When you install Notes® on the Mac OS platform, language kits are available for your use. These kits are typically referred to as native language (NL) packs.

About this task

The NL packs are provided in install kits specific to the language set you require. Install and usage instructions accompany the individual NL packs in the form of a readme file.

Use an NL pack to install one or multiple non-English languages. An NL pack provides the following functions.

Each language pack kit is self-contained and complete. You do not need to first install Notes using an English-based install kit and then install an additional language pack. Instead, simply run the installation executable from the desired language kit to install Notes in your language of choice. For example, when you install from the nl1a language kit, the program installs all the specified Notes client resources available in the install kit, including the requested language resources.

Procedure

1. Obtain the NL kit and run the Notes installation executable in that kit.

2. Respond to all prompts.

The NL pack installation program uses a locale panel on which you are prompted to select which language(s) to install from the group. When you run the installer using this language pack, you are prompted to select one or more languages.

You cannot install one language pack and then install another. For example, you cannot install nl1a and then install nl1b. If you want to install nl1b, you must first uninstall nl1a.
