Non-English Error Messages
--------------------------

`mysqld' can issue error messages in the following languages: Czech,
Danish, Dutch, English (the default), Estonian, French, German, Greek,
Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Norwegian-ny, Polish,
Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, and Swedish.

To start `mysqld' with a particular language, use either the
`--language=lang' or `-L lang' options. For example:

     shell> mysqld --language=swedish

or:

     shell> mysqld --language=/usr/local/share/swedish

Note that all language names are specified in lowercase.

The language files are located (by default) in
`MYSQL_BASE_DIR/share/LANGUAGE/'.

To update the error message file, you should edit the `errmsg.txt' file
and execute the following command to generate the `errmsg.sys' file:

     shell> comp_err errmsg.txt errmsg.sys

If you upgrade to a newer version of MySQL, remember to repeat your
changes with the new `errmsg.txt' file.
