SUMMARY
This article explains how to enable the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes to support double-byte character sets (DBCS) between Exchange Server and Lotus Notes with a North American or English version of the Notes client installed on an English version Windows NT Server.
Note You can get DBCS support for only one language at one time. This limitation is by design in Lotus Notes.
MORE INFORMATION
DBCS between Exchange Server and Lotus Notes is supported in the new and enhanced release of the Exchange Notes Connector in the Web 2 update. Most Asian languages are DBCS based, such as the following languages:
- Chinese-Simplified
- Chinese-Traditional
- Japanese
- Korean
DBCS support is integrated with the United States English versions of the Exchange Notes Connector and Exchange Server. In addition, the English version Notes client can support entry and display of DBCS characters that include Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese if you copy specific .cls files.
Configuring the English version of Windows NT Server and the Exchange Notes Connector to Support DBCS
To configure the computer running the English version of Windows NT Server and the Exchange Notes Connector to support DBCS:
- Locate the DBCS language that you want from the Langpack folder on the Windows NT 4.0 CD.
- Right-click the .inf file for the language that you want, and click Install; this adds the DBCS language that you want to the list in Regional Settings.
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional Settings.
- On the Regional Settings tab, click the language that you want in the list, and click to select the Set as system default locale check box.
- Restart the computer running Windows NT Server.
- Install the U.S. English version of Exchange Server version 5.5, Service Pack 1 or later.
- Install the U.S. English version of the Exchange Notes Connector (Service Pack 2 or later).
- Install the North American or International English version of the Notes client version 4.5 or later.
- On the Options tab of the Notes Connector property pages, click the Notes server language that you want, based on the DBCS client language that you want and not on the actual language of the corresponding Notes server.
- Follow the normal procedures to complete the configuration of the Exchange Notes Connector.
After you configure the Exchange Notes Connector, all of the DBCS information in the message header or body and all of the directory information is preserved between Exchange Server and Lotus Notes.
Configuring the English Version of the Notes Client to Support DBCS
To support DBCS such as Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese text, replace some of the .cls files of the English version Notes client with the files in the following list. These files are in the Notes program directory.
Note Quit Notes before you copy the following files.
To support the following languages, copy the files that are listed for that language:
- Japanese:
L_cp932.cls to L_cpdos.cls
L_cp932.cls to L_cpwin.cls
Colljpn.cls to Collstd.cls
Dbcs\Leadbyte.cls to Notes Directory
