Turkish(5) — Macro Packages and Conventions

NAME

Turkish, turkish − Introduction to Turkish language support

DESCRIPTION

This reference page describes the coded character set (codeset), locale, device, font, and other kinds of support for the Turkish language.

Codesets

The operating system supports the following codeset for Turkish:

•ISO 8859-9 (ISO Latin 5)

ISO8859-9 is the string that represents this codeset in names of locales and other system files.

See the iso8859-9(5) reference page for information on the ISO Latin 5 codeset. See the i18n_intro(5) and l10n_intro(5) reference pages for introductory information on codesets.

Locales

The operating system provides the following locale for the Turkish language and Turkey:

•tr_TR.ISO8859-9

You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to find out if this locale is installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information on setting locale.

In a windows environment, you also need to set the session language. The way you do this depends on which windows environment you are using:

•In the Common Desktop environment (CDE), use the Language menu accessed from the login window Options button.

•In the DECwindows environment, use the Language Option dialog box invoked from the Session Manager’s Options menu.

Keyboards

The operating system supports the LK401 and PCXAL families of keyboards. Turkish characters are printed on the keys of the following models:

LK401-BU_DP
LK401-BU_TW
LK401-BW_DP
LK401-BW_TW
PCXAL-LU
PCXAL-MU

See the keyboard(5) reference page for information on character input methods.

Printers

The PostScript fonts available for languages supported by the ISO 8859-9 codeset are listed on the iso8859-9(5) reference page. You can manually download these fonts to any PostScript printer supported by the operating system. In this case, you must download the fonts each time you start the printer.

The operating system supports the following printers for dynamically downloading PostScript fonts. The associated print filter is noted in parentheses following the printer name.

•DEClaser 1152 (dl1152wrof)

The DEClaser 1152 is a PostScript printer that uses the font-faulting technique to download fonts.

•DEClaser 5100, model LN09X-HD (dl5100wrof)

The DEClaser 5100 is a PostScript printer that uses a built-in font disk.

For more information on setting up and configuring these printers, refer to the i18n_printing(5) and lprsetup(8) reference pages.
