<div><p>Different countries have different standards that must be taken
|
|
into account when developing an NLS-enabled application. This culturally sensitive
|
|
information must be placed outside the program the same way as the textual
|
|
data is handled.</p>
|
|
<p>Many languages have characters (such as common-usage vowels essential to
|
|
the correct spelling of a word) outside of the A-Z alphabet that must be considered
|
|
for collating purposes.</p>
|
|
<p>Through system values, the system supplies linguistic support, cultural
|
|
support, and the ordering of data.</p>
