Appendix B
Localizing Cloudscape

Cloudscape offers support for locales. The word locale in the Java platform refers to an instance of a class that identifies a particular combination of language and region. If a Java class varies its behavior according to Locale, it is said to be locale-sensitive. Cloudscape provides some support for locales for databases and other components such as the tools and the installer.

It also provides a feature to support databases in many different languages, a feature which is independent of a particular locale. See SQL Parser Support for Unicode.
