Data/records in other languages

Hi,

Can the English version of Sql Server (or other DBMSs) store data/records in
other languages (e.g. French, Chinese, etc.) or
do you have to use the French version of Sql Server to store French data?

Where can I go to read more on this?

Thanks.

You can use Unicode data types (nchar, nvarchar, ntext) to store
Unicode data, and it doesn't matter what language your version of
MSSQL is. You can get more information in Books Online in the sections
on "Using Unicode Data" and "Collations".
