DB2 supports foreign languages in two ways:
1. error messages, online manuals and documentation are translated
2. with any national language version of the database installed (i.e. DB2
installed in English) you can support other national languages by creating
databases in the codesets required for that language, assuming the operating
system has the correct codepage (OS/2, Windows, NT) or locale (Unix) support.
Languages supported by DB2 Universal Database are discussed in Appendix O of the Administration Guide.
