The information that will be printed in the selected language includes diagnostic messages, source listing page
and scale headers, FIPS message headers, message summary headers, compilation summary, and headers and notations that result from the
selection of certain compiler options (MAP, XREF, VBREF, and FLAGSTD).

If the LANGUAGE option is changed at compile time

some initial text will be printed
using the language that was in effect at the time the compiler was
started.
NATLANG:
The NATLANG runtime option allows you to control the national language to be used for the runtime environment, including error messages,
month names, and day-of-the-week names.
The LANGUAGE compiler option and the NATLANG runtime option act independently of each other.
You can use them together with neither taking precedence over the other.
