If the Cluster Edition does not support the client’s language or character set, the client can connect with the server, but no character conversions occur.
When a localized client application connects to the Cluster Edition, the server checks to see if it supports the client’s language and character set.
If the Cluster Edition supports the language, it automatically performs all character set conversions and displays its messages in the client’s language and character set.
If the Cluster Edition does not support the language, it uses the user’s default language or the Cluster Edition’s default language.
If the Cluster Edition does not support the character set, it issues a warning to the client, turns conversion off, and sets the language to U.S. English.
