Full and Partial Locales

A full Solaris locale has all of the listed functions and the localized system messages in the relevant language. Partial locales have no localized messages installed. All locales in the Solaris environment are capable of displaying localized messages, provided that localized messages for the relevant language are installed. For example, the following locales can be either partial or full locales:

• de_DE.ISO8859–1

• de_DE.ISO8859–15

• de_DE.UTF-8

• de_AT.ISO8859–1

• de_AT.ISO8859–15

• de_CH.ISO8859–1

When the German message translations are installed using the Language CD, all of the above locales become full locales because they have access to a fully translated desktop. The language CD contains message translations for the following languages and locales:

• German

• French

• Spanish

• Swedish

• Italian

• Japanese

• Korean

• Simplified Chinese locale

• Traditional Chinese locale

All partial locales are available on the Software CD. Message translations are available on the Languages CD.

All English locales are also full locales and are available on the Software CD.
