Browser language settings

Hi,
In browser I have language settings as follows:
Czech(cs)
English(en_us)
My application does not support Czech and Iam getting labels broken string as lables (??xy.user.name??).
Can the application load english or default language properties if czech or selected language properties are not available?
If so what are the changes need to be made from application end.
Thanks,
mvrk

Hi,
Java's ResourceBundle provides you a way to fallback to JVM's default locale(i.e. Locale.getDefault()) and load the properties file for the default locale, if it does not find the resource bundle for the specified locale(e.g. Czech). You can make use this API. Please go through the Java API for details.
Also, for your web application you can design a locale fallback mechanism to determine the locale for a user session (if it is required in your application).
So that the determined locale is used as a parameter to load resource bundles as well as perform any other locale sensitive operations.
Hope this helps.

How to determine browser language settings?

Hi,
i want to create a flash chart diagram in APEX 4.0 with dynamic column names (series name={here the dynamic column header}) depending from the browser language setting. How can i determine the browser language setting in the flash charts sql?
Or is there any other way how i can create dynamic column header for this purpose?
Regards
Stephan

Hello,
Just wanted to remind you that APEX has a substitution string called BROWSER_LANGUAGE that holds the current browser language. No need to define extra application item and computation.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/concept.htm#sthref218
Also, if working with multi-lingual is a major motive in your application, you should learn how to use the APEX translation mechanism. It will save you the need to define your own language mapping tables and a lot of ‘CASE’ statements. It can be a real time saver. You can start here:

Dynamic browser language setting

Hi,
I need some information on internationalization.
Let me explain the issue..
In my application I need both English and Arabic views. It is possible to Change the language through internationalization.
But one more issue is there for Arabic language. I hope u all know that Arabic letters are from right to left. So I have to change the Browser Language settings also to Arabic..
But in my application it should be handled by an event. If u click Arabic button, you should get Arabic browsers and if English you should get English Browsers.
Can anyone help me on this dynamic browser language setting?
Thanks

When my Firefox language settings are fr_fr or fr_ca Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly when it is displayed in a javascript alert box. However, it does display it correctly when my language settings are just fr. Please t

Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly from a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_ca or fr_fr. However, it does it correctly when my browser language setting is fr. How do i get it to display e with acute accent and other iso8859 characters correctly in a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_fr and fr_ca?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Use Unicode (UTF-8) for those characters.
Then you will always be sure that they are displayed correctly.

Date/locale problems; first day of week / browser language

Hi,
I've been trying to create an event calendar PL/SQL portlet. My problem is that it reacts to browser language or something, so it goes all screwy when viewed with browsers in another language.
How can I force my portlet to be finnish and finnish ONLY. I DO NOT want it to change (first day of the week monday or sunday) depending on what browser the user is using. I have tried to use the third parameter to to_char(p_date, 'dd.mm.yyyy','NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = Finnish') in all places but it has no effect. Database locale is correct ( I think, I'm not the admin) but still it happens. Chrome, Firefox, IE show different stuff depending on the browser language.
I'll admit it is not the most elegant coding ever (if it were I would have taken this into account and dealt with it!) but is there any way to just force my dates and date variabes to be finnish, period.

Got it.
For public sessions, Portal will indeed investigate the browser language. Pending on the browser language, Portal can display in specific languages. Only when users login and set a language explicitly, will we maintain the language setting, unless the user switches browsers again.
The Portal DAD settings will indeed overwrite your system wide setting of NLS_TERRITORY. The dads.conf will have something like AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. If you want to overrule this in your portlet, you need to find a way of overruling the NLS_TERRITORY in the session. This can be done with dbms_session.set_nls('nls_territory','FINLAND');
e.g. for my previous example :
declare
date1 varchar2(2000);
date2 varchar2(2000);
date3 varchar2(2000);
begin
select to_char(sysdate,'Dy DD-Mon-YYYY') today into date1 from dual ;
select to_char(sysdate+ (1-to_char(sysdate,'D')),'Dy DD-Mon-YYYY') into date2 from dual ;
select to_char(sysdate+ (7-to_char(sysdate,'D')),'Dy DD-Mon-YYYY') into date3 from dual ;
htp.p('Territory set to AMERICAN');
htp.hr;
htp.p('Today : '||date1);
htp.br;
htp.p('First day of the week : '||date2);
htp.br;
htp.p('Last day of the week : '||date3);
htp.br;
htp.p('Territory set to FINLAND');
htp.hr ;
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_territory','FINLAND');
select to_char(sysdate,'Dy DD-Mon-YYYY') today into date1 from dual ;
select to_char(sysdate+ (1-to_char(sysdate,'D')),'Dy DD-Mon-YYYY') into date2 from dual ;
select to_char(sysdate+ (7-to_char(sysdate,'D')),'Dy DD-Mon-YYYY') into date3 from dual ;
htp.hr;
htp.p('Today : '||date1);
htp.br;
htp.p('First day of the week : '||date2);
htp.br;
htp.p('Last day of the week : '||date3);
end;

ESS/MSS Language settings or locale

Hi ,
I Have few Queries related to language settings.
I have set the default language as en_gb (english united kingdom )of the user in user administration .
When i login to the portal the default language in en_gb.
Now if the user chnage the browser language to De- DE german,then the page is not getting translated.How ever the translation is available if i dont set the default language in User administration.
can you which setting will get the more precedence.
Thanks,
nachy

