Gateway Localization
8 Netscape Directory Server Gateway Customization Guide
Gateway Localization
The gateway is designed to allow support for clients in multiple locales.
Gateway Locales
Release 4.0 of the Directory gateway is localized for English, Japanese, French,
and German. Language files are stored in <NSHOME>/dsgw/html/<lang> and
<NSHOME>dsgw/config/<lang>, where <lang> is defined in RFC1766 (for
example, language files for Japanese are stored in /usr/netscape/dsgw/html/ja
and /usr/netscsape/dgw/config/ja[true]). The gateway can be configured to
support additional locales.
Support for the character sets necessary to render a particular locale (language)
must be available in the browser’s configuration. Netscape Communicator
provides support for multiple languages and multiple characters sets.

Character Sets
Release 4.0 of the gateway supports Unicode (specifically, the UTF-8 character
set), the character set containing all of the world’s languages. However,
Unicode or any character set specified in the gateway’s .conf file can be
overridden by the HTTP Accept-charset header sent by the gateway client or by
a character set created for a specific language.
