Stephen, Dick, SQL keywords are not "localized", they stay "English", as they are described in SQL standard (or Oracle's adaptation of it). What changes, is Oracle messages (i.e. error messages) - based on the language you select when installing Oracle software. Choosing character set (when creating the database) has nothing to do with it, it only specifies character set to be used when storing CHAR and VARCHAR2 data types.
