Most interactive business applications need to run in several different national languages. You can write one English application and run it in any national language that QMF supports.
A QMF environment in a language other than English is a National Language Feature (NLF). An NLF provides a user with a QMF session that is tailored to a specific language such as German or Japanese.
QMF provides bilingual support for commands and forms. You can run English QMF commands and display English forms in any NLF, or write translatable applications. This chapter provides information about working with QMF in multiple or non-English language environments.
