The locales file

The Sybase locales file associates locale names with languages, character sets, and sort orders. Open Client and Open Server products use the locales file when loading localization information.

The locales file directs Open Client and Open Server products to language, character set, and sort order names, but does not contain actual localized messages or character set information.

For more information about the locales file, see the Open Client and Open Server Configuration Guide.
