CHAPTER 7 Customizing Localization for Adaptive Server
Configuration Guide 93
Language modules
If you want Adaptive Server error messages to be displayed in a language other
than U.S. English (us_english), you must install the appropriate language
module.
When you install a new language module, installation automatically loads the
language into the Sybase installation directory to support the new language.
For information about directories, see “Localization directories” on page 94.
Installing a new language module
A full Adaptive Server installation includes all the language components
automatically. If you did not select a full install, you must install additional
language modules manually.
To install a new language module:
1 Load the language module software from the distribution media. You must
load this software into the same directory in which you loaded Adaptive
Server.
2 Reconfigure the language and, if necessary, the character set and sort order
for Adaptive Server. For instructions, see “Changing the localization
configuration” on page 97.
Message languages
For messages, U.S. English is installed as the default language in Adaptive
Server. The following rules apply to language modules:
• During Adaptive Server installation or reconfiguration, you can specify a
default language other than U.S. English. However, you must have
installed the language module for the language you specify.
• If your clients require Adaptive Server messages in a language other than
U.S. English, you must load the language module for those languages.
Then, you can configure Adaptive Server to the language used by your
clients.
• If Adaptive Server does not support messages in a client’s language, these
clients receive messages in the server default language.
