Languages in which z/OS is available

z/OS® is provided in U.S. English. In addition, 16 other languages are supported. The main items that are provided in these other languages are messages, panels, and documentation. Not all elements and features are available in each of the 16 languages. Table 1 shows the 16 languages and lists which elements and features are available in each.

When you order z/OS, you receive it in U.S. English and in the following additional languages:

Thirteen additional languages for base element Library Server (listed in Table 1)
One additional language (Japanese) for the program management binder in base element BCP

If you want an additional language, you have to specify the language feature number in your order.

If you order the z/OS base in a non-English language, you get all priced features (which support dynamic enablement) in English and any priced features that are available in that non-English language. If you order a priced feature in a non-English language, you get it in that language and in English.

The enablement setting is based on whether an element or feature was ordered in any language.
