Customizing FM/IMS for national languages

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

If you are using Japanese or Korean, and have installed the FM/IMS 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 all of the customization tasks listed in Summary of steps for customizing FM/IMS for a national language.
