The requirement is to support multiple language in same database. I know, there are multiple process involved in this. There are design considerations in Database layer, Business layer and Presentation layer. From database side, one of the step is selecting Collation. In this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/aa174903(v=sql.80).aspx , it is mentioned that
<Quote>If the users of your instance of SQL Server speak multiple languages, you should pick a collation that best supports the requirements of the various languages<Unquote>
I did not get this point. Let us say, my application needs to support English, Chinese and Japanese. What should be my collation? Let us say it is equally distributed.
I understand the other steps like Unicode datatype, code changes required etc. But i am not able to find any reference of a Collation which best suits for various languages. Could any one help ?
thanks
