Primary and secondary scripts

The script used by your system software—the language in the menus, dialog
boxes, and other items on the screen—is your computer’s primary script. If
you install a language kit that uses a different script, that becomes a
secondary script for your system. For example, if your system script uses the
Roman script, and you install the Indian Language Kit, your primary script
remains Roman, while the secondary script is Devanagari, Gujarati,
or Gurmukhi.
