What is wrong ? I couldn't find the csLocale_pt_BR.jar file. Is that the problem ?
IBM did not contribute the translated message files for Derby. It is my understanding that they are looking into doing this, but there are no definite plans for when or how that will happen. There will be translated messages in the Cloudscape 10.0 commercial release.
That said, feel free to translate the messages and contribute them to Derby. For toolsmessages, you should create a new file, toolsmessages_pt_BR.properties in java/tools/org/apache/derby/loc and put the translated messages there. You will then need to update the build.xml in that directory so that the messages are copied over to ${out.dir}/org/apache/derby/loc. This should make the translated messages available to the tools.
If you would like sysinfo to display that support for your locale is present, you will need to generate an info file for your locale. See Main.reportLocales() in java/tools/org/apache/derby/impl/tools/sysinfo (lines 326-413) to see how locale support information is reported. Sysinfo determines presence of support for a particular locale not from the presence of message files, but from the presence of a locale info properties file, org.apache.derby.info.locale_{locale}.properties. This file should contain proper values for the derby.locale.* properties that reportLocales() tries to look up:
derby.locale.external.name, with the form 'Locale Name [ISO_code]' e.g.: derby.locale.external.name= Portuguese/Brazilian [pt_BR]
The following properties correspond to the properties in org.apache.derby.loc.DBMS.properties:
derby.locale.version.major
derby.locale.version.minor
derby.locale.version.maint
derby.locale.build.number
The values of these properties are passed to org.apache.derby.iapi.services.info.ProductVersionHolder and sysinfo then reports the version via that classes' fullVersionString() method.
As a side note, better locale support (from a build/tools perspective) would be a good thing to put on Derby's to-do list.
