Changing the display language of the product installed on Linux

When you want to use the product in a different language other than the display language of your computer, then you can change the language of the product by using the command-line interface in Linux.

You must have completed the following tasks:

Modified the product that is installed in your preferred language by using IBM® Installation Manager to install the other translated product packages.

If for any reason, you want to use the product that you have installed in your preferred language to be displayed in any other supported language, you can run an eclipse command to change the display language of the product.

After you run the eclipse command, you must close the product if it is running and relaunch the product for it to display in the changed language.

Note:

After you changed the language and for any reason closed the application, the product reverts to display in the default language that is set in your computer when you relaunch the product.

Open a terminal and log in as a root user.
Run the following command to change the directory to the location where you installed the product:

cd <directory path>

Run the following command to change the language of the product:

./eclipse -nl <language_code>

Where <language_code> is the language code of the language that you want to use.

You must provide the <language_code> for the language that is listed in the following table:


Language	Language code
Czech	cz
English	en
French	fr
German	de
Hungarian	hu
Italian	it
Japanese	ja
Korean	ko
Polish	pl
Portuguese (Brazil)	pt_BR
Russian	ru
Spanish	es
Simplified Chinese	zh_CN
Traditional Chinese	zh_TW
Turkish	tr

For example, if you installed the product in English and you want to view the product display in French, you must run the following command:

./eclipse -nl fr

The product UI is displayed in French.

You have changed the display language of the product until you restart the product.
