[ADOBE] Locale settings: country different than language

Hello ABAPers.
I'm getting started with Adobe forms and I have encountered an issue with locale settings.
I support multilingual and international system. This means I have to respect both formats of figures. One thousand may look as follow:
1,000.00 or 1000.00 (English formatting used by Japan, UK, USA, etc.)
1.000,00 or 1000,00 (European formatting used by rest of the world)
When printing Adobe form, I pass structure of type sfpdocparams. In thi structure I have 2 important fields:
- LANGU -> it impacts on texts language
- COUNTRY -> it should impact on locale, which means formatting of figures and dates.
If I pass LANGU='E' and COUNTRY='EN' it behaves properly
If I pass LANGU='D' and COUNTRY='DE' it behaves properly (I get European formatting)
If I pass LANGU='L' and COUNTRY='PL' it behaves properly (I get European formatting)
If I pass LANGU='E' and COUNTRY='PL' I get a problem. I have then English language (correct) and English formatting (error!)
If I pass LANGU='L' and COUNTRY='DE' I also have a problem. Language is determined correctly (Polish), but formatting is English even though both Germany and Poland use European formatting.
I have tested all possible combinations of langu/country. Above are just examples. The conclusion is as follow:
If language is not in line with country, Adobe takes locale en_US or en_GB. I've checked file trace.txt from PDF generation. I've found something like this: "System locale: en_GB".
I have saved my XFD.xml file from printout with settings LANGU='E' and COUNTRY='PL'. Printout was broken, but when using this XFD for preview in designer, I get correct formatting.
Originally form's locale was English (it's a copy from standard form SD_SDOC_FORM01), but I have changed it to Polish (European formatting) - it didn't help.
I have checked also that print program uses a statement SET COUNTRY.
Only Idea I have now is to control formatting using scripting in FormCalc or JavaScript. FormCalc delivers function to control locale of date fields:
$.format.picture = DateFmt(1, $.locale);
but I couldn't find any of such functions to control figure's formatting.
Or maybe it's some server setting? If so, then how to manage it?
Please advise,
Michał

Hi guys.
I've found a workaround. I can use scripting:
$.locale = "pl_PL" (or any other European)
with some logical restrictions naturally. I will have to check variable COUNTRY first.
Yet it's not a nice solution. I have to enter this script into each numeric field in the form, so if anyone knows the proper solution (SAPnote, ot print server settings), please share.
regards,
Michał

Howto change country different than language?

There is Region which has "country (language)" in "language & text" in "system preferences".
After installing SL it was "Finland (English)".
I fiddled it a bit and now I can't change it back.
Is it possible to have different country & language in Region?
How?

Tom Gewecke wrote:
To be more precise:
After installing OS, the Formats had "Finland (English)".
I have never seen that and don't know how to duplicate it.
It's easy: install OS and select English as main language at the beginning.
Afterwards, when installer asks your country, select something else than country with english as main language.
I'd like to have it back.
Could you tell me what you think having it back would change about your system from the way it is now? Perhaps there is another way to get what you want.
I don't know how much more detailed I can explain this:
I had in System Preferences in Language & Text in Formats, Region set as "Finland (English)".
I want to use English as my OS's language, but have Dates, Times & Numbers having the notation we use in Finland, but with English language.
Right now my menu bar says: "Safari File Edit View History Bookmarks Window Help su 28. marraskuuta 14.36.50"
So it has mixed languages.
I'd like to have that like it was after installing the OS: ""Safari File Edit View History Bookmarks Window Help Sun 28 Nov 14.36.50".
If I choose UK or USA in region to get the date in English, I have wrong currency and time is notated differently.
Seems to be that to achieve back "Finland (English)" in Region, I'll have to either manual set all notations or hack the .plist.
I'd call this a bug.

Varying locale settings among different applications?

