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
Full NLS support is not available for all HP-UX commands. See the INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT section of specific commands and library routines for implementation details.
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.
