LANGID(5) — HP-UX
NAME
langid − NLS language identification variable
DESCRIPTION
The following Native Language Support (NLS) environments are supported by HP-UX. A user sets the environment variable LANG to the language name of the desired NLS environment. Commands then call the routine nl_init(3C) with this value to load the NLS environment, which causes many (3C) routines to perform NLS-sensitive processing.

WARNINGS
Right-to-left character processing is not yet supported by all HP-UX commands for the arabic, arabic-w, and hebrew languages.
The NLS environment also can be initialized by passing the language ID number to various NLS library routines (see nl_init(3C) and langinfo(3C)). However, the language ID number and the routines accepting it as a parameter are provided for historical reasons only.
