Chapter 9: Configuring Character Sets, Sort Orders, and Languages

Types of localization files

Adaptive Server includes several localization files for each Language Module, as shown in Table 9-11.

**Table 9-11: Localization files**
File	Location	Purpose and contents
locales.dat	In the locales directory	Used by client applications to identify the default message language and character set.
server.loc	In the character set subdirectories under each language subdirectory in the locales directory	Software messages translated into the local language. Sybase products have product-specific *.loc files. If an entry is not translated, that software message or string appears in U.S. English instead of the local language.
common.loc	In each language and character set directory of the locales directory	Contains the local names of the months of the year and their abbreviations and information about the local date, time, and money formats.

WARNING! Do not alter any of the localization files. If you need to alter any information in those files, contact your local Sybase office or distributor.
