NAME
       French, french - Introduction to French language support

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

   Codesets
       The operating system supports the  following  codesets  for  French  by
       means of locales, codeset converters, or both: ISO 8859-1 (ISO Latin-1)

	      ISO8859-1	 is  the  string  that	represents this codeset in the
	      names of locales and codeset converters.	See  iso8859-1(5)  for
	      more information.	 ISO 8859-15 (ISO Latin-9)

	      ISO8859-15  is  the  string  that represents this codeset in the
	      names of locales and codeset converters. See  iso8859-15(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-page formats

	      cp437,  cp850,  cp863, and cp1252 are the strings that represent
	      these encoding formats in the names of locales and codeset  con‐
	      verters. 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 information on codeset converters  and
       how to use them.

   French Locales
       The  operating system provides the following French locales for differ‐
       ent countries: fr_BE.ISO8859-1, fr_BE.ISO8859-15, and  fr_BE.UTF-8  for
       Belgium	fr_CA.ISO8859-1,  fr_CA.ISO8859-15, and fr_CA.UTF-8 for Canada
       fr_CH.ISO8859-1,	 fr_CH.ISO8859-15,  and	 fr_CH.UTF-8  for  Switzerland
       fr_FR.ISO8859-1, fr_FR.ISO8859-15, and fr_FR.UTF-8 for France

       Of  these locales, only the and locales support the euro currency sign.
       In particular, the fr_BE.ISO8859-15, fr_BE.UTF-8, fr_FR.ISO8859-15, and
       fr_FR.UTF-8  locales use the euro symbol for currency. However, because
       the locale repertoire does not contain the euro symbol, fr_BE.ISO8859-1
       and fr_FR.ISO8859-1 continue to use the franc currency symbol.

       You  can	 use  the  locale command (see locale(1)) to find out if these
       locales are installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information
       on setting 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 French characters printed on the keys:

       ──────────────────────────────────────────────
       VT Style (105/108 keys)	 PC Style (102 keys)
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────
       LK411-AP			 LK471-AP
       LK450-AP			 LK47W-AP
       LK451-AP			 LK97W-AP
       LK461-AP			 PCXAL-AP
       LK46W-AP			 PCXAL-FP
				 PCXAL-GP

				 PCXAL-KP
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────

       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 French-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
       PostScript fonts for languages supported by the ISO 8859-1 codeset  are
       printer resident.
