Hi - Derby-2188 is about locale info within Derby. One file, cdevin55108.html, has some confusing info about locale and error messages.
Below is from Mamta's comment on this issue and I am hoping someone on derby-dev can address these issues for us. cdevin55108.html says "For example, Derby explicitly supports Spanish-language error messages. If a database's locale is set to one of the Spanish-language locales, Derby returns error messages in the Spanish language." So this seems to indicate that locale of the database will determine the language of the error messages. But the line below seems to say that locale of the database has nothing to do with language of the error messages. "The locale of the database is set by the territory=ll_CC attribute when the database is created. However, **the locale of the error messages and tools is not determined by the locale of the database**. The locale of the error messages and tools is determined 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 are not returned in the language of the locale of the database but are returned in the language of the default locale instead." Thanks! -- Laura Stewart
