If you order your Workstation with a specific language configured at the factory, the system will "wake up" in that language the first time you turn it on. If you later decide to change the language, you will have to make sure the proper locales are loaded on your system and, if not, load them from the Core OS media. All available languages are included on the Core OS media. See “Loading Locales from the Core OS Media”.

Language Selection on Pre-loaded Systems

On Workstation systems that are shipped from the factory with all languages installed, the system will first "wake up" in English, then you must choose which language you want to use. You can customize the user interface for many different languages and for several user situations. Various elements such as screens, default languages, fonts, input (keyboard) methods and icons can also be changed. In addition, the menus, online help and error messages are available in multiple languages.

For complete instructions on how to choose your language on these systems, see the section “Managing the LANG Environment Variable”.
