Re: Multilanguage support questions

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Out of curiousity, what types of problems did you encounter with i5/OS national language support and European languages?  There are certainly application design issues that must be considered when internationalizing applications that were not written with NLS in mind, but in general the NLS capabilities for European (and other) languages are considered to be quite good.

  Bonjour Denis,

I never found that the NLS stuff worked very well anywhere in Europe! Hmmm, 
maybe you could do something like with customising the signon screen - 
remember when we used to do that?? If you could identify the screen format 
used by the password change pgm, you could just modify it so that it 
displays the message in both French and English. Or if it uses a message 
member, you could do the same to the message text....just a thought,

cheers,

Clare
