Launching Legacy Locale Applications
For applications that are not ready to migrate to Unicode UTF-8, you can create a launcher on
the front panel to start the application in legacy locales. You can also launch the applications
directly from the command line. Perform the following steps to create a launcher for an
application.
1. Right-click the panel where you want to place the launcher.
2. Choose Add to Panel → Launcher.
3. Use the following format to type the entry in the Command eld in the Create Launcher
dialog box:
env LANG=locale LC_ALL=locale application-name
For example, if you want to launch an application called motif-app from /usr/dt/bin in
the Chinese Big5 locale, you would type the following text in the Command eld of the
Create Launcher:
env LANG=zh_TW.BIG5 LC_ALL=zh_TW.BIG5 /usr/dt/bin/motif-app
4. Click OK to create the launcher on the panel.
When you need to run CLI (command-line interface) applications that are specic to a legacy
locale, open a terminal window in the legacy locale rst and then run the CLI applications in the
same terminal window. To open a terminal window in a legacy locale, type the following
command:
eng LANG=locale LC_ALL=locale GNOME-TERMINAL –disable-factory.
Instead of opening a new terminal window in a legacy locale, you can switch the locale setting
from UTF-8 to a legacy locale in the current terminal window. Change the encoding through
the Set Character Encoding menu in the terminal window. Then, you must also set the LANG and
LC_ALL environment variables to the current shell.
