Further information - to clarify our problem:

It is just the data we want to be able to store/display/print not the
screens (well for now they seem ok with the english screens)

The language we are currently working with is Czech

There are around 10 characters used that we do not have in our english
alphabet.

Ross,

How are you storing the Chinese characters if you're not using NLS?

We use NLS and wIntegrate with Chinese characters and found the reverse
problem that without NLS we couldn't get the characters in and out of
Universe without lots of custom encoding and decoding.

Mike,

"what" are you looking to do here ? Are you looking at storing data with
these extended character sets ? and/or "simply" displaying
screens/reports with tags appropriate for the language/country (eg: a
Brit would probably prefer to see an English screen, rather than French
or German)

I can't speak for SB+ (never used it), though I thought it did have some
language translation features - at the DBMS level you MIGHT need NLS as
well (though we actually found it "got in the way" when dealing with
multi-byte (Chinese) character sets)

The problem you point out with the mailer underscores the nee to ensure
you have the "right" codepages loaded on the client, but I assume that
will b the case 4U
