For the database server and the client application to communicate successfully, you must establish the appropriate GLS locales for your environment. A GLS locale name identifies the language, territory, and code set that you want your IBM Informix product to use. For the syntax of the components of locale names, see CLIENT_LOCALE.
IBM Informix product use the locale name to find the corresponding locale files. A locale file is a runtime version of the locale information. The locale name must correspond to a GLS locale file in a subdirectory of the Informix installation directory (which INFORMIXDIR specifies) called gls. For more information on GLS locale files, see Appendix A. Managing GLS Files.
