Norwegian(5) File Formats Manual Norwegian(5) NAME Norwegian, norwegian - Introduction to Norwegian language support DESCRIPTION This reference page describes the coded character set (codeset), lo- cale, device, and other support for the Norwegian language. Codesets The operating system supports the following codesets for Norwegian by means of locales, codeset converters, or both: ISO 8859-1 (ISO Latin 1) ISO8859-1 is the string that represents this codeset in the names of locales and codeset converters. See iso8859-1(5) for more information. UCS-2, UCS-4, UTF-8 UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8 are the strings that represent these en- coding formats in the names of locales and codeset converters. See Unicode(5) for more information. PC code pages cp437, cp850, cp865, and cp1252 are the strings that represent these encoding formats in the names of codeset converters. See code_page(5) for more information. See the i18n_intro(5) and l10n_intro(5) reference pages for introduc- tory information on codesets. The iconv_intro(5) reference page dis- cusses codeset converters and how to use them. Norwegian Locales The operating system provides the following Norwegian locales: no_NO.ISO8859-1 and no_NO.UTF-8 for Norway Of these locales, only no_NO.UTF-8 supports the Euro currency sign. You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to find out which lo- cales are 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 following VT style and PC style key- boards with Norwegian characters printed on the keys: l l. _ VT Style (105/108 keys) PC Style (102 keys) _ LK201-LN LK442-PN LK201-RN LK444-AN LK401-AN LK471-AN LK402-AN LK47W-AN LK411-AN LK97W-AN LK412-AN PCXAL-AN LK450-AN PCXAL-FN LK451-AN PCXAL-GN LK461-AN PCXAL-KN LK46W- AN PCXAL-NN PCCAL-NN _ For your keyboard to function correctly with your system, you must load a keyboard mapping table (keymap) that is appropriate for your key- board's model and language. If you load a keymap that does not corre- spond to your keyboard's model and language, your keyboard behavior is unpredictable. The label located on the bottom surface of a keyboard usually specifies its model (five letter code) and language (two letter code). See the keyboard(5) reference page for general information on keymaps and instructions for loading them in different formats. The following tables supply Norwegian-specific information that you need when loading keymaps.

The way you set or use your keyboard to send different sets of characters varies from one keyboard model to another. Furthermore, your keyboard allows you to enter more characters than those printed on the keycaps. Refer to the keyboard(5) reference page for information on how to enter characters. Printers PostScript fonts for languages supported by the ISO 8859-1 codeset are printer resident. Refer to i18n_printing(5) for discussion of printer support options.
