Localizing the application

An Open Server application’s localization values determine the language in which error messages are generated and the character set and collating sequence that are used for all data operations.

NoteYou can use SRV_S_USESRVLANG and SRV_T_USESRVLANG properties to override the server’s language when it generates error messages.

An Open Server application can use initial localization values, custom localization values, or both.

Most applications use initial localization values.

Initial localization values are determined when the application allocates its context structure. For information on how to decide whether your application can use initial localization values, see “Deciding what localization values to use”.
