Customizing FM/Db2 for national languages

You can customize FM/Db2 for national languages other than English.

If you are using Japanese or Korean, and you have installed the FM/Db2 Japanese or Korean components, you might not need to perform any other customization for the Japanese or Korean national languages.

If you are using a language other than English, Japanese or Korean, you will need to perform the customization tasks listed in Summary of steps for customizing FM/Db2 for a national language. Perform ALL these steps (except Step 9).

You can also, optionally, translate the object list utility panel titles, column headings, and SQL statements. If you want to do this, perform step 9.
