At runtime, Open Client/Server applications pick up localization information from external files. Two directories in the Sybase release directory contain these files:
The locales directory contains:
The message subdirectory, which contains localized error messages for all products, organized by language name.
The locales file, which maps locale names to languages, character sets, and collating sequences.
The global object identifiers file, which maps global names for objects such as character sets and languages to local platform-specific names.
The charsets directory contains:
A subdirectory for each supported character set. Each subdirectory contains sort and conversion files for the character set.
The mnemonics file, which provides mnemonic strings for replacing source Unicode, if necessary.
All Open Client/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 release directory structure in the correct locations.
The installation process automatically loads any additional
Open Client/Server Language Module for connectivity into
the Sybase release directory in the correct locations.
