Example 1: Switching Sessions, Keyboard Layouts, and Code Pages
1. German is the current keyboard layout.
2. You switch to Session 2. The host for Session 2 has Spanish as the default language.
3. The new code page and keyboard layout are Spanish.
Example 2: Switching Sessions and Code Pages, but not Keyboard Layouts
1. Session 1 is active and its host is configured for German as the default language. Spanish
is the current keyboard layout.
2. You switch to Session 2. The host for Session 2 has Spanish as the default language.
3. The new code page is Spanish and the keyboard layout remains Spanish.
Printing and Languages
There are two types of prints, LU1 (SCS) prints and LU3 prints. When an LU3 print is sent to
a printer, the printer uses the code page corresponding to the default language for the host
associated with the current printer session. An LU1 (SCS) print is not affected by the Dual
Language feature because the printer performs the translation for this type of print. Local
prints from a DFT are LU1 prints. The following languages have their own character generators,
and to correctly print all the characters in the language, you must install the character generator
for the language. Languages followed by an asterisk (*) are supported by both 3270 hosts and
ASCII hosts. Languages that are not followed by an asterisk are supported only by 3270
hosts:

All other languages use the Base character generator.
TTU effects on ASCII
Because translate tables present during configuration are referenced by the ASCII Definition
Utility, use of the Translate Table Utility may have effects on the ASCII Definition Utility and
on ASCII character translation. If you are using both utilities, it is important to follow this
sequence to avoid unexpected results:
1. Use the Language Options panel to select the Primary and Secondary languages, and to
specify the translate tables that will be used with each language.
2. Use the Translate Table Utility.
3. Use the ASCII Definition Utility. The ADU will check the Translate Tables selection
from the General Options panel and will use the appropriate tables.
Note: If the Translate Table Utility and the ASCII Definition Utility are used, and then the
primary and/or secondary languages are changed, it will be necessary to redo the ADU for the
changed languages.
