Is Domino's database is different for different languages?

I am Creating the Contacts using Java Corba API from my application,

Code snippet saying : -

doc.appendItemValue(“Form”, “Person”);

doc.appendItemValue(“FirstName”, “Amit”);

doc.appendItemValue(“LastName”, “Saini”);

doc.appendItemValue(“MiddleInitial”, “K.”);

doc.appendItemValue(“InternetAddress”, “amit@yahoo.com”);

doc.save(true);

As i am hardcoding the “Form” and other field, will it work in some other locale (Japanese). or we need to do the locatization for these fields as well.

Thanx in advance.

I am sure that the item names are always English, so it is OK to hard code them. I am not so sure how FirstName and LastName relate to Japanese family names and given names. Different organizations might do this in different ways.

FirstName and LastName will be the Item’s name only.

I think domino understand the contact through the “Form” = “Person” and display the FirstName if we set the Item “FirstName” in that document, in that case we have no option other than hardcoding the item value while creating through the CORBA API and i hope same applies for Lotus script.

Correct me if i m wrong.

thanx
