Localization

Code Page Support:

ZIEWeb v2.0 supports multiple Host Code pages such as United States (037), Sweden (278), Sweden Euro (1143) etc.

• As a prerequisite, the user must have Swedish Host Code page supported host.
• Theuser can see the green screen with the default Host Code page (United States)ifan unsupported host is connected.
• Theuser can modify the Host Code page as per their requirementsifthis property is unlocked by the admin in the property panel.

The Host Code page defined by the admin is displayed if this property is locked by the admin.

• The Host Code page is set to default (United states)ifadmin defines the Host Code page that is not supported in ZIEWeb.
• After setting up the Host Code page, the green screen reflects the changes.

DBCS Host Code Page:

• A Double-Byte Character Set (DBCS) represents a language with more than 256 glyphs (visually-distinct symbols).
• DBCS generally represent most Asian languages.
• DBCS can be used exclusively within a file or mixed with SBCS (Single-Byte Character Set) characters for the mainframe environment.
• DBCS Host Code page is a double-byte character set used to represents a language with more than 256 glyphs (visually distinct symbols). Each character is represented by a 16-bit value (two bytes) and takes two positions in the screen buffer. Host code pages are added under properties panel.

  New supported - DBCS Host Code pages are:

  939 – Japan (Latin extended): For 5250 and 3270 sessions.

  1390 – Japanese (Katakana Unicode Extended; JIS 2004): For 3270 sessions only.

Currently, Double-byte Character set Japanese katakana and Japan Katakana Extended host code page is only supported in ZIEWeb for Client.

Globalization

Introduction and requirements:

ZIEWeb-Client provides multiple languages support. The ZIEWeb-Client users can view the UI elements in English and Japanese based on their locales. The property panel, settings panel, alerts, OIA messages. etc., have been globalized throughout the product. As a pre-requisite, the desired language should be added to the browser.

The ZIEWeb-Client supported languages are listed below with respective locale:

This can be achieved in two ways:

At first the ZIEWeb-Client page can be viewed based on the browser preferred language order to view web pages set at the client side. If multiple supported language is added, based on the preference order the default browser language will be considered. If an unsupported language is detected at browser level, then the ZIEWeb-Client page will be viewed in the default language of the product i.e English.

The second path would be for the Admin to have a control over the browser preference language (display Locale). This can be done by setting two parameters in ‘web.properties’ file that resides under ZIEWeb publish directory.

The path of the directory:

C:\Program Files\HCL\ZIEForWeb\ZIEWeb\web.properties

The parameters that can be defined by Admin are ‘preferredLocale=en, ja’ and ‘defaultLocale=ja’ to have a control over the browser locale.

If the browser locale / language is one of the locale defined in the ‘preferredLocale’ parameter, then the page is viewed in that language else the web page will be viewed in locale defined in ‘defaultLocale’ parameter.

If ‘defaultLocale’ is not defined and unsupported language is detected in browser, then the page will be viewed in ‘English’.

Limitations:

• The admin console will not support a few properties of DBCS when a session starts.

• In the DBCS session, operations like overwrite, backspace, and delete will be handled on the server. Hence copying and pasting the DBCS characters are working partially but pasting the DBCS characters continuously will not work as expected.
