Adaptive Server includes several localization files for each Language Module, as shown in Table 9-11.
File |
Location |
Purpose and contents |
|---|---|---|
locales.dat |
In the locales directory |
Used by client applications to identify the default message language and character set. |
server.loc |
In the character set subdirectories under each language subdirectory in the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/locales directory |
Software messages translated into the local language. Sybase products have product-specific *.loc files. If an entry is not translated, the software message or string appears in U.S. English instead of the local language. |
common.loc |
In each language and character set directory of the locales directory |
Contains the local names of the months of the year and their abbreviations, and information about the local date, time, and money formats. |
All Adaptive Server-related locales files (used by dataserver, sqlloc, syconfig, and so on) are in $SYBASE/SYBASE_ASE/locales. All Open Client/Server-related locales files (ctlib, ctisql, ctbcp, optdiag, installjava, and so on) are located in $SYBASE/locales.
WARNING! Do not alter any of the localization files. If you need to alter any information in those files, contact your local Sybase office or distributor.
