During installation of DB2, the country, codepage, and regional settings are established. However, you can change these settings after installing DB2: including regional settings such as code page, country language (for monetary, date, and numeric formatting), and time zone. When a new connection to a database is made, the database manager uses these new values.
You must ensure that your regional settings are set correctly. DB2
may not produce the expected results if the country, code page, or regional
settings are incorrect for the intended language. Table 29 shows the languages into which the DB2 messages are
translated. If the setup is run on a machine that is set up using a
non-supported language, then English is the default unless the user has
specified otherwise.
