chinese localization of english software suite

Hi,
Our company is planning a project to localise our current software suite for
chinese market. As a SQL DBA, I would like to get more information of what
is involved from database admin and development perspective. I would
appreciate any help, artical links and/or materials links etc. Thanks.
I'm interested in this too. I would guess that you need Chinese locale,
collation etc. for the specific database.
Tables would be able to store Chinese characters. Developing programs may
still use English.

check whats needed if load doubled over the next few months

If we anticipate our load to double i.e twice the number of customers,etc..,
how do we go about planning if the db system today is adequate to meet that
demand ? What areas should we look at and what to consider to provide that
scale ?

You will need to start analyzing towards the capacity planning and
the elements you will have to think for
Disk Space
CPU (32 bit or 64 bit as per your need)
Memory :- based on CPU selection again you can think for Memory.
Thanks
Ajay|||Before you can answer that question, you need to determine where your
bottleneck will be on your database server when your number of customers
doubles.

other comments on this thread. Once you hit saturation points for various
resources, performance starts to degrade dramatically, sometimes at at
exponentially decreasing rate. You cannot specifically know WHERE the
limits are either, although a good analysis can get you pretty close
usually.
I will once again take this opportunity to recommend you hire a seasoned DBA
sooner rather than later. :)
