Tips for Language Selection |
This section describes all the interfaces where the language (locale) can be changed in the Sun Ray server software as well as specific language issues.
This appendix covers the following topics:
The web-based administration application is localized in the following four languages:
When you log in to the web-based administration application, the login page (see FIGURE 7-2 on page 96) defaults to the server's default locale as specified in the Sun Ray configuration file /etc/opt/SUNWut/utadmin.conf.
You can override this default locale for your current administration login session by selecting a different locale from the Language pulldown menu on the login page (see FIGURE 7-2 on page 96). For more detail, see the utadmin.conf(4) man page.
When the Sun Ray server is configured with an authentication policy that enables self-registration, the self-registration GUI that is displayed to the user is localized in the following 10 languages:
The self-registration GUI detects the locale to use from the operating system's default locale via some environment variables. To change the locale that is displayed, edit the /etc/default/init file and specify the desired locale using the LC_ALL or LC_CTYPE, or LANG variable. Setting the LANG variable is the preferred method. Rebooting the server is not necessary. See the init(1M) man page for the default values and more information.
Input to the Self-Registration GUI
Note - Note that this file specifies the default environment variables that are passed to any process started on this server.
The Self-registration GUI only supports the input of ASCII characters. It does not support input of non-ASCII characters (for example, Asian characters or European letters that use diacritic marks). Contact your site system administrator to input these characters via the administration application (GUI or the command-line interface).
Note - The language selection that is done for the self-registration GUI is so that the GUI and related messages are presented in the selected language.
Users can choose in which language to view the Sun Ray 1 Settings GUI.
The Sun Ray 1 Settings GUI is localized in the following 10 languages:
When the user starts an X windows session on the dtlogin page, the user can select a different language from Options->Language pulldown menu. The selection the user makes here is automatically detected by the Sun Ray 1 Settings GUI. See the utsettings(1) man page for more information.
If you use admintool(1m) to create a new user account whose login shell is not the C shell, admintool copies /etc/skel/local.profile as the .profile file for the user in the users's home directory. This .profile file has the following line that disables the user's input of 8-bit characters on a terminal:
stty istrip
If the users need to have 8-bit character input, delete this line from their .profile file or modify the /etc/skel/local.profile file before creating new user accounts with admintool.
Note - C-shell user's have 8-bit character input on a terminal by default.
If the Henkan key for traditional Chinese or Hangul key for Korean (multiple key mode toggle switch) does not work and you want it to, then use the properties setting for the htt(1) to select the toggle of your choice.
