Localization
HOD Hex Client supports multiple Host Code pages such as United States (037), Sweden (278), Sweden Euro (1143) etc.
- As a prerequisite, the user must have Swedish Host Code page supported host.
- The user can see the green screen with the default Host Code page (United States) if an unsupported host is connected.
- The user can modify the Host Code page as per their requirements if this property is unlocked by the admin in the property panel.
- The Host Code page defined by the admin is displayed if this property is locked by the admin.
- The Host Code page is set to default (United states) if admin defines the Host Code page that is not supported in HOD Hex Client.
- After setting up the Host Code page, the green screen reflects the changes.
Globalization
Introduction and requirements:
HOD Hex Client provides multiple languages support. The HOD Hex Client users can view the UI elements in all supported 23 languages based on their locales. The property panel, settings panel, alerts, OIA messages. etc., have been globalized throughout the product. As a pre-requisite, the desired language should be added to the browser.

This can be achieved in two ways:
At first the HOD Hex Client page can be viewed based on the browser preferred language order to view web pages set at the client side. If multiple supported language is added, based on the preference order the default browser language will be considered. If an unsupported language is detected at browser level, then the HOD Hex Client page will be viewed in the default language of the product i.e English.
The second path would be for the Admin to have a control over the browser preference language (display Locale). This can be done by setting two parameters in ‘web.properties’ file that resides under HOD publish directory.
The path of the directory:
C:\Program Files\ibm\HostOnDemand\HOD\web.properties
The parameters that can be defined by Admin are ‘preferredLocale=en, cs’ and ‘defaultLocale=ja’ to have a control over the browser locale.
If the browser locale / language is one of the locale defined in the ‘preferredLocale’ parameter, then the page is viewed in that language else the web page will be viewed in locale defined in ‘defaultLocale’ parameter.
If ‘defaultLocale’ is not defined and unsupported language is detected in browser, then the page will be viewed in ‘English’.
