An alternate name lets you use your native language and character set to type, display, and look up names. For example, you can type a name in a native language and character set when sending mail. Your primary name is recognizable to an international audience; an alternate name is recognizable in your native language.

What's the difference between an alternate name and an alias?
An alternate name is a fully authenticated name, and an alias is not fully authenticated.
Viewing other people's alternate names
To view other people's alternate names, you must install a font capable of displaying the text, and specify an alternate name language. For instructions, see below.
Using an alternate for your name
Before you can use an alternate for your name, your administrator must register and certify one for you. Your primary name and alternate name must be added to your user ID. You can have only one alternate
name. You must also install the necessary fonts and specify an alternate name language. For instructions, see below.
To install other fonts
Unicode fonts provide support for many types of script within a single font. For information about installing Unicode fonts, see Using Unicode to add special characters to documents.
To specify an alternate name language
Choosing an alternate name language will let you display alternate names throughout Notes. For example, if you select Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese (Simplified) as alternate name languages, you will then be able to display alternate names in those languages in Notes on your computer.
