This document tries to explain the current Chinese language support system on the UCS machines. Unfortunately, since there is no centralized support for the Chinese Language, the user must currently configure many things.
We are hoping in the near future to deploy an experimental East Asian Language Email server. It will enable the user to read, write and print Chinese, Japanese and Korean Language Email from any central UW computer.
There are several different sections to this document. They are in order from basics to a specific case with a specific machine.
Unfortunately, the specifics of a particular system cannot be generalized to all systems. Since Chinese language support programs run on PC or Mac workstations, there may be different Chinese language support program on different systems.
My thanks to Mark Crispin (mrc@cac.washington.edu), software engineer, Networks and Distributed Computing as my primary source of information. My thanks also to all the different people whose individual system problems will hopefully lead to a generic set of basic information.
