SQL Server supports languages on a couple of levels.
First, specifying a collation defines what language rules are used for
storing data and identifiers (identifiers are the names of database objects
such as tables, views, stored procedures). SQL Server 2000 includes a
Cyrillic_general Windows collation that supports the Russian language. If
you specify that collation as the default collation during setup, all of the
databases will support Russian data and identifiers. You can also specify a
collation when creating a database or even at the column level.
Second, there are localized versions of SQL Server in which the
documentation, help, user interface, and error messages have been translated
into a language. SQL Server 2000 has not been localized to Russian, so you
cannot get a version of SQL Server where the docs, help, UI, and error
messages are in Russian. However, you can store the user data in Russian by
specifying the Cyrillic_general collation during setup, or when creating a
database or tables.
If you would like to see a future release of SQL Server that is fully
localized into Russian, please email sqlwish@microsoft.com.
