At runtime, Open Client and Open Server applications pick up localization information from external files. The following three directories in the Sybase release directory contain localization information:
locales directory, which contains files that your application uses to load localization information. It also contains language-specific message files.
charsets directory, which contains conversion and collating sequence files for each supported character set.
config directory on UNIX and ini directory on Microsoft Windows, which contains the global object identifiers file.
collate directory, which the Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) uses for sorting. Each character set comes with one or more sort orders that ASE uses to collate data.
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 release directory structure in the correct locations.
The installation process automatically loads any additional Open
Client and Open Server Language Module for connectivity into the
Sybase release directory in the correct locations.
