Internationalization

This section describes the features available in Microsoft® Host Integration Server 2000, SNA Server 4.0, and SNA Server 3.0 for supporting international languages and different national language character sets. Introduced with SNA Server version 3.0, the SNANLS API available on Microsoft Windows® XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT®, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98, and Windows 95 can be used to support international languages in applications for Host Integration Server 2000, SNA Server 4.0, and SNA Server 3.0 by means of a standardized and consistent interface. The SNANLS API uses the language support features provided with Windows XP/2000/NT and extends these same features to Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98, and Windows 95 clients. SNANLS supports European languages that use single-byte encoding as well as East Asia languages that use double-byte or Unicode encoding.

In Windows 3.x and MS-DOS® environments where SNANLS is not supported, developers can use the TrnsDT API for supporting East Asia languages such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, and Windows code page support for single-byte conversions.
