Hungarian, hungarian - Introduction to Hungarian language support
This reference page describes the codeset, locale, device, and other
kinds of support for the Hungarian language.
The operating system supports the following coded character sets (codesets) for Hungarian by means of locales, codeset converters, or both: ISO 8859-2 (ISO Latin-2)
See the
i18n_intro(5)
and
l10n_intro(5)
reference pages for introductory
information on codesets. The
iconv_intro(5)
reference page discusses codeset
converters and how to use them.
The operating system provides the following Hungarian locale: hu_HU.ISO8859-2, for Hungary
You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to find out which locales are installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information on setting locale from the operating system command line.
For the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you set locale by setting
the session language. To do this, use the Language menu accessed from the
Options button of the Login window.
The operating system supports the following VT style and PC style keyboards with Hungarian characters printed on the keys:
VT Style (105/108 keys) | PC Style (102 keys) |
LK401-BQ | LK471-BQ |
LK411-BQ | LK47W-BQ |
LK461-BQ | LK97W-BQ |
LK46W-BQ | PCXAL-HQ |
PCXAL-LQ | |
PCXAL-PQ | |
PCXAL-SQ | |
For your keyboard to function correctly with your system, you must load a keyboard mapping table (keymap) that is appropriate for your keyboard's model and language. If you load a keymap that does not correspond to your keyboard's model and language, your keyboard behavior is unpredictable. The label located on the bottom surface of a keyboard usually specifies its model (five letter code) and language (two letter code). See the keyboard(5) reference page for general information on keymaps and instructions for loading them in different formats. The following tables supply Hungarian-specific information that you need when loading keymaps.

Keyboards can have keys with characters printed on both the left and
right half of the keycap. The way you set or use your keyboard to send different
sets of characters varies from one keyboard model to another. Furthermore,
your keyboard allows you to enter more characters than those printed on the
keycaps. Refer to the
keyboard(5)
reference page for information
on how to enter characters.
The
i18n_printing(5)
reference page discusses printer-support options. The PostScript
fonts available for languages supported by the ISO 8859-2 codeset are listed
on the
iso8859-2(5)
reference page.
