1916.1I meant to say...WATEVR::SNYDERThu Dec 14 1989 08:1121
Can anyone help me with DECwindows internationalisation ?

DECwindows V2.0 session manager can be customised to function in any one of
a number of languages if the language variant is installed.

    where do I obtain the language variant kits ?

    how do I install them ?

    does a customer have to buy each language variant separately ?

    how do I set up a system for use in an office where choice of language
    is a matter of personal preference, eg a multinational HO in
    Switzerland where English/French/German are used in about equal
    proportions with a smattering of others from around the world ?

Thanks in advance.

    > where do I obtain the language variant kits?
    
    	They are separate layered products. The translations
    	are in progress now, and so kits are not available today.
    
    > how do I install them?
    
    	When they are available you will install them with VMSINSTAL just
    	like any other layered product.
    
    > does a customer have to buy each language variant separately?
    
    	Yes.

    	You can install multiple languages on a single VMS system.
        Each user can choose their preference using the session manager.
