ID: Q151701

The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0
IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry.
Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it if
a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the "Restoring
the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help
topic in Regedt32.exe.
SUMMARY
This article describes how to manually add codepages for languages not
supported, by default, in Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51 and 4.0, so that the
Microsoft Exchange Server computer supports Microsoft Exchange Clients running
on different language operating systems.
NOTE: Running English Exchange Clients on double-byte character set (DBCS) operating systems is not supported and is not recommended by
Microsoft, because the English Exchange Clients are not enabled
for DBCS operating systems, and have not been tested on DBCS operating
systems. This article is provided for non-DBCS operating systems.
Microsoft provides a tool, the National Language Support (NLS) Configuration tool, that automates the
process of configuring an Exchange Server computer to support a
variety of languages by installing all the codepage files. This tool is
included in the Microsoft Exchange 4.0 Resource Kit, which can be
found on the Microsoft TechNet compact disc or at the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/backoffice/downloads/default.asp?product=5
MORE INFORMATION
If you want an Exchange Server computer running on Windows NT Server version 3.51 or 4.0 to
support Exchange Clients running on different language operating
systems, you must install codepages for those languages on the
Exchange Server computer. If these codepages are not installed on
the Exchange Server computer, the client receives the
following error message:
The Microsoft Exchange Server computer is not configured to support your
codepage, and can't log on to the Exchange Server.
You must add codepages manually for those languages that are not
supported in the Language list. You can find all the NLS files in the Microsoft Exchange
4.0 Resource Kit, with the NLS Configuration tool. To manually add codepages, you need to edit the registry.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor
can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and
Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in
Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.
If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency
Repair Disk (ERD).
- Copy the codepage file to the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory, and then
name the file C_ANSI codepage ID.nls, for example, the C_950.nls file.
-
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
- Locate the following key in the registry:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage - On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: the ANSI Codepage ID
Data Type: REG_SZ
String: the file name of this codepage file
- Locate the following key in the registry:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language - On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: the Windows Locale ID
Data Type: REG_SZ
String: l_intl.nls
The following table lists some locales that Microsoft currently supports.
