> Laura, I looked at the cdevin55108.html page and I have to admit that the
> contents of it look confusing to me. The html seems to be giving
> contradictory information. May be someone who knows more about tools, error
> messages and how they are related to locale can help us determine the right
> content but I thought I will bring to the list's attention.
> The page says that "For example, Derby explicitly supports Spanish-language
> error messages. If a database's locale is set to one of the Spanish-language
> locales, Derby returns error messages in the Spanish language." So this seems
> to indicate that locale of the database will determine the language of the
> error messages. But the line below seems to say that locale of the database
> has nothing to do with language of the error messages. "The locale of the
> database is set by the territory=ll_CC attribute when the database is
> created. However, **the locale of the error messages and tools is not
> determined by the locale of the database**. The locale of the error messages
> and tools is determined by the default system locale. This means that it is
> possible to create a database with a non-default locale. In such a case,
> error messages are not returned in the language of the locale of the database
> but are returned in the language of the default locale instead."
> Sorry, at this point, I do not know enough about how tools and error messages
> work in Derby to tell you what is the right content for cdevin55108.html. I
> am hoping someone who knows more about this can help us.

> Mamta - I have asked on derby-dev about file cdevin55108.html. I suspect that
> Derby does not display the error messages in another language unless when IBM
> donated the code for Cloudscape, the error messages had been translated into
> other languges... any new messages since then will not appear in the locale
> language. However, there may be some kind of locale translator that is built
> in, which I am not aware of..
