At runtime, Open Client and Open Server applications pick up localization information from external files. Three directories in the Sybase release directory contain these files:
The locales directory contains:
The locales.dat file, which maps locale names to languages, character sets, and collating sequences.
The message subdirectory, which contains localized error messages for Open Client and Open Server, organized by language name.
language_name subdirectories, which are included to provide compatibility with previous releases of Open Client and Open Server software. These directories contain localized message files organized by character set.
The unicode directory, which contains error message files for system management utilities.
The charsets directory contains a subdirectory for each supported character set. Each subdirectory contains sort and conversion files for the character set.
The ini directory contains:
The objectid.dat file, which maps a global identifier for an object to local platform-specific names.
All Open Client and Open Server products include files to support at least one language and one or more character sets and collating sequences. During installation, these files are loaded into the Sybase home directory structure in the correct locations.
When configuring an Open Client or Open Server application, you must verify that the above directories contain the correct files for your site and application.
