Overview of localization support

particular language or country environment, including translated system
messages and correct formats for date, time, and currency. Adaptive
Server supports localization for international customers and for customers
with heterogeneous environments.
This support includes:
• Data processing support – Adaptive Server comes with character set
and sort order definition files it uses to process the characters used in
different languages.
Sybase provides support for the major languages in:
• Western Europe
• Eastern Europe
