Globalization prerequisites for installing

1. Ensure that the primary cultural convention and primary language translation are set to UTF-8 for your language: You can set the primary cultural convention and primary language translation by completing these steps:
   1. Change Locale Permanently (User-specific)

      To make the locale change permanent for your user account (even after logging out or restarting), you need to modify your shell configuration file. For example ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile.

      1. Open the shell configuration file in a text editor: vi ~/.bashrc
      2. Add the following line to set the desired locale. For example, for US English: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
      3. Save the file and exit the editor.
      4. To apply the changes immediately, run: source ~/.bashrc
      5. To verify that the change has been applied, use: echo $LANG
   2. Change Locale Temporarily (Session-based)

      As a non-root user, you can temporarily change the locale for your current session without requiring root privileges.

      1. Set the LANG environment variable for the current session. For example, to change the locale to US English: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
      2. To confirm that the locale has been set, run: echo $LANGThis will display the new LANG value.
      Note: This change will only persist for the current session and will reset when you log out or restart your terminal.
   Note:

   • As a non-root user, you can modify the locale for your current session and make it persistent by editing your shell configuration file. For example, ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile.
   • Changing system-wide locale or keyboard settings typically requires root access.
2. Ensure that locale-related environment variables are set to include the locale that is supported by :

   Language	Locale Code	LC_ALL value
   Brazilian Portuguese	PT_BR	PT_BR
   English	EN_US	EN_US
   French	FR_FR	FR_FR
   German	DE_DE	DE_DE
   Italian	IT_IT	IT_IT
   Japanese	JA_JP	JA_JP
   Korean	KO_KR	KO_KR
   Polish	PL_PL	PL_PL
   Romanian	RO_RO	RO_RO
   Russian	RU_RU	RU_RU
   Simplified Chinese	ZH_CN	ZH_CN
   Spanish	ES_ES	ES_ES
   Traditional Chinese	ZH_TW	ZH_TW

   To determine your locale, run the following command: locale
   If your locale is not supported, change your locale properties by running the following commands as root user:

   LANG=xx_XX
   export LANG
   LC_ALL=xx_XX
   export LC_ALL

   where xx_XX is the four letter locale code with the same capitalization as shown in the table.

   Note: Ensure that the non-root user's locale is set to the appropriate language. If the locale is not set properly, some of the tools do not display properly.

For double-byte national languages (Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese), ensure that the local language of the machine is set to the language in which you read the prompts in the installation wizard.

If the operating system language setting does not match the language that you select for the installation wizard, the prompts do display correctly. For Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, the installation wizard prompt displays in English if the operating system language setting does not match the language that you select for the installation wizard.
