Internationalization refers to the Unisys software, firmware, and hardware features that enable you to develop and run application systems that can be customized to meet the needs of a specific language, culture, or business environment. The internationalization features provide support for several character sets, different international business and cultural conventions, extensions to data communications protocols, and the ability to use one or more natural languages concurrently.
This section describes the internationalization features you can use to customize an application for the language and conventions of a particular locality. Using these features to write or modify an application is termed localization. The MultiLingual System (MLS) environment enables you to localize your applications. Some of the localization methods included in the MLS environment include translating messages to another language, choosing a particular character set to be used for data processing, and defining date, time, number, and currency formats for a particular business application.
In addition to the information described in this section, refer to the MultiLingual System Administration, Operations, and Programming Guide for information. The MultiLingual System Administration, Operations, and Programming Guide provides definitions for, and detailed information about, the ccs versions, character sets, languages, and conventions provided by Unisys. It also provides procedures for setting system values for the internationalization features.
