SAP-specific Locales

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.
