2.2 Specifying a Partition's Multilingual Attributes

It is recommended that all partitions are defined as multilingual.

To provide multilingual support within a partition you must define the languages you want to work with in the partition.

For both Visual LANSA and IBM i, a new partition is automatically defined as multilingual and a default language is specified for the partition.

Any other languages must be defined manually.

LANSA on an IBM i

For an IBM i Master system you change the new partition after it has been created using the Housekeeping option Change partition being worked with. After selecting the partition you wish to work with, use the Housekeeping option Work with partition multilingual attributes to set up or review the multilingual attributes of the partition.

Select the language and options you need for your partition. Advice for each option is in this guide.

Visual LANSA

In a Visual LANSA Slave or Independent System, after creating a partition or changing a partition to be multilingual you define the supported languages using the Language Settings tab on the Partition definition.

You can define any number of languages (from any of the language groups) that are to be supported within the partition. The definition of a language includes these options:

Partition identifier	Language settings	Ideographic character conversion
2.2.1 Language Code 2.2.2 Language Description	2.2.3 Partition Description 2.2.4 IBM i EBCDIC CCSID 2.2.5 Windows ANSI code page 2.2.6 ISO language code 2.2.7 Default Language 2.2.8 Development Language 2.2.9 DBCS support required 2.2.10 RLTB support required 2.2.11 Locale uppercasing required	2.2.12 IGC required 2.2.13 IGC Function Key 2.2.14 IGC Description 2.2.15 IGC Line Number
