By default, the Domino server uses the operating system settings to determine locale information. This locale information is used to determine the collation used by the Indexer for sorting views on the Domino server.
Administrators can change the settings by altering NOTES.INI values. It is possible to run the Domino server on with an operating system set for in one locale (for example, en-US, for US English) and have Domino use a different collation setting for sorting (for example, ru for Russian.)
Specify the following settings in the NOTES.INI on the server, using values from the Collation and Character Set tables below:
COUNTRY_LANGUAGE= xx (or xx-yy)
PLATFORM_CSID= nnnnnnn
