Controlling the default language for new business users

Hi everyone,
If this has been answered elsewhere, my apologies for asking again.
My company is currently in the initial implementation of ByDesign (1405). I just migrated our employees into ByD using the migration tool. This went fine, and also created (inactive) Business Users for each employee.
One small issue I have, is that for each Business User created, ByD picked a "Default Language" based on the country where the user's organization unit is based (so Dutch for users assigned to an entity in the Netherlands, Danish for users assigned to a unit in Denmark, etc...).
This despite the fact that the only language we have configured in ByD during scoping is English. In fact, when you edit the default language on the business user record, the drop down only offers English as a choice.
Since this is our test environment, this is not a big deal, but I would like to prevent this once I migrate user to our production environment.
So: how do I make sure that the Default Language on each Business User created when creating an Employee is English? (I would rather not have to fix this manually for a large number of users).
Thanks!
Eelco

It applies to selected text. It is part of the text's style.
So if you want a document to be by default a particular language, make a template in which all the text and all the styles in the styles drawer are set to what you want.

  • How do I change the default language for the spell checker? - solved, sort of...

    As the previous thread was closed without actual resolution - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941350?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
    I managed to solve this on my end by just reinstalling firefox using the localisation of the default dictionary language i wanted from here - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    A bit of a shame that the main download page doesnt select the geographically relevant localisation for you and even more so that changing the default language for the in built spell checker is so kak. oh well.

    Right-click a web form on any web page.

  • How to set the default language for JRE?

    I appreciate the fact that JRE is intelligent enough to select language according to my system default codepage, which is 936 (Simplified Chinese). However, i don't find any option in java control panel or java.exe command line switch to change the codepage for Java back to 437 (which is the default codepage for US english). Is there any way to make the change?

    Thanks, finally i have a way to eliminate Chinese characters in console output. But I'd like to go one step further. Is there any way to permanently set the default encoding for JRE? I don't like the idea of having to add -Dfile.encoding every time i run a java program.

  • How do I change the default language for spell-checker please?

    I have seen the instructions below but cannot find the Personalization section?
    I currently have a US English spell-checker, I need a UK English one.
    Changing The Default Language
    Make sure you are on your homescreen.
    Tap on the Settings app to open the Settings App.
    Scroll to the Personalization section.
    Tap on Language.

    Have just found that if you select Install Language Pack but then, do NOT download it, just below and to the right of "Download Now" is "View other versions".
    Click on that and the second item is Version28.0
    Hover your mouse on that and you get " + Add to Firefox" - so select that.

  • Can I choose the default calendar for new events?

    I have multiple calendars in iCal. When I create a new event on the iPod, it always defaults to the same calendar, but it's a less frequently used calendar so that's rarely the one I want. Is there a way to set the default calendar to my most frequently used calendar so I'm not having to change to a different one on a regular basis?

    On the iPod you can select the default calender: Settings>Mail..>Calenders (Scroll to bottom of the Mail... screen).

  • Setting english as the default language for a new document with arabic version of CC apps

    first off, appologies for the screen name, the name i'm sure i had registered before with account was suppose dot be looged in as was barred, so i used this in frustration.  Read the book, The Etymologicon to learn more.
    and another note.  why is the font size in the subject on this form gigantic? intentional of cockup?
    Now, to the point.
    Please please enlighten me, I'm sure it's simple but i can't find the answer and have been haphazardly ploughing the net for half the night.
    I have installed the Arabic langauge version of CC software becuase i need to do a lot of bilingual layouts.
    But
    I generally use, and start with english, but the defualt new document is always set to all the arabic settings, which is a nightmare.
    How do i make english the defualt type (and all the paragraph and language options) while retaining the functionaility of arabic version. 
    I've found instructions for CS2-6 but nothing remotely sensible about CC, and presume i'm missing something really really obvious.

  • Is there any way to change the default folder for new finder windows...

    ...Or even set a different folder as the "home folder"?
    I am recovering from an incredibly messy archive and install which refused to allow me to save my old user accounts, instead moving them all into "Previous Systems". In my haste to get the machine working again I just dragged and dropped my old home folder into the /users/ directory and changed the "short name" of the new account to match it. IT worked, but now I have an incredibly irritating problem. That is now indeed my home folder, as appears in the sidebar of all finder windows, albeit under my new short name instead of my old one. All my documents in iWeb, Garageband, etc are working now and default to the new folder.
    However, Finder has not recognized this, and every time I open a new Finder window or anything like that it defaults to the home folder created by the reinstall, which is now locked to this account (so all the folders have a red no entry sign on them). I would very much like to tell Finder to ignore this now defunct folder and default to my actual home folder instead - is there a way to do this without actually moving or changing any folders? Like a preference setting somewhere? I know there's the "Advanced Options" pane in Leopard but I've been completely unable to find anything like it in Tiger

  • How do I change the default settings for new calendar events?

    So I am relatively new to Mac. I've been using iCal in conjunction with iCloud/iPhone heavily and one thing that I found really annoying is that by default, every new event that I make has two alerts already set. One message and one email message. It's really frustrating to have to go and set both alerts to "None" everytime I make a new event. I primarily use the calendar on my iCloud-synced iPhone to view and keep track of events and the Mac to actually create the events so there's no reason for me to need alerts on the computer. Is there any way to change the preferences so that there is no default alert?

    Look in the menubar, iCal > preferences > General tab > uncheck "Add a defult alert...."

    Colin,
    You may substitute any text you like for the "Placeholder Text", as it is called, in Pages. Click on the existing placeholder text and type something more to your liking. Do this in as many places as your particular template of interest demands. Then, Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text. Lastly, File > Save as Template.
    Now that you have defined a Custom Template to your liking, you can go to Pages Preferences and under the General tab's first section, define the new custom template as your default for each new document.

  • How to change the default langauge for logon-Urgent

    Hi All,
    I need to set the default language for the web-UI login (say english). Could you please help me how can I do it?
    My scenario is:
    Lets say if the end user is launching Web-UI from Germany (His browser default langauage will have German most of the time), Web-UI is picking German as default language while my client wants to show everything in English to everyone despite of any langauge in the browser.
    I have already set logon language to english in SU01/ in the service login data via SICF but still Web-UI is picking langauge from the browser, while If I am launching web-UI from my favourite list (in which i have set two paramater sy-langu = 'E' and sap-langauge = 'EN') then web-UI is not picking langaue from the browser.
    But in the ideal scenario user will launch Web-UI from the portal (Which can have diffrent diffrent application coming from diffrent-diffrent system  and I want to change the language only for web-UI application which is coming from CRM) not from the favourite list.
    Kindly provide me your input.

  • How to setup a default size for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver?

    Hi,
    how to setup a default size for a new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver? I don't need the default size for new divs as a 100% width, I need them 13.69% as a one coulmn width only (7 coulmns fluid grids layout for desktop size 1000w).
    This problem I've faced when I intended to insert dozens of fluid grid divs in the layout.

    Sorry, I don't believe that you have had a good look at the Foundation framework. I'll now hold your hand while we go through the basics.
    Here is the specific page http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/grid.html
    The default values are
    Em-base : 16px
    Row width: 62.5em (62.5em x 16px = 1000px)
    Columns per row: 12
    These and other default values can be changed. The fact of the matter is that if you stipulate a section width of 2 or 3 or 12 columns, the widths will automatically be calculated for you.
    In your case, if you want 7 columns, all you need to do is change the number of columns per row and the rest is done for you.
