Hi Salman,

What did you see when NLS_LANGUAGE is set to FRENCH? Is it only the accented characters that are not appearing correctly?

i did the following by connectiung scott
remember that i m working in the SQLPLUS where my SERVER is installed

SQL> select x;
select x
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected


now i set the NLS_LANGUAGE

SQL> alter session set NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH;

Session altered.


now i again run the same statement but error message is still in english

SQL> select x;
select x
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected


so any solution

Did you install the non-English languages when you installed Oracle?

Here is some information from Oracle's Globalization Support Guide.

The language-specific binary message files that are actually installed depend on the languages that the user specifies during product installation. Only the English binary message file and the language-specific binary message files specified by the user are installed.

one thing more to tell that when i query EMP...the data formate is according to french..so the problem is just that error messages are not being displayed in french

Salman,

I still think that you may not have all the 'nlb' files
installed. Here is what I get on my machine.

Laurent is right. You should be looking for the '.msb' (message binaries) files.
Here is what I get on my unix installation. 
find $ORACLE_HOME -name "sp1*.msb"
/tech/oracle/product/v920/sqlplus/mesg/sp1us.msb
Salman Qureshi
well i m working on Windows 2000 and when i searched for .msb files, i found many on different locations but non starts with SPL..i mean spl*.msb...so if anyone who has done this on windows plz tell me and another thing that now if i try to do a custome installation for this NLS support then whgich feature should i install?
Regards
Salman Qureshi
another thing that no file is on the path that u have specified according to ur unix environment...i mean to say that there is no "app" directory in my ORACLE_HOME directory
Regards
Laurent Schneider
do you have some files in $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg ?
