Installing Hong Kong Locale
Any help appreciated. I am connecting (FTP) to a NAS PRO box that is currently installed on one of our subnets in Hong Kong from a Solaris
system running Solaris 10 (our backup server). The NAS box has a backup job that backs up all user documents locally. I am trying to ftp the docs from the NAS to our backup server however the docs are saved in Chinese characters (Hong Kong).

I have tried installing the Hong Kong Traditional Chinese Localization by doing the following:

Code:
 
# localeadm -a zh_HK -d /cdrom/sol_10_305_lang_sparc
Log file is /var/sadm/install/logs/localeadmin_install.2010-04-09.7
 
locale/region name is zh_hk
 
Warning! You have chosen the zh_HK locale rather than a region to install.
This locale is part of the Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) region. If you choose to continue, all of the locales in this region will
 be installed.
 
Do you wish to continue? [y/n]: y
Adding packages for Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) (hongkong)
 
Region hongkong will be installed.
 
 
Operating System is Solaris 10

You need at least a solaris1 image to add any locales.
Please provide the path to a solaris1 image.
 
 
Please enter the path to this image/disk, or enter 'q' to quit:
 (if this image is on CD-ROM, please mount the disk and give the path to the CD-ROM drive e.g. /cdrom/cdrom0)
 
As I was unable to install using the localeadm command I used ./installer

This does not seem to have made any difference, when I run the localeadm -lc command it still shows only my default locale.

Im not sure if this is the correct way to install the Hong Kong locale or if this is going to resolve the issue of ftp,ing chinese characters so that the Solaris server can recognise the files. At this stage I cannot type or copy & paste the name of the files to be ftp'd across.

If anyone has had a similiar problem and managed to resolve then any help would be much appreciated.

@solaris_user: Please don't advise to blindingly run "sys_unconfig" on production systems. This command is overkill and will break services and processes.

@jamba1: what are your default and current locales ?

You haven't set any default locale so you are defaulting to ANSI (7 bit ascii).

You can set it temporarily in your session and test the application needint it like this:
Code:
LC_ALL=zh_HK
export LC_ALL
launch your application here ...
