A Japanese user interface for Maya is available
for users working on computers that support a Japanese environment
on Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. (Not available for Linux
operating systems.)
To run Maya with a Japanese user interface on
Windows, ensure that:
- the
computer is operating using either a Maya qualified Japanese Windows
operating system or a Maya qualified Windows operating system with
Japanese language support. If you are unsure how your computer’s
operating system is configured, please contact you company’s system
administrator or Microsoft technical support.
- the
default language for non-Unicode programs is set to Japanese. For
more information on setting the default language setting on a Windows
operating system, see
Run Maya with a Japanese user interface.
To run Maya with a Japanese user interface on
Mac OS X, ensure that:
- the
computer is operating using a Maya qualified Mac OS X operating
system.
- the
personal system language preference is set to Japanese. For more
information on setting the default language setting on a Mac OS
X operating system, see
Run Maya with a Japanese user interface.
Be aware of the following issues that relate
to the different language user interfaces of Maya:
- If
Japanese Maya text files (.ma, .mel) are to be used on other hardware
platforms and operating systems, you may need to convert them to
the text encoding appropriate for the destination platform (for
instance, Shift_JIS or UTF 8). For more information, see
Prepare Maya files containing Japanese text.
- Maya
only supports object names entered as single byte characters (ASCII,
or plain Western text).
- Maya
user preferences cannot be shared between its two language user
interfaces.
