Message-ID: <-286539958@hpcupt1.HP.COM> Date: 4 Jun 90 23:09:04 GMT References: Organization: Hewlett Packard, Cupertino Lines: 21 Steven, I have forwarded your comments onto the group responsible for the localization of HP-UX (which includes translation of message catalogs). They REALLY DO EXIST, but are *very* busy right now on various things. No action on HP's part is implied in my doing this, but I'm sure they'd be interested. In the meantime, the manual "Native Language Support: HP-UX Concepts and Tutorials" will tell you how to create your own catalogs (in painful detail). You will need to configure your system to support 8-bit characters as well (for French), this is also in the manual. If you do not have a French terminal then you will need to consult your terminal manual to see how to access the various European characters in HP's ROMAN8 character set. I assure you that the whole system works, my own workstation is configured for Japanese, and ALL the commands give me their errors and prompts in Japanese (which I can't read!). --arne Arne Thormodsen CSG Internationalization
