Chapter 2 Introduction to the Traditional Chinese Solaris Software

This chapter describes the design of the Traditional Chinese Solaris software, and the locales supported in the Traditional Chinese Solaris system. The chapter discusses the following topics:

Design of the Traditional Chinese Solaris Operating System

The Traditional Chinese localization of the internationalized release of CDE provides two work environments: a user environment and a developer environment. Each environment is localized to handle the linguistic and cultural conventions that are unique to the Traditional Chinese language.

The user environment has desktop tools and a window manager (dtwm) that are customized to communicate in the language of a particular locale.
The development environment provides internationalized versions of Xlib and Motif that programmers use to develop localized applications. For further information, see the International Language Environments Guide.
