Support for additional languages

You can also translate messages into languages not currently available through IBM®. You can do this in the following way:

Select the language code in Table 1 that matches the language into which you plan to translate messages. Though you may supply your own language code, IBM recommends that you use these codes. You will need that language code for the version record. Table 1 is not an all-inclusive list of languages.
If the messages you want to translate are MVS™ system messages, there may already be U.S. English skeletons for them, so all you need to supply are the translated skeletons. If the messages are from an application you have written, you need to supply both the English and translated skeletons. Follow the procedures described in Creating install message files, Validating message skeletons, and Updating the system run-time message files.
Ask the installation's system programmer to:
- Modify the parmlib member, MMSLSTxx, adding the language code.
- Create a new config member, CNLcccxx, for the new language.
- Restart MMS using the SET MMS command.

See z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference for more information on setting up config members, and parmlib members.
