The locale language is an indicator of the language being used by the user of the client application, or expected to be used by users of the database server.
For a list of supported locale languages, see “Language label values”.
For more information about how to find locale settings, see “Determining locale information”.
The database server determines the language component of the locale as follows:

For more information, see “ASLANG environment variable” in Sybase IQ Reference Manual.

If the language cannot be determined by the above settings, it defaults to English.