Hi, I'm using the Hebrew locale on my Arch system, which is right to left.
While this setting works pretty well on the Gnome desktop, some applications get messy from it (Like Nicotine-Plus the soulseek client, and some others)
How can I make the Hebrew locale the default for all the applications, and set the US locale for others? Or, make the US the default and apply the Hebrew one to the applications I want?

modifying anything in /etc/ to that intent would just negate the effect of your current hebrew locale everywhere.
so, he meant, just start apps with
LANG=whatever your_command
in console.
if you want, write a wrapper script per app to do just that: e.g I set my PATH (in e.g /etc/profile) to have /usr/local/bin before everything else, and if I want 'man' command to be overriden with specific locale i create /usr/local/bin/man with content
#!/bin/sh
LANG=fr_FR man $*
chmod it +x, and go, man will always spit french. it will only fail when .desktop files or scripts point to 'man' with absolute path. in that case, e.g for menus, I just create another menu entry pointing to the wrapper script, and delete the previous entry.

Adobe Media Encoder exports different video than what appears in CS4 timeline

I'm using Premiere CS4 to edit a short skiing video. All shots were taken using a GoPro @ 60fps, 720p. All of the clips were converted into slow motion by using "Interpret Footage" and setting the frame rate to 24. I used the sequence preset "AVCHD 720p 24", and editing seemed to work fine. The video played smoothly and correctly. However, after exporting in Adobe media encoder, the video was far different than what I previewed in the timeline. It seems as though each clip shows up at the correct time, but it disregarded any trimming I did to the clips and each one is played from the very beginning. Also, each clip plays extremely slowly, and there is signifigant ghosting (frame blending issue?). I can also see that the preview window that shows up while I set the export settings displays the incorrect video as well. However, if i change it from "source" to "output", it displays it correctly. I tried exporting using H.264 720 24p and the youtube HD widescreen preset, both of which failed. I am somewhat new to HD video, but I cannot seem to come up with any reason why my video will not export correctly. Any thoughts?

I don't think AVCHD is the correct preset... but I use CS5 so not 100% sure

Why is the font Garamond Premier Pro bought through Adobe different than the website?

Hello,
I really liked the font from Adobe, Garamond Premier Pro and I purchased it, hoping to get great documents but unfortunately, it does not look crisp even if I put the size at 14, put it in bold... It looks completely different than the demo and I don't know why it looks the way it does.
I've attached a Word document which represent the way it looks. Hopefully you will see what I mean.
Thank you,

Can external users change their language, time zone, and locale settings?

Hi,
We’re migrating our hosts from WebEx cloud to our on-prem solution right now (CWMS 1.5.1.323.A).
We’ve learned that CWMS 1.5 does not provide an online address book where hosts could customize language, time zone, and locale settings for their external attendees.
Do external users have any chance at all to change their language, time zone and locale settings individually?
Thank you,
Helge

Hi Dejan,
"external users" are those participants, who do not have an LDAP account in our deployment, since they are not intendet to act as hosts: our stakeholders, partners, customers, clients.
It looks, as if these people would stick to the systems' default language / time zone / locale.
We are wondering if there might be a CWMS-component like this:
https://artcom.webex.com/cmp0307l/webcomponents/widget/preference.do?serviceType=MC&siteurl=artcom&target=Page&backUrl=%2Fmw0307l%2Fmywebex%2Fdefault.do%3Fsiteurl%3Dartcom%26service%3D1
to allow those "extenal" participants to make their adjustments.
Thank you,

