IBM MQ for IBM i is installed in the language that is the primary language on your system.

You can install additional versions of the product in any of the languages shown in Table 1. To do so:

Procedure

  1. Sign on to the system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ special authority
  2. Issue the following command specifying the appropriate language ID:
    
    RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5724H72) DEV( install device ) RSTOBJ(*LNG) LNG( language ID )
    
    This installs the commands, message file, and panel groups into the relevant QSYS library for the language. For example, library QSYS2928 is used for French. If this QSYS29nn library does not exist, it is created by the RSTLICPGM command.

Results

Note:
  1. To run the Japanese language version of IBM MQ for IBM i, the CCSID of the job must be 939 (5035) rather than 930 (5026) because IBM MQ uses lowercase English characters.
  2. If you are installing IBM MQ for IBM i onto a machine for which the primary language is not on the CD, the install program prompts you to load a CD containing the product in that language. If, however, you have only one product CD, this means that the IBM MQ product has not been translated into your language. To get around this issue, proceed as follows:
    • Install the product in one of the supplied languages, and then add the corresponding QSYS29nn library into the system library list (for example using command CHGSYSLIBL). At the same time, check that there are no IBM MQ *CMD, *MENU, or *MSGF objects in libraries higher up the library list. If some exist, then either delete these objects (because they refer to an earlier version of IBM MQ) or reorder the System Library list (because the product has been installed in more than one of the supplied languages).
