The locales file (locales.dat) provides platform-specific locale information in a Sybase proprietary format. This file associates locale names with languages, character sets, and collating sequences.
The locales.dat file directs Open Client and Open Server applications to localization information, but it does not contain actual localized messages or character set information. Open Client and Open Server applications use the locales.dat file to determine what localization information to load.
For more information about the locales file, see Chapter 5, “Editing the Locales File,”.
