Supported Languages

Table 10-1 lists the languages supported in Digital UNIX Version 4.0 and their corresponding locales. The locales are built using new internationalization utilities and are more robust than those offered on previous versions of the operating system. Note that in Digital UNIX Version 4.0, the content of the locale definitions has changed to align with new national profiles and registered locale definitions. Those marked with an asterisk are available as part of language-variant subsets which can be optionally installed.
