Internationalization and Unicode Support

VMware Integrated OpenStack supports UTF-8 character encoding, and its interface and documentation are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

If you are using vCenter Server for Windows, you must set the system locale (language for non-Unicode programs) to English (United States).

If you are using Linux, configure the system to use the UTF-8 encoding specific to your locale. For example, to use U.S. English, specify the en_US.UTF-8 locale. For more information, see the documentation for your operating system.

Important: Although VMware Integrated OpenStack supports Unicode, the following items must only contain ASCII characters:

• Names of OpenStack resources (such as project, users, and images)
• Names of infrastructure components (such as ESXi hosts, port groups, data centers, and datastores)
• LDAP and Active Directory attributes
