NAME
       Polish, polish - Introduction to Polish language support

DESCRIPTION
       This  reference	page  describes	 the  coded  character	set (codeset),
       locale, device, and other kinds of support for the Polish language.

   Codesets
       The operating system supports the  following  codesets  for  Polish  by
       means of locales, codeset converters, or both: ISO 8859-2 (ISO Latin 2)

	      ISO8859-2	 is  the  string  that	represents this codeset in the
	      names of locales and codeset converters.	See  iso8859-2(5)  for
	      more information.	 UTF-16, UCS-4, and UTF-8

	      UTF-16,  UCS-4,  and  UTF-8 are the strings that represent these
	      encoding formats in the names of locales and codeset converters.
	      See Unicode(5) for more information.  PC code pages

	      cp852  and  cp1250 are the strings that represent these encoding
	      formats in the names of codeset  converters.   See  code_page(5)
	      for more information.

       See  i18n_intro(5)  and	l10n_intro(5)  for introductory information on
       codesets. See iconv_intro(5) for a discussion of codeset converters and
       how to use them.

   Locales
       The   operating	 system	  provides   the   following  Polish  locales:
       pl_PL.ISO8859-2

	      The pl_PL.ISO8859-2@ucs4 variant of this locale is  also	avail‐
	      able  for	 applications that need to convert ISO8859-2 file data
	      to UCS-4 process code in order  to  perform  certain  character-
	      classification operations.  pl_PL.UTF-8

	      UTF-8  locales  support  file  code  and	internal  process code
	      according to ISO 10646 and  Unicode  standards.  File  code,  in
	      UTF-8  locales,  may  include  characters encoded in more than 1
	      byte; therefore, use these  locales  in  applications  that  can
	      process multibyte data. The UTF-8 locale supports the euro mone‐
	      tary symbol; see euro(5).

       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 a locale from the operating system command line.

       In the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you need to set	 a  locale  by
       setting	the session language. To do this, from the Options menu of the
       Login window, choose Language. Then, from the  Language	options	 menu,
       choose a session language.

   Keyboards
       The  operating system supports the following VT-style and PC-style key‐
       boards with Polish characters printed on the keys:

       ──────────────────────────────────────────────
       VT-Style (105/108 keys)	 PC-Style (102 keys)
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────
       LK411-BP			 LK471-BP
       LK461-BP			 LK47W-BP
       LK46W-BP			 LK97W-BP
				 PCXAL-HP
				 PCXAL-PP

				 PCXAL-SP
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────

       For your keyboard to function correctly with your system, you must load
       a  keyboard  mapping  table  (keymap) that is appropriate for your key‐
       board's model and language. If you load a keymap that does  not	corre‐
       spond  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 keyboard(5) for general information on keymaps and  instruc‐
       tions for loading them in different formats.  The following tables sup‐
       ply Polish-specific information that you need when loading keymaps.

       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       For VT-Style		       For PC-Style
       Keyboard:      Select:	       Keyboard:      Select:
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

				       PCXAL-PP	      polish pcxalpp
				       PCXAL-SP	      polish pcxalhp
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       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. See keyboard(5) for information on how to
       enter characters.

   Printers
       The  PostScript	fonts  available  for  languages  supported by the ISO
       8859-2 codeset are listed in iso8859-2(5).

       See i18n_printing(5) for a discussion of printer support options.
