Setting the Default Language

The default language for Verity is set with the vdkLanguage configuration parameter. By default, vdkLanguage is set to “english”. You can configure Verity to use a different default language. Table 6-6 lists the locales supported by Sybase.

**Table 6-6: vdkLanguage configuration parameters**
Language	Default Locale Name
English	english
German	german
French	french

Additional language adapters are available in the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_FTS/verity/common directory; however, the Full-Text Search engine displays messages only in the languages shown in Table 6-6.

The language parameter is the language the Full-Text Search engine displays its error messages and Open Server and Open Client error messages. Set the language parameter to the Adaptive Server language.

With the Enhanced Full-Text Search engine, run the following:

sp_text_configure KRAZYKAT, ’vdkLanguage’, ’spanish’
