Appendix C: Localization

Location of localization files

Two directories in the %SYBASE% directory tree contain files related to localization:

%SYBASE%\locales, which contains the locales file (locales.dat) and a subdirectory for each available language.
%SYBASE%\charsets, which contains a subdirectory for each available character set.

The following table shows where localization files are located in the %SYBASE% directory tree:
