Ito Gui Considerations - HP -UX B6941-90001 Administrator's Reference Manual

TIP
ITO Language Support
Language Support on the Management Server
locale settings used to start the ITO processes must be compatible to the
database character set. All input data on the management server must
be given in this character set.

ITO GUI Considerations

ITO uses the setting of the environment variable LANG, to determine
the language of the message catalog and the GUI. When starting the ITO
GUI, the following settings for this variable are supported:
C, *.iso88591, *.roman8
ja_JP.SJIS
In the Japanese version of ITO, most text entry fields in the GUI allow
you to enter more characters than the database accepts. ITO returns a
corresponding error message and asks you to reduce the number of
entered characters.
Note that the Message Browser displays 8-bit characters (characters of
the code value 128 or higher) as dots when LANG is set to C or
C.iso88591. This only affects how messages are displayed in the GUI; the
contents of the ITO database remain unchanged.
ITO also supports running an English ITO GUI in a Japanese
environment. In this case, however, although you are running on a
Japanese management server you will receive messages and some labels
in Japanese, due to various HP OpenView platform restrictions.
If your management server is in a Japanese environment, but you want
to receive English messages, set the following language variables as
shown: LANG=ja_JP.SJIS, and LC_MESSAGES=C.
When working with international keyboards, make sure that you have
set the KBD_LANG variable accordingly. For example, to enter German
text containing an umlaut into the ITO GUI:
KBD_LANG=de_DE.iso88591; export KBD_LANG
Important X-Resources used by ITO:
The fonts used through the resources described below must be
compatible with the internal character set used by the management
server. In other words, if you run an environment using the ISO8859-1
character set, your fonts should be iso8859-1 fonts. If not, some labels or
messages may not display correctly.
