Slovene(5)Slovene(5)NAME
Slovene, slovene - Introduction to Slovene language support
DESCRIPTION
This reference page describes the coded character set (codeset),
locale, device, font, and other kinds of support for the Slovene lan‐
guage as used in the Slovene Republic.
Codesets
The operating system supports the following codesets for Slovene by
means of locales, codeset converters, or both: ISO 8859-2 (ISO Latin 2)
ISO8859-2 is the string that represents this codeset in names of
locales and codeset converters. See iso8859-2(5) for more infor‐
mation. 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 cp1252 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 locales for the Slovene
language and Slovenia: sl_SI.ISO8859-2
The sl_SI.ISO8859-2@ucs4 variant of this locale is also avail‐
able to applications that need to convert file data in ISO8859-2
format to UCS-4 process code to perform certain operations on
characters. sl_SI.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 Slovene characters printed on the keys:
───────────────────────────────────────────────
VT-Style (105/108 keys) PC -Style (102 keys)
───────────────────────────────────────────────
LK411-BY LK471-BY
LK461-BY LK47W-BY
LK46W-BY LK97W-BY
PCXAL-HY
PCXAL-PY
PCXAL-SY
───────────────────────────────────────────────
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 -let‐
ter code). See keyboard(5) for general information on keymaps and
instructions for loading them in different formats. The following
tables supply Slovene-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. 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.
