Abstract:  english block message shows only when concurrently install was and a JDK interim fix whose bit levels do not match

Description/symptom of problem:  
PI23802 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
The problem only exists when installing a WebSphere             
Application Server and a JDK interim fix together. When         
installed, if the WebSphere Application Server's JDK bit        
(32-bit, or 64-bit) does not match the interim fix's bit,       
Installation Manager will issue a block message and stop the    
installation. The problem is that you will only see an English  
message only no matter what system locale you are using.        

LOCAL FIX:                                                      

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of IBM WebSphere Application
Server installing interim fixes who bit
levels do not match.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
An English message is issued when
install interim fixes whose bit
levels do not match, regardless of
what system locale you are using.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When installing a WebSphere Application Server and a JDK
interim fix together, if the WebSphere Application
Server's JDK bit (32-bit, or 64-bit) does not match the
interim fix's bit, Installation Manager will issue a block
message and stop the installation. The problem is that you
will only see an English message only no matter what system
locale you are using.
The cause is that the English message was delivered in fix
pack 8009 while translated messages were not delivered in fix
pack 8009.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The interim fix of this APAR is to patch fix pack 8.0.0.9 with  
the translated messages.                                        
                                                                
The fix has been in fix pack 8.0.0.10 already via               
PI12816.  Please refer to the Recommended Updatespage for
