Language support refers to the ability of a product to support basic input, display, and data integrity (during storage and/or transmission) for character sets of various languages. Multiple language support is often grouped by region, because different code pages are used by different operating systems to support the characters found in various languages:
For the adapter service engine to run against the Japanese and Chinese (BIG5) character sets, it is recommended to install the Lotus Notes application software on Japanese and Chinese languages.
Date data is returned as a Lotus data type called DateTime(
lotus.domino.DateTime) which can be converted to a standard Java
Date(
java.util.Date) regardless of date formats. Similarly a standard
java.util.Date can be converted into a l
otus.domino.DateTime to insert a date value in the Lotus Notes application.
