Q256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
SUMMARY
=======
This article describes how to manually add codepages for languages not
supported, by default, in Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51 and 4.0, so
that the Microsoft Exchange Server computer supports Microsoft Exchange Clients
running on different language operating systems.
NOTE: Running English Exchange Clients on double-byte character set (DBCS)
operating systems is not supported and is not recommended by Microsoft, because
the English Exchange Clients are not enabled for DBCS operating systems, and
have not been tested on DBCS operating systems. This article is provided for
non-DBCS operating systems.
Microsoft provides a tool, the National Language Support (NLS) Configuration
tool, that automates the process of configuring an Exchange Server computer to
support a variety of languages by installing all the codepage files. This tool
is included in the Microsoft Exchange 4.0 Resource Kit, which can be found on
the Microsoft TechNet compact disc or at the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/servers/?product=5
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you want an Exchange Server computer running on Windows NT Server version
3.51 or 4.0 to support Exchange Clients running on different language operating
systems, you must install codepages for those languages on the Exchange Server
computer. If these codepages are not installed on the Exchange Server computer,
the client receives the following error message:
The Microsoft Exchange Server computer is not configured to support your
codepage, and can't log on to the Exchange Server.
You must add codepages manually for those languages that are not supported in the
Language list. You can find all the NLS files in the Microsoft Exchange 4.0
Resource Kit, with the NLS Configuration tool. To manually add codepages, you
need to edit the registry.
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems
that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor
incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
1. Copy the codepage file to the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory, and then name
the file <C_ANSI codepage ID>.nls, for example, the C_950.nls file.
2. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
3. Locate the following key in the registry:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage
4. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: the ANSI Codepage ID
Data Type: REG_SZ
String: the file name of this codepage file
5. Locate the following key in the registry:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language
6. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: the Windows Locale ID
Data Type: REG_SZ
String: l_intl.nls
The following table lists some locales that Microsoft currently supports.
