How Language Selection Works

The interactive installer runs in the language specified by the operating system locale setting on the host. The following languages are available:

• English

• French

• German

• Japanese

• Korean

• Spanish

• Simplified Chinese

• Traditional Chinese

If your operating system language is not listed, the installer runs in English.

The installer automatically installs English versions of all components. In addition, you can choose to install the localized packages for all languages by selecting the multilingual packages when components are selected for installation.

The installer cannot install additional language packages for previously-installed components. However, you can use the pkgadd, rpm, or swinstall utilities to install language package at any time. Language packages are list in Chapter 5, List of Installable Packages, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Reference for UNIX.
