The following table shows operating-system (OS) design information for MUI.

Element Information

Dependencies

NLS, font, and other locale-specific components.

Hardware considerations

Support for soft reset.

Multilingual User Interface (MUI) Implementation Considerations

You can include the Multilingual User Interface (MUI) Catalog item in your OS design by choosing the item from the Catalog. Choosing this Catalog item sets the appropriate Sysgen variable for enabling MUI.

The following table shows the Sysgen variable that enables Multilingual User Interface (MUI).

Sysgen variable Description

SYSGEN_MULTIUI

When this variable is set, Multilingual User Interface (MUI) is included in the OS design.
