The LANGUAGE option controls the initialization of locales. A locale includes the language and the date, time, and number formats to be used for the console and server.
If your client and server are running different languages, the messages that are generated might not be understandable when messages are issued from the client to the server or if the server sends output to the client.
If initialization of the locale fails, the server defaults to American English.
If the initialization of the locale fails, the server defaults to American English and uses the date, time, and number formats that are set by the DATEFORMAT, TIMEFORMAT, and NUMBERFORMAT server options.
