Language Support

Good Morning - Some questions regarding using different languages. I am only familiar with English within the Database. If we currently have all our databases on the instance as English, am I able to add another database to use Unicode that is able to use Chinese, Spanish, etc or is that done at the instance level? The other question is I thought I had read there was a way to set up an Enterprise replication instance as supporting international languages and have the Primary be English only and it would essentially translate on-the-fly - Anyone know of this? Thanks, Tom

Hello. Your database language is database specific, one instance could have several databases, each one with a different language, ok? Version 11.70.xC3 started to do ER with different codes, between the databases, check it out here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v117/topic/com.ibm.po.doc/new_features.htm#xc_3 Hope it helps.
