This package contains all the SAP specific locales needed for running an SAP Application Server. The SAP applications were originally written at a time when the standards for various locales were either not defined at all or were not in wide usage yet before the release of the SAP applications. Consequently, there now exists a divergency between the needs of the SAP applications running under Linux and what is being supplied via the GNU C Library Locales, which follows the current standards for the various defined locales. In order to be able to use SAP applications under SUSE Linux (and especially under SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES)), Novell is supplying this package which contains the legacy locales required for the SAP applications. The detailed list of locales is provided in package documentation. These locales can coexist with the standard locales on your system. This package covers the following locales, specifically: * cs_CZ.iso88592@SAP Czech using Latin-2 charset but with sorting order compatible with HP-UX and Windows instead of SunOS, Linux and CSN 97 6030 - numbers are sorted before letters in this locale. * sk_SK.iso88592@SAP Slovak using Latin-2 charset but with sorting order compatible with HP-UX and Windows instead of SunOS, Linux and CSN 97 6030 - numbers are sorted before letters in this locale. * de_DE.iso88591@SAP_HP Same as "de_DE.iso88591", but using the same collate as applies for the "de_DE.iso88591" locale on HPUX systems. * et_EE.iso88594@SAP Estonian using "Latin-4" as charset (the standard "glibc-locale" installation is using "Latin-1" also known as "ISO-8859-1" as charset). * lt_LT.iso88594@SAP Lithuanian using "Latin-4" as charset (the standard "glibc-locale" installation is using "Latin-1" also known as "ISO-8859-1" as charset). * lv_LV.iso88594@SAP Latvian using "Latin-4" as charset (the standard "glibc-locale" installation is using "Latin-1" also known as "ISO-8859-1" as charset). * ko_KR.euckr@SAP Korean locale using charset EUC-KR (superset of "KSC5601"). * tr_TR.iso88599@SAP Based on the "tr_TR" locale contained in "glibc-locale", but changes the "to{upper,lower}()" conversions found in the "glibc-locale" version for the following characters in the Turkish charset using ISO 8859-9: 0x49 (U0049) <=> 0xfd (U0131) and 0xfd (U0131) <=> 0x49 (U0049) 0x69 (U0069) <=> 0xdd (U0130) and 0xdd (U0130) <=> 0x69 (U0069). to what is needed on SAP systems: 0x49 (U0049) <=> 0x69 (U0069) and 0xfd (U0131) <=> 0xdd (U0130) 0x69 (U0069) <=> 0x49 (U0049) and 0xdd (U0130) <=> 0xfd (U0131). Using the SAP mapping of these characters resolved the ambiguous definitions found in the standard "glibc-locale" definitions that arise from the standard ISO 8859-9 definition itself. In the ISO 8859-9 standard, these unambiguous mappings are specified: 0x49 (U0049) <=> 0x69 (U0069) 0x69 (U0069) <=> 0x49 (U0049) together with these ambiguous definitions: 0xfd (U0131) <=> 0x49 (U0049) (ambiguous with the above!) 0xdd (U0130) <=> 0x69 (U0069) (ambiguous with the above!) which can be seen in the following references: http://www.eki.ee/letter/chardata.cgi?cp=8859-9&1st=with+first+half http://www.eki.ee/letter/chardata.cgi?lang=tr+Turkish&script=latin http://www.eki.ee/letter/ * ja_JP.SAPSJIS ja_JP locale using customized SJIS charmap covering also characters from the 0xExxx codepoint range. Note that the SJIS charset conversion is aliased to SAPSJIS in case this package is installed!
