> ### 6.12 Internationalization

> In general, Java uses the double-byte characters in Unicode to support the use of languages other than English. All versions of Interstage BPM use Unicode to support the use of languages other than English. There are, however, specific usages of Unicode that are not supported.

> User IDs, group (Role) names, and passwords cannot use Unicode. This has implications for the following Interstage BPM actions:

> · Logging in: If you log in using double-byte characters, your user ID and password may not be recognized by Interstage BPM and may appear incorrectly when displayed on the screen. This will affect your ability to perform almost all Interstage BPM operations.
> · Assignment (Reassignment) of Work items: Even if you are logged in with a user ID that uses characters only from the standard character set, trying to assign a work item to a user ID that uses double-byte characters may cause errors. Since Interstage BPM does not recognize user Ids that use double-byte characters, it will not be able to assign the work item to that user ID.

> There is one other exception that has to do with JavaScript commands and functions. Unicode can be used but only in code comments and String literals. Unicode cannot be used in JavaScript commands or functions.

> Other than these specific cases, Unicode double-byte characters can be used in any part of the Interstage BPM User Interface.

> Note: Interstage BPM does not support DBCS (double-byte character set) because it is different from Unicode.
