Usage Note 52598: How to set up SAS® to read Traditional Chinese data
This example uses SAS® 9.4 and Windows 7.
- If you can read Traditional Chinese, install the Traditional Chinese edition of SAS. Otherwise, use the English edition with double-byte character set (DBCS).
- Re-set regional and language settings for your PC:
- Select Start ► Control Panel.
- Click Region and Language.
- In the Region and Language dialog box, click the Administrative tab.
- On the Administrative tab, click the Change system locale button to display the Region and Language Settings dialog box.
- From the drop-down list, select your system locale value Chinese(Traditional, Taiwan) and click OK.
- Restart your computer.
- Change SAS system options for languages. The default setting in C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\1d\sasv9.cfg (for example) is Japanese. (For more information, see SAS Note 18317: "The default SAS® double-byte character set (DBCS) session locale is set to Japanese on SAS®9.") Change it in this manner:
- In Notepad, open file C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\nls\1d\sasv9.cfg.
- Search for the -LOCALE option.
- Comment out this line:
/* -LOCALE ja_JP */
- Add this new line:
-LOCALE zh_TW
