menu "Native Language Support"

config NLS
	tristate "Base native language support"
	---help---
	  The base Native Language Support. A number of filesystems
	  depend on it (e.g. FAT, JOLIET, NT, BEOS filesystems), as well
	  as the ability of some filesystems to use native languages
	  (NCP, SMB).

	  If unsure, say Y.

	  To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
	  will be called nls_base.

config NLS_DEFAULT
	string "Default NLS Option"
	depends on NLS
	default "iso8859-1"
	---help---
	  The default NLS used when mounting file system. Note, that this is
	  the NLS used by your console, not the NLS used by a specific file
	  system (if different) to store data (filenames) on a disk.
	  Currently, the valid values are:
	  big5, cp437, cp737, cp775, cp850, cp852, cp855, cp857, cp860, cp861,
	  cp862, cp863, cp864, cp865, cp866, cp869, cp874, cp932, cp936,
	  cp949, cp950, cp1251, cp1255, euc-jp, euc-kr, gb2312, iso8859-1,
	  iso8859-2, iso8859-3, iso8859-4, iso8859-5, iso8859-6, iso8859-7,
	  iso8859-8, iso8859-9, iso8859-13, iso8859-14, iso8859-15,
	  koi8-r, koi8-ru, koi8-u, sjis, tis-620, utf8.
	  If you specify a wrong value, it will use the built-in NLS;
	  compatible with iso8859-1.

	  If unsure, specify it as "iso8859-1".

	  DOS/Windows partitions correctly. This does apply to the filenames
	  only, not to the file contents. You can include several codepages;
