Format of locales.dat File Entries

Each entry uses this format:

locale = platform_locale, syb_language, syb_charset 

where:

• platform_locale is the platform-specific keyword for a locale. For acceptable values, see your operating system documentation.

  For the site default locale, platform_locale is “default”.

• syb_language is the language directory to be used from within %SYBASE%\locales\language_name.

• syb_charset is the character set that determines the character set conversion method and identifies the directory location of the message files for clients from within %SYBASE%\locales\language_name\charset_name.

For example, this entry specifies that the default locale uses us_english for the language and iso_1 for the character set:

locale = default, us_english, iso_1
