Chapter 3 Localization in the Solaris Environment
This chapter discusses the localization features in the current Solaris
environment. The chapter covers the following topics.
Software Support for Localization
This section contains information about
the Solaris locale packages, CD-ROM discs, localization functions, and script
enabling.
Summary of the Solaris Locale Packages
All current Solaris locale packages are classified into either full
locales or partial locales.
Partial locales are the enablers of the locales. With partial locales
installed on the system, users can input, display, print text, and run applications
on the target locales, while the OS/GUI messages in the Solaris Operating System are English.
All partial locale packages are available on the Solaris Software CDs. Japanese
and Asian partial locales are packaged according to the language. Partial
locales are packaged according to the geographic region.
Full locale packages include translations of software messages, online help
files, optional fonts, and language-specific features. Full locale packages
provide the full set of language features for many languages. All locales
based on the following languages are full locales:
-
German
-
French
-
Spanish
-
Swedish
-
Italian
-
Japanese
-
Korean
-
Simplified Chinese
-
Traditional Chinese
Full locale packages are packaged according to the language and are
available on the Language CD.
Note –
Partial locale packages (locale enablers) must be installed in
order for the full locales to be functional.
During the Solaris installation process, you are prompted to choose
which geographic regions require your support. The locale support that is
available after installation completes depends on the choices made at this
stage. Partial locales are installed from the Solaris Software CD-ROMs with
the Solaris Operating System and full locales are installed from the Languages CD. If you
do not need full locale support, you can skip the installation from the Languages
CD during the installation process. Note that the English locale is installed
as the default.
Supported Locales
The following
tables list all the locales supported in the Solaris environment. The locale
names conform to international naming standards.

Multiple Key Compose Sequences for Locales
Many of the Solaris locales, especially the European and Unicode locales,
allow input of various characters by using so-called “dead key sequences,”
which are also known as Compose key sequences.
The Compose key sequence is used to input characters with diacritical
marks and other characters that are not shown on the keyboard key caps.
The following table shows a few examples of Compose key sequences. For
more complete information about the Compose key sequences, see English/European Input Mode.
Table 3–13 Diacritical Characters Created With Compose Key
|

|
Compose Key Combination
|
Example
|
|
Dieresis
|
”
|
Compose A “ —> A with diaeresis
|
|
Caron
|
v
|
Compose Z v —> Z with caron
|
|
Breve
|
u
|
Compose G u —> G with breve
|
|
Ogonek
|
a
|
Compose A a —> A with Ogonek
|
|
Cedilla
|
,
|
Compose K , —> K with cedilla
|
|
Registered Sign
|
R O
|
Compose R O —> Registered sign
|
|
Inverted Exclamation Mark
|
! !
|
Compose ! ! —> Inverted
Exclamation Mark
|
Note –
A compose key sequence cannot produce a character unless the character
is a part of the code set in the current locale. For example, because no Z
with a caron is in the ISO8859–1 codeset, you cannot input a Z with
a caron in the en_US.ISO8859–1 locale.
Keyboard Support in the Solaris Environment
Keyboards with different layouts for specific
regions are supported for SPARC and Intel Architecture (IA) platforms. The Solaris Operating System
supports the regional keyboards listed in the following table.

For regions with keyboard layouts that conform to the international
standard, such as China, use the keyboard layout support provided for the
U.S.A. to input the locale's characters. The underlying keyboard mappings
are identical. Some countries, like Japan, Turkey, and Switzerland, have multiple
keyboards, because multiple languages are being used, or because multiple
keyboard layouts exist.
Sun Type 4, 5, and 5c keyboards use Sun I/O interfaces through a Mini
DIN 8–pin connection. Sun Type 6 keyboards have two versions of interfaces:
Sun keyboard types are printed on the back of each Sun keyboard.
PC keyboards use various interfaces, such as PS/2 or USB, for example.
Changing Between Keyboards on SPARC Systems
You can change keyboard layouts on a Solaris system by using
the DIP switch settings under most Sun Type 4, 5 and 5c keyboards. A list
of keyboard type, names and corresponding layout IDs that can be used for
the DIP switch settings is in the /usr/openwin/share/etc/keytables/keytable.map file.
Note –
You cannot change the layout of Type 6 keyboards because the back
of the keyboard has no DIP switch. Some Type 5 and 5c keyboards, for example,
U.S.A., U.S.A./UNIX, and Japanese keyboards have jumpers instead of DIP switches.
Aside from utilities such as xmodmap(1), neither the SPARC
platform nor the IA platform offers utilities or tools that you can use to
switch keyboards.
The following is a table of the layout ID values for Type 4, 5,
and 5c keyboards (1 = switch up, 0 = switch down).

Keytable file names with 4 are for a Type 4 keyboard.
Keytable file names with 5 are for a Type 5 keyboard.
How to Change the Keyboard Layout to the Czech Layout
-
Determine the correct DIP switch ID (or layout ID) either from the table
or from the /usr/openwin/share/etc/keytables/keytable.mp
file. The layout ID value in the keytable.mp file is
a decimal value.
For Czech, the layout ID is 53 in decimal (0x35 in hexadecimal).
-
Convert the layout ID to binary, or use a proper Setting in Binary value
from the column in the above table. For base conversion, calculator utilities
such as dtcalc(1) may be used.
For example, the correct binary value for the Czech keyboard is 110101.
-
Shut down and power off the system.
-
Change the DIP switch settings at the back of the keyboard by using
the binary value in step 2.
The first DIP switch is on your left. Move the switch up for 1 and down
for 0.
The Czech keyboard binary value 110101, corresponds to: Up Up Down Up
Down Up
-
Power on and boot the system for use.
Note –
Unlike Type 4 keyboards, Type 5 and 5c keyboards have only five
DIP switches. For the Type 5 and 5c keyboards, disregard the first binary
digit. For the Czech Type 5c keyboard, for example, the correct DIP switch
settings are Up Down Up Down Up, using only the last five digits from 10101.
Changing Between Keyboards on Intel Systems
On Intel
Architecture systems, a keyboard is selected during the kdmconfig(1M) part of the installation. To change this setting after installation,
exit your GUI desktop environment to the command-line mode. As superuser,
type kdmconfig to run the program. Follow the instructions
to get the desired keyboard layout.
