Localized MSDE 2000

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why localized MSDEs are necessary? Does
it have anything to do with storing localized strings?
Would the English version of an MSDE instance installed on
a - let's say - Chinese version of Windows OS, have
problems storing and working with Chinese characters?

nope... Localized versions have nothing to do with data storage...
Localized versions are only versions with localized strings contained in the
localized resource libraries...
All localized versions can store unicode data and set sort order and
collations as needed...
further info about collation can be found starting at
