C.4.2    Language-Specific Subsets

This section lists each supported language as well as the software subsets provided with each language. To reconstruct the actual software subset name, prefix each subset name with IOSLL, where LL is the two-letter language code. For example, the subset CDEMAIL for Germany (the prefix for German is DE) becomes IOSDECDEMAIL. Each subset also has a three-digit suffix that represents the software version number; so, IOSDECDEMAIL becomes IOSDECDEMAIL505.

Certain countries share a language; for example, Canada and France both can use the French language subsets. The resulting subset name would use both the country and language code (IOSLLCC: LL=language, CC=country). So, the French-Canada X11 subset name, for example, would be IOSFRCAX11505. Table C-20 lists the mail application subset and the languages in which the subset is available. The United States English equivalent software subset is described in Table C-6.
