Software Requirements
The following languages have their own character generators. To correctly display all the
characters in a particular language, that language’s character generator must be installed in the
display station.
Languages followed by an asterisk (*) are supported by both 3270 hosts and ASCII hosts.
Languages that are not followed by an asterisk are supported only by 3270 hosts.
Cyrillic Greek
Icelandic ROECE Latin
Spanish* Thai
Turkish Yugoslav
All other languages use the Base character generator.
If two languages are configured that have different character generators, one of the languages
may not display characters correctly. For example, if German and Icelandic are configured
and the terminal has only a Base character generator, the Icelandic characters that differ from
the characters on the Base character generator will not display correctly.
Using the Dual Language Feature
Before you can use the Dual Language feature, you must configure a primary and a secondary
language. See the LINCS Configuration and Central Control document for instructions on
how to configure the Dual Language feature.
The status line displays PR for primary language or SE for secondary language at location 36.
If the Dual Language feature has not been configured, PR or SE is not displayed.
Host Default Language
During configuration, you can select either of the two configured languages, the primary
language or the secondary language, to be the default language for a host. The code page for
the host default language is used at all times for that host. When the device is powered on, each
session’s keyboard language is set to the default language for the corresponding host.
Greek, Cyrillic, and Thai
If you select Greek, Cyrillic, or Thai as either language during configuration, no language
toggling is possible unless the Keyboard Definition Utility (KDU) is used during configuration
to add a language toggle key.
