Note –

This release of the Java Desktop System includes some localizations in other languages. These localizations are taken from the GNOME community and Sun Microsystems does not take any responsibility for the completeness or accuracy of these localizations.

Only the locales shown in this table are supported as login locale. If you want to add unsupported legacy locales such as zh_TW.big5 on your login screen, remove the comment tags surrounding the entries for the locales in /etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias and reboot your system.

See the "Migration To Unicode Multilingual Computing" chapter in Java Desktop System Release 3 Administration Guide for more information about the UTF-8 locale environment.
