At runtime, Open Client and Open Server applications load localization information from external files. Three directories in the $SYBASE directory contain these files:
The locales directory contains:
The locales.dat file, which maps locale names to languages, character sets, and collating sequences
The message subdirectory, which contains localized error messages for Open Client and Open Server, organized by language name.
language_name subdirectories, which are included to provide compatibility with previous versions of Open Client and Open Server software. These directories contain localized message files organized by character set.
unicode directory, which contains error message files for system management utilities.
The charsets directory contains a subdirectory for each supported character set. Each subdirectory contains sort and conversion files for the character set.
The config directory contains:
The objectid.dat file, which maps global names for objects such as character sets and languages to local platform-specific names.
