Solaris

Code:

set|grep LC
MAILCHECK=60
oinlcso005.int.in.nmc.ericsson.se{arsadm} #: ptree $$
382   /usr/lib/inet/inetd start
  1546  /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
    1549  -bash
      3632  ptree 1549

There is no evidence a locale is set.
Use something like:

Code:

export LC_ALL=hi_IN.UTF-8
vi testfile

Moreover, you are remotely connected through telnet, not the most reliable way to work with binary and a method that prevent to know what terminal emulator you are using from ptree output.
Why aren't you working locally ?
What are you connecting with ? on what OS ?

I have set the LOcale as below :-

Code:

oinlcso005.int.in.nmc.ericsson.se{root} #: locale
LANG=hi_IN.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=hi_IN.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=hi_IN.UTF-8

But still its getting converted into dots . I am using Putty from Window Vista . I am working remotely

Is your putty session able to display non latin characters ?

I have connected with console cable and then tried . But still getting the same issue

If putty is unable to display latin characters, there is no much point trying to have vi magically making them visible.
Please clarify.

For detail understanding

We have a application server . We have certain requirement from application team to support multi language . We have installed all the locales . List is attached . All the language is supporting now after configuring the LANG and LC_ALL parameter . Except for Hindi , Japanese and Chinese .

So we want your help to troubleshoot and configure the same .

Step to produce :-

I have installed the Locale
Set the parameter as :-

Code:

LANG=hi_IN.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=hi_IN.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="hi_IN.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=hi_IN.UTF-8

I am using putty and telnet to get connect to the server on Vista .

Vi test
And when we are inserting a hindi text

Code:

हिन्दी में  ghn टाईप करें

All the content is getting converted into dots . Except ghn as :-

Code:

...... ...  ghn .... ..

But I want it should support hindi , as well as chineese and Japneese .
