There are three elements that you can manipulate to configure your server language in an internationalized environment. Sybase suggests that you review these three elements and carefully plan the client/server network you want to create.
Character set – the language in which the server sends and receives data to and from the client servers. Select the character set after carefully planning and analyzing the language needs of all client servers.
Sort order – sort order options are dependent on the language and character set you select.
System messages – messages display in one of several languages provided by Sybase. If your server language is not one of the languages provided, your system messages display in English, the default.
The following sections provide details about each of these elements.
