Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Startup Command and Parameter Reference

> ## Language (-lng)

> Use Language (`-lng`) to specify the initial return value for the `CURRENT-LANGUAGE` function. This setting determines from which r-code segment Progress reads character-string constants.

> Operating system and syntax | UNIX Windows | `-lng` `language-name`
> Use with | Maximum value | Minimum value | Single-user default | Multi-user default
> Client Session | – | – | ? | ?

> ``language-name``

> A character string that contains the name of the current language.

> The default value for the Language parameter is a character string that contains the question mark (`?`) character, which is not to be confused with the Unknown value (`?`). This tells Progress to use the default language for the application.

> For more information on the Language startup parameter, see OpenEdge Development: Internationalizing Applications and OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Reference .
