Setting Up International Versions of the PT Admin Application on Windows NT 4.0

If you intend to use the PT Admin application in a language other than English, there are a number of tasks that you must perform in order to set up the client computer environment to accept input, display UI using specific language(s), and alternate between languages. Note that Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 or 98 support only languages that can be written in, or transliterated into, the Roman alphabet. Unless you are running an operating system that has been designed for a specific locale, such as Asia, these systems do not support input of characters from writing systems used for non-Western languages such as Arabic or Japanese. The following topics are covered in this section. How to:

• Install the required language(s) on your computer.
• Update the conventions that make up the user locale. These conventions include date, time currency, and so forth used in a specific linguistic region.
• Update the list of input locales. Some languages have regional variations. An input locale specifies the locale of the language that will be used as input to the keyboard. If you will be using a language-specific keyboard to input the language, you can specify the layout of the keyboard when adding the input locale.
• Switch between languages.
• Update the list of languages that the browser (Internet Explorer 5) recognizes.

Note No special setup is required for a server computer that is simply handling page requests from clients.
