Replication Server can be configured to print messages to error logs and to clients in English, French, German, and Japanese. English is the default language.
Sybase recommends that all servers at a replication site be configured with the same language.
Replication Server supports all Sybase-supported character sets and sort orders, including non-binary sort orders and the Unicode UTF-8 character set.
Replication Server performs character-set conversion of data and identifiers between primary and replicate Replication Servers and databases.
Sybase recommends that all servers at a replication site use the same character set and that all Replication Servers in your system use compatible character sets.
Sort order plays an important role in processing subscriptions, and it must be consistent everywhere for subscriptions to be valid.
