The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,

you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.

NLSFUNC
Starts the Nlsfunc program, which loads country-specific information for
national language support (NLS).
You can use the NLSFUNC command either from the command line or within your
CONFIG.SYS file to support the use of country-specific information and
character set (code page) switching.
Do not use the NLSFUNC command while Windows is running. If you do, your
computer might stop responding.
Syntax
NLSFUNC [[drive:][path]filename]
In your CONFIG.SYS file, use the following syntax:
INSTALL=[[dos-drive:]dos-path]NLSFUNC.EXE [country-filename]
Parameters
[drive:][path]filename or country-filename
Specifies the location and name of the file containing country-specific
information. If you use this parameter in the INSTALL command, you must
include the drive and directory.
[dos-drive:]dos-path
Specifies the location of NLSFUNC.EXE.
