National language and multilingual support
The iSeries server with i5/OS is a worldwide product that addresses many
country (region)-unique requirements. For different countries
(regions)/languages, specific support is provided, either with translated
machine-readable information (MRI), such as screens and messages, or with
keyboards and displays on the local or remote workstation twinaxial controller.
Multilingual support allows multiple users on the same system to operate in
different languages. This means that system messages, displays, and help
information, as well as user applications, can be presented to the end user in
their national language.
Note: V5R2 of OS/400 does not run on models of the AS/400 system based
on internal microprogram instruction (IMPI) processors (CISC models) and
some earlier RISC models, namely, the Bxx, Cxx, Dxx, Exx, Fxx, 100, 135,
140, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 500, 510, and 530.
