Changing Your System Locale Setting

To change the Locale setting on the Workspace Properties worksheet (and in the .OWdefaults file as explained in Simplified Chinese Solaris System Administrator's Guide):

1. Access the Workspace Properties Locale worksheet.

2. Change the Locale setting by choosing U.S.A. or China on the Basic Locale menu.

   The English and the Simplified Chinese versions of this worksheet appear as follows. In this example, China is selected as the locale.

   

3. Click the Apply button to set the locale on the system.

   The English version of this menu is on the left and the Simplified Chinese equivalent is on the right.

   

   Clicking Apply then applies these settings, overwriting your current .OWdefaults file. This file contains the start-up settings OpenWindows uses to start your applications. For explanations of the contents and functions of the .OWdefaults file, refer to Solaris Internationalization Guide for Developers and Simplified Chinese Solaris System Administrator's Guide.
