HTML content, including administration tools, uses Unicode UTF-8 encoding.
The Software AG Installer always installs the English files necessary to run your products. However, for many products, you can also install language packs that provide translated user interfaces, messages, help, and documentation.
Most products support multiple languages at a time; you can install as many language packs as you need. For products that support multiple languages, your client setup (that is, browser language preference, default locale in which the product is started, and locale selected in your user profile) will determine which language you see. If you operate a product in a locale for which language packs are not available or installed, you will see English.
The Software AG Installer offers an extended character set that extends
Java's java.nio.Charset class to support additional
installable character encodings and adds more than 870 custom character
encodings. The extended character set allows you to use custom character
encodings such as EBCDIC and OEM.
Some HTML interfaces for Software AG products detect the language setting for your browser. If you have installed language packs on your products, those interfaces try to supply the user interface, messages, and data in that language. You can indicate which of the installed languages to display in your browser as follows:
| Browser | Action |
|---|---|
| Firefox | Go to , click , and add the language you want to use to the top of the list. |
| Internet Explorer | Go to , click , and add the language you want to use to the top of the list. |
Your Java run-time environment might require modification to display non-ASCII data. If you see hollow boxes or black squares where you would expect to see non-ASCII characters, you might need to modify your JDK.s font configuration file to provide an appropriate font for displaying these characters.
