It is possible that some of the code pages are named differently on Linux. For example, IBM-850 on AIX could be aliased to ibm850 on Linux and ISO8859-1 could be aliased to ISO-8859-1. Scripts might have to be changed if the application-message catalogues depend on some of these code pages and code-page conversions are required (which can be accomplished by using the iconv tool). Most of the common locales like ja_Jp, en_US, etc., are available on Linux.
