How do I install Japanese locales after the Solaris OS has been installed?
You can install Japanese partial locale packages using the pkgadd(1M) command from the Software 1of2 and 2of2 CD-ROMs. This will enable you to type, display, and print Japanese text. Note that Solaris Web Start cannot be used to install locales on top of a base installation. If you also want the Japanese GUI environment and additional software (such as optional fonts or optional input methods), you can install the Japanese full locale packages from the Languages CD using either the pkgadd command or the Languages CD installer. We recommend the Languages CD installer since you don’t need to know the package names. The list of locale packages is available in the appendix of the “International Language Environment Guide,” available on docs.sun.com. You can also find them on the following web pages: For a description of the Solaris 8 release, see http://developers.sun.com/dev/gadc/techtips/sol8_locale_pkgs/ For a description of the Solaris 9 release, see http://developers.sun.com/dev/gadc/
