A company in Germany runs a Samba file server that stores documents with German umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and the ß character. Windows clients connect using the default Western European code page (CP850 for German locales). The Linux server stores filenames in UTF-8. Users report that files created on Windows appear with garbled names on Linux, and files created on Linux appear garbled on Windows. The administrator wants to fix this while keeping the Linux filesystem encoding as UTF-8. Which configuration change should be made?

Set 'dos charset = CP850' and 'unix charset = UTF-8' in the [global] section.

Set 'display charset = UTF-8' and 'unix charset = CP850' in the [global] section.

Set 'dos charset = UTF-8' and 'unix charset = CP850' in the [global] section.

Set 'unix charset = UTF-8' and 'display charset = CP850' in the [global] section.

What is the primary purpose of internationalization in Samba?

To translate Samba documentation into multiple languages

To restrict Samba access to users from a single geographic region

To enable Samba to support multiple languages and character sets for client and server communication

To convert all file names to a single universal character set
