Overview and Examples

Localization configurations are set using JavaOS properties, which are delivered to the JavaStation computer when it boots. The following sections describe the JavaOS properties used for localization. For complete instructions on setting JavaOS properties, see Chapter 4, JavaOS Properties .

JavaOS Properties for All Locales

The following JavaOS properties are required for all locales:

• javaos.mountlist

• user.language

• javaos.loginLocaleList

The following property is required for all locales except West European locales:

• -Dfile.encoding

The following property is required for all Asian locales:

• -djavaos.im.url

The following property is required if you are running HotJava Browser on the JavaStation computers:

• -Ddoc.url=file:/REMOTE/hotjava

Other properties may also be required for the locale you intend to support. Each feature description in this chapter indicates the associated property settings and the locales that require them.
