Most operating systems are now available in localized versions for many languages. In some cases, such as UNIX, you specify the locale for a single version of the operating system. Localized versions of operating systems work the same way as Information Builders localized versions, meaning they are functionally equivalent and positional. If you are familiar with one localized version of the product, you can use any other localized version, even if you are not familiar with the language.
The major difference between the various localized versions is the provision of special Input Method Editors (IMEs) for Far Eastern Chinese, Japanese languages and other scripts. The Far Eastern CJK languages use a more complicated method of generating ideographic input than simply pressing a single key for each written symbol. The CJK languages generally use IMEs, which are typically included in the computer operating system. There are several standard input methods for each of the CJK languages, and operating systems often support more than one. Refer to your operating system documentation for details.
