Choosing a Locale on an English Language Operating System
This method is common on Windows systems, and it is the only option on Mac OS X systems. When you use this method, you typically instruct your operating system to allow you to choose between English and a specific locale such as French, German, Chinese, or Japanese. This allows you to input and display characters in your chosen language even though you are using the basic English language operating system.
To take advantage of ICS on an English language operating system:
  Instruct your operating system to display the appropriate language in menus and dialog boxes and specify the language you want to use for keyboard layouts. Follow the instructions in one of the following sections:
  Non-English Character Support (Macintosh)
  Non-English Character Support (Windows)
  (Windows only) If you are using a language other than English, French, Italian, German, or Spanish, you might need to adjust the mapping for the keyboard so the keys in the Keyboard palette match the keys on your physical keyboard. See Using Foreign Keyboard Mapping.
  (Windows only) If you are bringing older projects and bins forward to this version, you might need to use the CleanEncode utility to convert the file names so they can be viewed correctly in Windows Explorer and in the Avid editing application. See Moving Older Projects to this Version (Windows Only).
