This appendix contains information relating to international installations of the calendar server.
The server uses UTF-8, an 8 bit encoding of 16 bit UNICODE, to achieve an international character representation. Data passed to the server must be converted from the source character set to UTF-8. When the data is read from the server, it once again passes through a conversion from UTF-8 to the character set defined on the display device. This functionality is crucial in heterogeneous environments where data may be entered in one character set and retrieved in another.
The utf8_autoconvert
parameter in the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini
file controls the conversion and storage of calendar data in the UTF-8 format. By default, this feature is enabled. See the calendar server Reference Manual, Appendix B, "Server Parameters," for information on the utf8_autoconvert
parameter.
In order to successfully complete the conversion to or from UTF-8, the server must know the source or destination character set. The character set used by the directory server is defined by the parameter [LDAP]
charset
in the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini
file (see the calendar server Reference Manual, Appendix B, "Server Parameters," for information on this parameter). Client character sets are either identified explicitly to the server by the application itself, or determined based on the operating system of the client. If necessary, it is possible to manually set the definition of the client character set by inserting the appropriate parameter in the [LOCALE]
section of the unison.ini
file.
If installing the server on a Japanese operating system, the following parameters in the /users/unison/misc/unison.ini
file should be set to the indicated values. See the calendar server Reference Manual, Appendix B, "Server Parameters," for more detailed explanations of the function of each parameter.
[ENG] localcharset= MSCP932 [CWS] mimecontentcharset=Shift_JIS mailhdrtoname=FALSE [LOCALE] charsetwindows=MSCP932 charsetCGI=Shift_JIS
See also the documentation concerning the [CWS] emailcharsetmap
parameter.
The calendar server offers users e-mail and SMS reminders in the language of their choice.
Set a user's language through the uniuser
utility with the "LANG
" key. Consult Reference Appendix C, "Utilities," for full information on use and syntax. The following example sets Herman Hesse's language to German:
uniuser -mod "S=Hesse/G=Herman" -m "LANG=de-DE" -n 14
Alternately, you may use the user.ini
[GEN]
Language
parameter to specify a default language to apply to all new users. Consult Reference Appendix A, "User and Resource Parameters," for details on available languages and parameter values.
