Appendix B. Language support

Changing the DB2 interface language (Windows)

The interface language of DB2 is the language that appears in messages, help, and graphical tool interfaces. When installing DB2, you have the option of installing support for one or more languages. If, at some time after installation, you want to change the interface language for DB2 to one of the other installed interface languages, use the steps outlined in this task.

Do not confuse languages supported by DB2 with languages supported by the DB2 interface. Languages supported by DB2, that is, languages that data can exist in, are a superset of languages supported by the DB2 interface.

Prerequisites:

The DB2 interface language you want to use must be installed on your system. DB2 interface languages are selected and installed when you install DB2 using the DB2 Setup wizard. If you change the interface language of DB2 to a supported interface language that has not been installed, the DB2 interface language will default to the operating system language first, and if that is not supported, English.

Procedure:

Changing the interface language for DB2 on Windows requires that you change the default language setting for your Windows operating system.

To change the DB2 interface language on Windows:

1.Through the Control Panel on your Windows operating system, select Regional Options.

2.In the Regional Options dialog window, change the default language setting for the system to the language in which you want to interface with DB2.

Refer to your operating system help for additional information about changing the default system language.