[SOLVED] makepkg builds differently than local build

SOLUTION: my makefile with `CFLAGS += ...` did not pick up the local CFLAGS environment variable, with the command in my second post, my local build has the same issue as the makepkg build.
I have a project of mine alopex which I'm polishing up a new version for. I've been running a locally built version for a while, but when I installed it with makepkg I'm getting all sorts of memory errors and crashes when I run it.
The first obvious difference between my local build and makepkg was that makepkg strips the binary - so I stripped the local binary, but no change: the local build in ~/code/alopex/ worked fine, but the makepkg/pacman installed version in /usr/bin/ did not.
The next step was to source /etc/makepkg.conf for the local build to use all the same CFLAGS and LDFLAGS as a makepkg build. But this also lead to no change in the results.
Here are the two files, both from the exact same git source, both built with makepkg.conf build flags, and both stripped.
$ ls -l /usr/bin/alopex
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 48280 Feb 13 14:21 /usr/bin/alopex
$ file /usr/bin/alopex
/usr/bin/alopex: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=03e8e16e7208d6c97bce6bd545f45d20c7a7606a, stripped
$ ls -l ~/code/alopex/alopex
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jmcclure users 54760 Feb 13 14:30 /home/jmcclure/code/alopex/alopex
$ file ~/code/alopex/alopex
/home/jmcclure/code/alopex/alopex: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=0659354ed5a904fe93894f14d6bd413ea278396e, stripped
I can't figure out why the binaries are difference sizes and have different checksums. I suspect there is an error in my code that is only exposed when built with makepkg - but this is hard to track down without knowing what makepkg is doing differently than my local build. To be sure relative paths couldn't be relevant, I also moved the locally built binary to /usr/bin/ (overwriting the makepkg/pacman one) and it executed just fine.
So - my main question is, in addition to stripping a binary and using the makepkg.conf flags, what else is different about the makepkg build and my local build? I'm guessing it might have to do with makepkg using a clean chroot build environment (right?), but namcap doesn't detect any missing dependencies or any other issues.
Below are many details that may or may not be relevant
EDIT: in case it's relevant, here is the `env` output for the local build with only the PS1/PS2 and LS_COLORS removed as they are long and I can't imagine relevant.

As a temporary work-around, I found that the following produces a working binary and somehow avoids the step that is leading to the crashes
makepkg
cd src/alopex
make clean
make
cd ../..
makepkg -efi
I've been tinkering with readelf to see what differences I can pinpoint. I really don't know what I'm doing, but it seemed the symbols (-s) and dynamic links (-d) were all the same between the two version except for the addressess/offsets/hex-number-column. So I tried checking the readelf -h output and I get a couple differences there - in this output, the /usr/bin/alopex version is the working one:
diff <(readelf -h /tmp/alopex/pkg/alopex-git/usr/bin/alopex) <(readelf -h /usr/bin/alopex)
11c11
< Entry point address: 0x4030d8
> Entry point address: 0x403020
13c13
< Start of section headers: 46488 (bytes into file)
> Start of section headers: 52968 (bytes into file)
17c17
< Number of program headers: 9
> Number of program headers: 8
I'm not sure what these differences mean, but they are consistent with every working and non-working build.
Readelf -l output indicates that the extra program header in the nonworking version includes the following:
08 .init_array .fini_array .jcr .dynamic .got
Each of these symbols exist in the working binary as well, but they are duplicated in the non-working version (still no idea what this actually means, but in case someone else can decode this ...)

Crap - you are, of course, right. It seems my Makefile is not doing what I thought it was. I define makefile variables for flags with += operators, which I thought picked up the current value from the environment. But it seems not to do this.
I plan to fix the crashes, but I was stumped, and I wanted to know why it worked in some builds and not others - I'm hoping this information will help narrow down what my coding error is.
EDIT: a local build with `CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS" make` reproduces the error.
Thanks for the help - now I know which flags expose my error, so I may be able to narrow it down.
FOLLOW-UP: Thanks again - while I have no doubt that my troubleshooting steps are unconventional (as I have no 'conventional' training in programming) this did allow me to track down a bug in my code which I had been missing.

