Installing from the Ignite-UX Server
Configuring the Installation
A locale describes the system management of a language for doing the
following:
• Messaging
• Representing numbers
• Displaying monetary values
• Telling time
• Generating characters
• Sorting text
HP-UX can have more than one installed language. The "default
language" is the language environment represented on the target system
at boot, unless you select another installed language using the HP-VUE
or CDE login screen, reset the LANG environment variable, or use
geocustoms (HP-UX 10.30 and after) to change it.
Default Language
Choices
By clicking on Default Language... you have displayed the Default
Language Choices. They are listed in two columns: Language and Locale.
Each language may have more than one way of representing itself on the
system. If this is the case, there will be multiple locale entries for the
same language.
Languages may be activated is several ways:
• ASK_AT_FIRST_BOOT allows you to leave the language setting open
(unset) until the client system is first booted. At that time, the
language setting will be performed as part of the initial system
configuration. (This applies only to HP-UX 10.30 and later).
• SET_NULL_LOCALE creates a NULL language environment, with the
locale variables set to NULL by default. A null locale allows programs
to execute without using localized message catalogs. This can
increase system performance. All HP-UX messages appear in English
if the locale is set to NULL.
