• Database error messages are in the language of the locale, if support is explicitly provided for that locale with a special library.

  For example, explicitly supports Spanish-language error messages. If a database's locale is set to one of the Spanish-language locales, returns error messages in the Spanish language.

• The tools. In the case of the tools, locale support includes locale-specific interface and error messages and localized data display.

  For more information about localization of the tools, see the .

Localized messages require special libraries.

The locale of the error messages and of the tools is not determined by the database's localle set by the locale=ll_CC attribute when the database is created but instead 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 would not be returned in the language of the database's locale but in the language of the default locale instead.
