Information Builders provides National Language Support and Localized Version support for WebFOCUS and App Studio in select languages. Requests for additional languages may be submitted by contacting Customer Support Services and opening a New Feature Request.
For information regarding earlier releases, see the Technical Support page.
National Language Support (NLS) involves reading and interpreting data stored in code pages that represent the character sets of various international languages. Information Builders' proprietary NLS application programming interface (API) code-page architecture transcodes data between application client and server components and manages all sorting, case conversion, and formatting for dates, currency, and numbers.
A localized version is a software product in which the user interface (for example, menus and utilities) appears in a particular language. Information Builders localized versions are positional. Each button or menu choice is always in the same relative position in the product, and only the text of the labels changes. Therefore, it is easy for anyone who is familiar with an Information Builders' product in one language to support that product in another language.
Localized versions have complete National Language Support (NLS) capability. You can access data for any supported language, with all national characters processed, displayed, and printed correctly.
WebFOCUS Reporting Server Release supports the following code pages for data processing:
