The IBM® VM Recovery Manager DR for Power Systems solution displays output messages in your preferred language. The following language locales are supported with UTF-8 character encoding:

Table 1. List of supported languages
S.No.	Language	Code
1	German	DE_DE
2	Spanish	ES_ES

4	Japanese	JA_JP
5	Brazilian Portuguese	PT_BR
6	Italian	IT_IT
7	Simplified Chinese	ZH_CN
8	Traditional Chinese	ZH_TW
9	US English	en_US

Prerequisites

To use the simplified Chinese (ZH_CN) locale support, you must install the bos.iconv fileset by running the following command:

installp -ac -FXYd. bos.iconv

Then run the following command:

installp -ac -FYd. bos.loc.utf.ZH_CN

Enabling locale

To enable your preferred language setting (locale), complete the following procedure:

To set a language for the KSYS subsystem, run the following command:

ksysmgr modify system ksys_lang=<language>

Example:

ksysmgr modify system ksys_lang=DE_DE

The following output is displayed:

KSYS ksys_lang has been updated

To set a language on the KSYS node, run the following command:
```
LANG=<language>
```
Example:
```
LANG=DE_DE
```

To verify locale settings, run any of the following commands:

LANG=en_US ksysmgr query system | grep "KSYS Language"

An output that is similar to the following screen is displayed:

KSYS Language: DE_DE

locale

An output that is similar to the following screen is displayed:

LANG=DE_DE
        LC_COLLATE="DE_DE"
        LC_CTYPE="DE_DE"
        LC_MONETARY="DE_DE"
        LC_NUMERIC="DE_DE"
        LC_TIME="DE_DE"
        LC_MESSAGES="DE_DE"
        LC_ALL=

After you configure locale settings in your KSYS subsystem and the KSYS node, the operation progress, status, and error messages are displayed in your preferred language.
