Translating the message text

All FM/Db2 messages are stored in the FMN2MENU source member. This CSECT is part of the root module so that an English version of the messages is always available. In addition, all messages used by FM/Db2 under ISPF are provided in the library, FMN.SFMNMENU. Using both FMN2MENU and members in FMN.SFMNMENU, you can provide your own set of translated messages. To use the messages you have translated, see Using the translated messages and panels.

To provide translated versions of the messages, you must provide a version of FMN2MENU for your language, as described in Providing a multicultural version of FMN2MENU, and provide translated versions of the appropriate members in FMN.SFMNMENU, as described in Translating the ISPF messages text.

You should not need to provide a Japanese or a Korean version of the messages if you have installed the FM/Db2 Japanese or Korean components.
