Installation of language packs

To generate the directory server messages in languages other than English, you must install language packs for the languages you want to use.

IBM® Installation Manager can install all the language packs that are available for the operating system if you select an installation feature from the full installer. The language packs are installed in the nls subdirectory in the IBM Security Directory Server installation location.

Note: You do not require to install language packs for the client. You can install language packs for the client if you want to generate messages in a language other than English for the idslink and idsrmlink commands. For information about the idslink and idsrmlink commands, see the Command Reference.

You can install language packs with IBM Installation Manager or with operating system utilities on AIX® and Linux® systems. Language pack installation with IBM Installation Manager is provided with the IBM Security Directory Server full product installer.

Remember: Language pack installation with IBM Installation Manager is supported only on AIX, Linux on the AMD64/EM64T architecture, and Microsoft Windows computers. On operating systems that support IBM Security Directory Server installation with IBM Installation Manager, you must not manually install language packs with operating system utilities. If for your operating system installation of language packs with IBM Installation Manager is not supported, use the operating utilities for installation of language packs.
