A potential new project involves translation of one of our
products into Turkish. As luck would have it, the
Affirmative Twinax Yestation we bought last year as a new
console terminal happens to speak Turkish (and French, and
German, and . . .)
For language, it has 2 Turkish versions: "Turkish" and
"New Turkish." The latter, which comes up as KBDTYPE
"TRB", appears to be a close match with an EBCDIC Code
Page 1026 chart one of my colleagues found, but the former
(which comes up as KBDTYPE "TKB") shows a very different
code page, with (among other oddball characters he says
aren't actually used in Turkish) H-strikeout (upper and
lowercase), J with various diacriticals, and so forth, and
lacking right-curly-brace and right-square-bracket.
Anybody know what I'm looking at?
And while I'm at it, any 5250 data stream or TN5250 gurus
out there who know how a terminal (or TN5250 client) is
supposed to tell the system its KBDTYPE?
