You can't just assume they know your language. Often it means programs and interfaces must be in two languages. Search400.com expert Dwight Beech has been in those shoes and discovered how easy it is to use the MSGCON keyword to set up the screens and reports to display in a different language. >> CLICK here for the full tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci882374,00.html ============================================================== Answers to Other Programmer Questions ============================================================== Does Domino/Notes have multi-language support? A user asks, "Can a Domino implementation support several languages or is there anything that comes close to the multi- language concept of the iSeries?" Site expert John Brandt outlines what Domino is capable of. http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid390633_tax285220,00.html Why can't I get my printer to print Chinese characters? This user created a remote output queue in iSeries. He then sends the spool files to a HP LJ4100 with Jetdirect and a built in Chinese fonts library. For the English documents, it works perfectly. But it cannot print any Chinese characters. Read what site expert Tim Granatir advised. http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid486343_tax285217,00.html Build a multi-language PRTF One Search400.com member is trying to build a multi-language DSPF and PRTF. The DSPF isn't a problem, but he needs help with the PRTF. Former site expert Pascal Jacquemain offered some assistance. http://search400.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid390765_tax285217,00.html Working with CA file transfers for non-English characters "LovosA" recently encountered an Excel sheet that contained Polish characters. When he tried to save the file, all the Polish characters were converted to English characters. He wondered what he could do to upload the file to an iSeries DB2 file -- without losing the Polish characters? Thankfully, "LindaIreland" stepped forward to offer some advice. http://search400.discussions.techtarget.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.ee84636/1608 ______________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- TAKE OUR POLL | Search400.com Reader Survey Do you use work-related instant messaging? >> CAST your vote: http://www.search400.com/poll =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- WIN A SWING GROOVER II ELECTRONIC GOLF COACH | Submit your tip Would you like to improve your golf game?
