Changing the display language 

Refer to 

‘‘Telephone Displays’’ on page 1499

 more information about choosing 

the language for messages on your display phones and for mapping US English to 
Cyrillic (for Russian), Katakana (for Japanese) European, or Ukrainian characters.

Refer to 

‘‘System Parameters Country-Options’’ on page 919

 for more 

information about and field descriptions on the System Parameters 
Country-Option screen.

Characters that display are 
not what you thought you 
entered.

This feature is case sensitive. Check the table to 
make sure that you entered the right case.

You entered “~c”, and “*” 
appears on the display 
instead.

Lower-case “c” has a specific meaning in the 
DEFINITY system, and therefore cannot be 
mapped to any other character. An asterisk “*” 
appears in its place. 

You entered “~->” or “~<-” 
and nothing appears on the 
display. 

These characters do not exist as single keys on 
the standard US-English keyboard. Therefore 
the system is not programmed to handle them.

Enhanced display characters 
appear in fields that you did 
not update.

If an existing display field contains a tilde (~) 
followed by Roman characters, and you update 
and submit that screen after this feature is 
activated, that field will display the enhanced 
character set. 

Nothing displays on the 
terminal at all.

Some unsupported terminals do not display 
anything if a special character is presented. 
Check the model of display terminal that you 
are using.

You entered a character with 
a descender and part of it 
appears cut off in the 
display.

Some of the unused characters in Group2a have 
descenders that do not appear entirely within 
the display area. These characters are not 
included in the character map. For these 
characters (g,j,p,q,y), use Group1 equivalents.
