NAME

       Swedish, swedish - Introduction to Swedish language support

DESCRIPTION

       This reference page describes the coded character set (codeset), locale, device, and other kinds of support for the Swedish language.

   Codesets
       The operating system supports the following codesets for Swedish 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 iso8859-1(5) for more
	      information.  ISO 8859-15 (ISO Latin-9)

	      ISO8859-15 is the string that represents this codeset in the names of locales and codeset converters.  See  iso8859-15(5)  for  more
	      information.  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
	      Unicode(5) for more information.	PC code pages

	      cp437, cp850, cp865, and cp1252 are the strings that represent these encoding formats  in  the  names  of  codeset  converters.  See
	      code_page(5) 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 Swedish locales: sv_SE.ISO8859-1, sv_SE.ISO8859-15, and sv_SE.UTF-8, for Sweden

	      Of these locales, only sv_SE.ISO8859-15 and sv_SE.UTF-8 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 Swedish characters printed on the keys:

       ----------------------------------------------
       VT Style (105/108 keys)	 PC Style (102 keys)
       ----------------------------------------------
       LK201-LM 		 LK442-RA
       LK201-NM 		 LK444-AM
       LK401-AM 		 LK471-AF
       LK411-AM 		 LK47W-AF
       LK450-AM 		 LK97W-AF
       LK451-AM 		 PCXAL-AM
       LK461-AM 		 PCXAL-CA
       LK46W-AM 		 PCXAL-JA
				 PCXAL-MA
       ----------------------------------------------

       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 Swedish-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.