Hi – I’m resending you the instructions I got from Adobe-Sarah below again.
Nancy
Sarahktrapp at Adobe sent me instructions on how to access my original account on behance. Please read all of this because it did not work completely the way she told me.
Phase 1:
Sarah’s from Adobe Instructions:
Thanks for getting in touch. Your Behance account (be.net/yourname) is connected to the Adobe ID ( your original behance email address), so this is what you'll need to use to login.
Please click login, click the Adobe ID button, and enter ( your original behance email address) and your Adobe ID password.
If you'd like to link your Behance account with a different Adobe ID, after you're into your account, you can visit this page and choose "link to a different Adobe ID:" https://www.behance.net/portfolio/promote
Phase 2:
My results and what I reported back to Sarah at Adobe:
I followed your instructions, but it did not work for me. I clicked login, and then clicked the Adobe ID, I entered ( my original behance email address) and my Adobe ID password. When I clicked Sign In a message says “The Adobe ID and password do not match. Please try again.” I then tried logging in by clicking the Adobe ID, added the (my original behance email address) with my password I used on the original Behance account. The Adobe ID asked my birthdate and it seemed to work. Not sure how it worked, but thanks.
I hope this helps you.

JVM bug with Turkish locale settings (windows)

Hello,
There is a serious bug in all versions of java virtual machine. When you set your locale settings to Turkish language, you can not install & use database driven java applications (that needs to create a database). For example; you can't install oracle 9i or 10g, ORA-12560 arises in database creation phase; and you can't install Readerware (a book cataloger), it locks-up in database creation phase, too. Ofcourse when you change your language to English or another language the problem goes away.
I found that the source of the problem is JVM's wrong character mapping. It fails to convert Turkish and English "i" and "I" characters correctly (they're different in Turkish).
Is there anybody to fix this issue in the next release ?
Thanks,...

I logged a bug about Java's Turkish Collator implementation: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4688797.
I'm not sure if your issue would fall into the same category. It looks like a separate bug to me, although closely related.
Try logging that bug, or adding this to the bug above.

Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
So which is the less of the two evils?
If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

Distiller - Adding Adobe PDF Settings

I have created postscript files using InDesign to output to pdf format using Distiller. I have created a file with the pdf settings as required by my service provider but when I try to use the "Add Adobe PDF Settings" in Distiller I'm getting the message "Cannot save Adobe PDF settings file: C:\" followed by the location where the file is stored and "Please contact your local systems administrator."
I am the local systems administrator so I don't understand why am not allowed to add the pdf settings I've created to the list available for use in Distiller. Can anyone provide suggestions for a fix?
Thank you in advance.

I created the new job options from within Distiller by editing one of the standard job options files and saving it using a different name. I made sure to save the new job options file in the same folder where the standard options are saved. When I chose "add Adobe PDF settings" I navigate to that folder and select the new file but when I click "open" I get the message referenced above.

I also tried creating a new file by navigating to the folder where the default files are located through Windows Explorer. I opened one of the existing joboptions files, edited it and saved it using a different file name but I get the same message when I try to add that file in Distiller.

Airport Extreme 802.11n reports incorrect Locale and Country Code

I have just replaced my MacBook Pro CoreDuo's Airport Extreme card with a Mac Pro one that gives excellent throughput with 802.11n but, depending upon which channel it connects to the wireless router, System Profiler displays a weird selection of locales and country codes (e.g. locale: RoW, country code X2) .... perhaps this does't matter ... perhaps it does as other threads here report not being able to make a connection when an available channel is supposed not to be available in the incorrectly reported country.
What controls this (incorrect) choice and how can it be fixed?
System Profile of en1:
Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x88)
Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.19)
Locale: RoW
Country Code: X2
Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n

AirPort-Guy wrote:
The Locale is programmed into the card. If you bought your Mac Pro in a country other than where you are currently living, and you are using the card that came with it, you could be violating your country's wireless regulations.
Actually this is not entirely correct.
Rather the Mac sets its AirPort country code based upon the first beacon packet containing regulatory domain information received when the Mac starts passively listening to incoming packets after the AirPort interface is enabled.
RoW does stand for "rest of world" and the "X" domains are temporary used ones when searching for regulatory domain information.
So if you're seeing your Mac's AirPort card programmed to a different country code regulatory domain than it should be, it's because someone near you is using an illegal wireless access point/router.
