Hello
I have a problem with setting up collations for an SQL server.
I am entering german names and polish names in my server, so I need a collation that does multiple European languages, but I only have either german or polish collation. So when I use the german collation, I cant enter the polish names, and vice versa.
Does anyone know where I can find a collation that does multiple languages?
I need german polish english french spanish tchek danish and swedish. (I know its a lot).
thank you !

As far as I know not possible.
Besides our West-European countries we are also using NAV in Poland, Czech.
If you create a DB from a NAV client all the fields are defined as non-unicode (ex. char, varchar, text).
If you use unicode definitions (ex. nchar, nvarchar, ntext) then you should be able to support all languages. In case of non-unicode (the way NAV is working) your OS language codepage where the NAV client is running on is the key player.
The only solution I have found so far is to use a Polish or Czech Windows OS with an English NAV Client and then are able to write/retrieve Polish/Czech characters.
