========================================================================
Internationalization
========================================================================
The Flash players are internationalized for a number of languages.  The
players determine the language setting from the environment variable LANG.
If LANG is not set the players will default to English.

Note: Internationalization and Localization have not been fully tested on HP-UX

To set LANG in .bashrc:

	LANG=spanish ; export LANG

or .cshrc

	setenv LANG es

These locales are currently recognized:

Dependencies
========================================================================
Patch PHCO_28112 is necessary for full Unicode support in the Flash Player.

Netscape 7 and Mozilla already require that GTK library version 1.4.gm.38
be installed.  If these libraries are in standard HP-UX directories (/lib
or /opt/gnome/lib) all will work fine.  If they are in a non-standard
location you must add this location to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
e.g. setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/some/other/path

B2000 machines may notice sound irregularities in some movies.  Apply
patches PHKL_28253, PHSS_28547, PHSS_28548 to fix this issue.  A reboot
may be necessary after applying the patch.


========================================================================
Release Notes
========================================================================
Flash Communication Server (camera + microphone) functionality is supported
as follows on HP-UX:
No support on Netscape 4.x
Microphone only support on Netscape 7 and Mozilla

There is a known issue [TEF200305080003061911650548] with Flash Communication
Server functionality regarding recording sound for later playback. This
functionality works for original record and playback, but subsequent
recording is done at the wrong sample rate, noticeable as slowed playback.
