National-language support

GDDM V3R2 General Information
GC33-0866-03



There are no-charge, national-language features for all of the GDDM programs, except GDDM-IMD. The national-language features provide messages, panels, and other text in the following languages:

  • Simplified Chinese (for the People's Republic of China)
  • | Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)
  • Danish
  • French
  • French (Canadian)
  • German
  • Hangeul (Korean)
  • Italian
  • Kanji (Japanese)
  • Norwegian
  • Portuguese (Brazilian)
  • Spanish
  • U.S English
    
    
National-language features, including the U.S. English feature, must be explicitly ordered. Not all material is provided in every language. Where particular material is not available, the U.S. English version is substituted.

Country-extended code pages (CECPs)


GDDM supports country-extended code pages. When codes representing particular characters vary from country to country, GDDM is able to convert the codes, and thereby to ensure that the correct characters are displayed, printed, or plotted. For example, dollar signs entered into a file using a U.S. English language terminal will, with CECP code-page conversion, appear as dollar signs if displayed on non-U.S. English language terminals. Without conversion, a local currency symbol might appear in place of the dollar symbol.
