Well...it is possible that someone has used the catopen() or maybe getcat(). This is a function that opens a message catalog. Now the requester would want to define the path (NLSPATH) for themselves...but let's say they define a wrong path or no path, the result might be that catopen() would default to the system-wide default path; or if the default is affected by LC_MESSAGES if the value of oflag is NL_CAT_LOCALE. If the value of oflag is zero, the default is affected by the environment variable LANG. Check the environ (5) for details.
A message catalog descriptor remains valid in a process until the process closes it, or until a successful call to one of the exec() functions. A change in the setting of the LC_MESSAGES category may invalidate existing open catalogs.

Hope that helps or at least gives you an idea to check out..

The actual problem is this:
I am building 11.11 version of the product on 10.20 machine.
I have set the Build environment appropriately.
The NLS messages should be picked from the build environment
Instead it looks,it is taking from the default location and that is 10.20 message catalog.

What should I do.

Any info on this would be appreciated.

You may need to define the NLSPATH in your environment.

Take a look at the manpage for environ(5) and it will explain this for you.
