Mac OS X is a multilingual operating system
which allows users to use languages other than the one selected during
installation. In more recent versions of OS X, it is included with all
installations of OS X. In older versions of OS X, such as 10.1 you had to
install Languages
Kits from Apple in order to read Chinese, Japanese or Korean on the
Internet. The Language Kit for CJK contains WorldScript software known as
scripts which support the encoding for the character set of a particular
language. Each language needs a separate script.
