Character Set Support
Replication Server supports all Sybase-supported character sets and performs character set conversion of data and identifiers, as needed.
Sort Order Support
Replication Server uses sort order, or collating sequence, to determine how character data and identifiers are compared and ordered. Replication Server supports all Sybase-supported sort orders, including non-binary sort orders. Non-binary sort orders are necessary for the correct ordering of character data and identifiers in European languages.
Message Language Support
Replication Server can print messages in French, German, and Japanese to the error log and to clients. You specify languages with the RS_language parameter in the Replication Server configuration file.
