       Spanish, spanish - Introduction to Spanish language support

DESCRIPTION

       This reference page describes the codeset, locale, device, and other kinds of support for the Spanish language.

   Codesets
       The  operating  system supports the following coded character sets (codesets) for Spanish by means of locales, codeset converters, or both:
       ISO 8859-1 (ISO Latin-1)

	      ISO8859-1 is the string that represents this codeset in the names of locales and codeset converters. See the iso8859-1(5)  reference
	      page.  ISO 8859-15 (ISO Latin-9)

	      ISO8859-15  is  the string that represents this codeset in the names of locales and codeset converters. See the iso8859-15(5) refer-
	      ence page.  UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8

	      UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8 are the strings that represent these encoding formats in the names of locales and  codeset  converters.  See
	      the Unicode(5) reference page for more information.  PC code pages

	      cp437, cp850, and cp1250 are the strings that represent these codesets in the names of codeset converters. See the code_page(5) ref-
	      erence page for more information.

       See the i18n_intro(5) and l10n_intro(5) reference pages for introductory information on codesets. The iconv_intro(5)  reference	page  dis-
       cusses codeset converters and how to use them.

   Locales
       The operating system supports the following Spanish locales: es_ES.ISO8859-1, es_ES.ISO8859-15, and es_ES.UTF-8, for Spain

       Of these locales, only the and locales support the euro currency sign.

       You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to find out which locales are installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information on
       setting locale from the operating system command line.

       For the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you set locale by setting the session language. To do this, use the Language menu  accessed  from
       the Options button of the Login window.

   Keyboards
       The operating system supports the following VT style and PC style keyboards with Spanish characters printed on the keys:

       ----------------------------------------------
       VT Style (105/108 keys)	 PC Style (102 keys)
       ----------------------------------------------
       LK201-LS 		 LK442-PR
       LK401-AS 		 LK442-PS
       LK411-AS 		 LK444-AR
       LK450-AS 		 LK444-AS
       LK461-AS 		 LK471-AR
       LK46W-AS 		 LK471-AS
				 LK47W-AS
				 LK97W-AR
				 LK97W-AS
				 PCXAL-AS
				 PCXAL-FS
				 PCXAL-GS
				 PCXAL-KS
       ----------------------------------------------

       For your keyboard to function correctly with your system, you must load a keyboard mapping table (keymap) that is appropriate for your key-
       board's model and language. If you load a keymap that does not correspond to your keyboard's model and language, your keyboard behavior	is
       unpredictable.  The label located on the bottom surface of a keyboard usually specifies its model (five letter code) and language (two let-
       ter code). See the keyboard(5) reference page for general information on keymaps and instructions for loading them  in  different  formats.
       The following tables supply Spanish-specific information that you need when loading keymaps.

       Keyboards can have keys with characters printed on both the left and right half of the keycap. The way you set or use your keyboard to send
       different sets of characters varies from one keyboard model to another. Furthermore, your keyboard allows you to enter more characters than
       those printed on the keycaps. Refer to the keyboard(5) reference page for information on how to enter characters.

   Printers
       PostScript fonts for languages supported by the ISO 8859-1 codeset are printer resident. See the i18n_printing(5) reference page for a gen-
       eral discussion of your printing options.
