Yes to DBCS capable. No to both languages. You only need the languages
installed if you want to see system panels and help text in that
language. DBCS capability is all you need to display the Chinese
ideographs contained within your database file. Note that all 530
systems are DBCS capable (about bloody time too!). See the Software
Installation Guide for instructions on how to convert an SBCS system to
DBCS (no longer needs a scratch install) .
Once these prereq's exist any manner of methods exist for translation
once
this is done, CPYF, JAVA, Etc.
You obviously have a different interpretation of "translation" if you
think CPYF will translate from Chinese to English. The only thing it
will do is ensure that an E in CCSID 937 (Traditional Chinese) stays as
an E in CCSID 37 (US English) if you are copying from 937 to 37. You
will not be able to copy DBCS ideographs from 937 to 37 because 37
cannot support them (it is an SBCS CCSID).
Translate usually means changing the language while maintaining the
meaning such as:
Good Morning
Guten Morgen
Buonas D~{(*~}az
Bonjour
Buona Mattina
~{$*$O$h$4$6$$$^$9~}
That requires a human translator or a very good lexical translation
program.
