Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 uses the UTF-8 (8bit Unicode Transformation Format) encoding for supported locales. This allows you to create, edit and view documents written in different locales using UTF-8.

Note

Please note that applications such as KDE and Open Office may use additional files for internationalization.

2.1. Adding language support during installation

During your installation, the installation language you select becomes your default language after installation. The figure below illustrates the language selection window during installation. The selected language affects the default for:
  • user interface,
  • documentation,
  • fonts,
  • date, time formats and locale information,
  • input methods for Asian languages.
These areas will be discussed later in this guide.

During installation you can also install support for multiple languages from the package selection window as illustrated below.
