Configure UTF-8 Support

Configure the computer where you will install the component to support UTF-8 encoding. If UTF-8 encoding is not enabled, characters may not display properly during the installation.

The appropriate language packs are also required to support localized deployments.

Note: Some scripts that are used in the installation of selected components are not localized and run in English. For more information, see the Localization Status Readme file.

Follow these steps:

Do one of the following steps:
1. Type the following command from a Korn or bash shell:
```
export LANG=LANG_value ; export LC_ALL=$LANG
```
  LANG_value
  
  Indicates the value of the language you want the product to support. The following variables are supported:
  
  English: en_US.utf8
  
  French: fr_FR.utf8
  
  Japanese: ja_JP.utf8
  
  Simplified Chinese: zh_CN.utf8
  
  Traditional Chinese: zh_TW.utf8
  
  For example:
```
export LANG=zh_TW.utf8 ; export LC_ALL=$LANG
```
2. Type the following command from a Bourne shell:
```
LANG=LANG_value ; export LANG
```
```
LC_ALL=LANG_value ; export LC_ALL
```
  For example:
```
LANG=zh_CN ; export LANG
```
```
LC_ALL=zh_CN ; export LC_ALL
```
The language variable is set.
