Software messages directory structure

Figure 7-4 shows how localization files are arranged. Within the locales directory is a subdirectory for each language installed. There is always a us_english subdirectory. (On PC platforms, this directory is called english.) During installation, when you are prompted to select the languages you want installed on Adaptive Server, the install program lists the supported software message languages. If you install Language Modules for additional languages, you will see subdirectories for those languages. Within each language are subdirectories for the supported character sets; for example, cp850 is a supported character set for us_english. Software message files for each Sybase product reside in the character set subdirectories.
