Catalan, catalan - Introduction to Catalan language support
This reference page describes the codeset, locale, device,
and other kinds of support for the Catalan language.
Codesets [Toc] [Back]
The operating system supports the following coded character
sets (codeset) for Catalan: ISO 8859-1 (ISO Latin-1)
ISO8859-1 is the string that represents this codeset
in the names of locales and other system files.
See iso8859-1(5) for more information about the ISO
Latin-1 codeset. ISO 8859-15 (ISO Latin-9)
ISO8859-15 is the string that represents this codeset
in the names of locales and other system files.
See iso8859-15(5) for more information about the
ISO Latin-9 codeset. UTF-16, UCS-4, and UTF-8
UTF-16, UCS-4, and UTF-8 are the strings that represent
these codesets in the names of system files.
See Unicode(5) for more information about these
encoding formats. PC code-page formats
cp437, cp850, and cp1250 are the strings that represent
these encoding formats in the names of system
files. See code_page(5) for more information
about these encoding formats.
See i18n_intro(5) and l10n_intro(5) for introductory
information on codesets and iconv_intro(5) for information
on codeset conversion.
Locales [Toc] [Back]
The operating system supports the following Catalan
locales: ca_ES.ISO8859-1, ca_ES.ISO8859-15, and
ca_ES.UTF-8, for Spain
The ca_ES.ISO8859-15 and ca_ES.UTF-8 locales use the euro
symbol for currency. Because the ca_ES.ISO8859-1 locale
repertoire does not contain the euro symbol, it continues
to use the peseta currency symbol.
You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to find out
which locales are installed on your system. See
i18n_intro(5) for information on setting locale from the
operating system command line.
In the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you need to set a
locale by setting the session language. To do this, from
the Options menu of the Login window, choose Language.
Then, from the Language options menu, choose a session
language.
