Language codes are used to identify language-specific files and directories. They are also used as the values of the client language (/l) startup option.

Users can select the languages they want when they install the GroupWise client. If users have access to the GroupWise client media, they can choose from all languages. If users are installing from a software distribution directory, they can choose from the languages you installed in the software distribution directory, as described in GroupWise Languages in Installing a Basic GroupWise System in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide. The maximum disk space required to store all the GroupWise software components for one language in the software distribution directory is approximately 500 MB. Each additional client language adds about 20 MB.

Users should have at least 200 MB available on their workstations to install the GroupWise client software in one language. Users need an additional 20 MB of disk space for each additional language they install.

By default, the GroupWise client starts in the language of the operating system, if it is available. If the operating system language is not available, the next default language is English. When starting the GroupWise client, you can use the /l startup switch to override the English default and select an interface language from those that have been installed.

The online help available in the GroupWise clients is provided in all languages into which the client software is translated. The GroupWise client user guides available from the GroupWise clients and on the GroupWise Documentation Web site are translated only into the administration languages. If you try to access a user guide from a client that is running in a language into which the user guide has not been translated, you can select any of the available languages.

By default, the GroupWise clients use UTF-8 for MIME encoding. This accommodates the character sets used by all supported languages.
