Localization Bugs

Cutting and Pasting Text Between ar_EY.ISO8859-1 And en_US.UTF-8 Does Not Work (4287746)

You cannot cut or paste Arabic text between an application or window running under en_US.UTF-8 in Arabic input mode and one running under ar_EY.ISO8859-1 in Arabic input mode.

The Extras Drop-Down Menu Is Not Available for European Locales (4298547)

When you right-click in any CDE application for a European locale, the Extras drop-down menu displays no options.

CTL Is Not Supported in Japanese And Asian UTF-8 Locales (4300239)

CTL (Complex Text Language) support for entering Hebrew, Arabic, orand Thai has been implemented in en_US.UTF-8 and European UTF-8 locales, but is not supported in ja_JP.UTF-8, ko.UTF-8 (ko_KR.UTF-8), zh.UTF-8 (zh_CH.UTF-8), and zh_TW.UTF-8 locales.

Workaround: Use the en_US.UTF-8 locale if you need to enter Thai, Arabic, or Hebrew using CTL. If you want to enter those languages in Asian and Japanese UTF-8 locales:

Create a symbolic link to common CTL modules. In the case of ja_JP.UTF-8:
# cd /usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8 # mkdir LO_LTYPE ; cd LO_LTYPE # ln -s ../../common/LO_LTYPE/umle.layout.so.1 ja_JP.UTF-8.layout.so.1 # mkdir sparcv9 ; cd sparcv9 # ln -s ../../../common/LO_LTYPE/sparcv9/umle.layout.so.1 ja_JP.UTF-8.layout.so.1

Edit the /usr/openwin/lib/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE file by commenting out the load_option delay_nocheck line from Thai, Arabic, or Hebrew entries (in the case of Thai):
# fs14 class (Thai) fs14 { charset TIS620.2533-0:GR font { # load_option delay_nocheck <--- comment out primary TIS620.2533-0:GR }}
