Adding Locale ID 31 to a system

  • I have a set of data from Turkey, using the ISO8859-9 character set.

    My server is English ISO8859-1 (I believe, it's definitely UK English).

    My design surface in SSIS tells me that Locale ID 31 is not installed.

    Can I simply add this to Windows without messing up our current default?

    (I hope that a system locale can co-exist with several input locales)

    If so, is there a direction somebody can point me in to see how it is done?

    TIA.

    If data can screw you, it will; never assume the data are correct.

  • [SOLVED] An additional language can be added to the OS, without changing system default.

    Then the correct locale can be selected in the souce connection and it takes care of nasty thousand/decimal seperators and date formats.

    Nice!
