Design of the Simplified Chinese Solaris Software

This software is a Simplified Chinese localization of the Sun^TM Solaris operating environment. The Simplified Chinese Solaris software includes the Simplified Chinese Common Desktop Environment (CDE) for windowed applications that are built on Sun's Solaris operating environment.

Simplified Chinese Solaris software is an extension of base Solaris software. Virtually all utilities and features of the U.S. and International Solaris standard releases are incorporated in Simplified Chinese Solaris software. These products introduce Solaris input methods for the input and output of Simplified Chinese. Application programs and CDE use the features of Simplified Chinese CDE to communicate with users in Simplified Chinese.

This Simplified Chinese localization of Sun's internationalized CDE includes enhancements for handling appropriate linguistic and cultural conventions, which it provides to two broad working environments:

• A localized user environment, which includes localized desktop tools and window manager (dtwm) that communicate with users in Simplified Chinese.

• A localized development environment, which programmers use to develop localized applications, with Xlib and Motif, which have been internationalized for this use. Programmer and developers should refer to International Language Environments Guide.
