How to install Japanese locale on AIX 5.1

[Tusshar]

I have one machine with AIX 5.1 and english locale installed. Now I
want to install Japanese locale on that machine. What steps do I have
to follow? Is there any installer available on internet which I have to
download and install or is it already present on my AIX box and I have
to activate it?
Following is the output from "locale -a" command.
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.8859-15
en_US.ISO8859-1

I need this information ASAP. Any help will be highly appreciated.

The simplest would be to read the installation Guide.

Another simple approach is:

Get all Message file for en_US currently installed on your System and
install the corresponding japanese filesets

# Preview install these filesets
$ installp -d . -pagXY ` lslpp -L |awk '{print $1}' |\
egrep "^X11|^devices|^sysmgt|^printers|^bos" |\
grep -w msg | sed 's/\.en_US\./\.ja_JP\./' `

If you are happy remove the p option from installp and redo the command

If you have the AIX 5.1 installation CDs, you can use the following:

Start SMIT
Choose System Environments
Choose Manage Language Environment
Choose Add Additional Language Environments
Use F4 to list the available CULTURAL convention to install. Search for
JA_JP or ja_jp and select the desired cultural convention.
Repeat for LANGUAGE translation to install
Reapply your current maintenance level package to get any updates to
the newly installed filesets.

Thanx everybody for your prompt reply. That really helped me installing
Japanese locale on AIX machine. One quick question I have is, how do I
configure AIX machine to Japanese locale with Japanese input?