Hi ,
I have checked it seems the language we assign in user administration is taking the precedance.
I have assigned the language in user administration for the user
(eg:user21).But if the user(eg:user21) wants to check the portal with
the german language.the user changes in internet explorer to German.But
the portal page is always en_gb.
We wanted to have default language for all users as en_gb and if they
chnage the language in internet explorer it should be translated to the
language selected(considered translation available for the selected
language).
Kindly suggest if there is some option for this.
Thanks,'
Nachy

[BO XI 3.0] - Strange behavior regarding language settings

Hello,
I found strange behavior BOE in infoview portal. We have Desktop intelligence documents published in repository and when we open report (first time) in infoview we have right format for date and numbers e.g. dd.mm.yyyy, 123.123,00.
When we close this report and open once again the format is en-US e.g. mm/dd/yyyy 123,123.00 and this is wrong. We log out and log in and open this report but no change.
If we restart services in cmc (deski services) then the first time is report ok and when we open again this report the same error.
SW:
Windows server 2003 sp2 - english (regional settings - slovenian)
BOE premium ( BO XI R 3.0 => the same problem in BO XI 3.1)
CMS database => Oracle 10gR2 (nsl lang SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.EE8MSWIN1250)
Language settings in infoview we check => use browser locale and slovenian
Thank you for reply!
In BOE R2 works fine...
Regards,
Gregor

Hi Gregor,
Try the following option.
Find the file i8ln.xml in the location
"<install directory of BO>\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\scripts\"
Take a backup of the file and make the follwing changes.
Find the following code in the file
activate_languages>
<state value="0"/>
<State value="0" cs_lang="Bulgarian"/>
<State value="0" orig_lang="" cible_lang="Bulgarian"/>*
<State value="0"/>
</activate_languages>
Replace it with:
<activate_languages>
<state value="0"/>
<State value="1" cs_lang="English (Australian)"/>
<State value="1" orig_lang="" cible_lang="English (Australian)"/>*
<State value="1"/>
</activate_languages>
Save the file.
Restart your Desktop Intelligence servers. It might take a bit of time to pick up the changes.
Note: If you start Deski after this change, and go to "Tools > Options", you will see a disabled language button with "English(....)" written on it.

Anisa

How do I change the browser language in Firefox 4?

I upgraded to the beta version of Firefox 4.0, and my browser language automatically changed from English to German. How do I switch it back?
It seems that the option to change the browser language under ''Options'' > ''Advanced'' > went away with Firefox 4.0.; at least I don't see it anymore.
Firefox allows you to select your prefered language to view a website under ''Options'' > ''Content'', but this has no effect on the browser language.
Please advise.

I had the same problem!
for me, the best solution is the following:
'''1) go to '''
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Language_packs
here you find an actual link to the''' language packs in any language''', for firefox 4.
They are in fact files called "xpi" (add-ons for firefox), to be found at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32/xpi/
(but this could change at a later point in time...).
'''2) click on the laguage pack you like''' (in the file list as above described), it will be installed immediately by firefox.
'''3) type about:config in your browser address bar''', and go to "'''general.useragent.locale'''" (you can type this in the "filter" bar that you see there).
Edit the value to the language shortcode you just downloaded, if this isn't done yet (eg: "en-GB" for british english, instead of "de-DE" for german!)
* Take care when editing the about:config file! This could damage your firefox installation.
* This solution takes just five minutes instead of 20-60 to download and reinstall Firefox in another language from scratch. Also, in case you have already other settings done, this could extend to several hours...

Combing Browser Language & App Prefered Language

Hello.
Thanks to the tips on this forum, I've been able to successfully set the language preference at the application site: (using HTMLDB_UTIL.SET_PREFERENCE ('FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE',:P100_LANG,:FLOW_USER);)
Now I would ideally like to do 2 items:
a) Display current language.
&FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE. just seems to display null
b) Set the default language to new users from their browser language. (Is there a variable to pull the browser language at startup?)
Thanks,
Erik

What doesn't work? The value of the preference is not set across distinct sessions?exactly
Is FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE an item in your application?no, I'm sorry for posting this question here, but this is the nearest I could find to documentation about 'per user' settings. My question isn't related to translation, just trying to store a page item value accross sessions.
Persistence of item values is maintained in the database and is associated with a user. Cookies are not used.That's what I thought... which worries me, because it seems to work in IE but not in Firefox. Anyone have that problem?

When i drag and drop an image on my site. it gives the following error. "Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follo"

I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks kumars ,
I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
"(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.

Default language settings in SAP Integration Kit?

Hi everybody,
I've the following problem:
If I create a report with the SAP Integration Kit (create new report from a query) I get a prompt where I can type in (System Number, User, Password and LANGUAGE). If I now choose as language u201CEnglishu201D and create a report, save it and open it in crystal again, everything is still fine. But if I go to refresh the report, I get a prompt where I can choose the SAP BW and type in the System Number, User and Password but not the LANGUAGE. After the refresh the names of the fields are still in English but the data is now in German (or just the technical names, depends on the language settings in the query).
For me it looks like that the language settings of the refresh are by default in crystal is set to German, but the software is English. I didnu2019t find any way to change the default language to English or save it in the report.
I already tried to change the language/regional/keyboard settings of my machine and also tried to change the language in the crystal formula field u201Clanguagecode%u201D.
But even if I could have a unique change in some system settings, it really will not help me, because I have some queries in German and some in English, depending on the actual BW system.
If the SAP Integration Kit gives me the possibility to choose the language during the creation of the report it should then remember the choice!?
Thank you for your help

Issue with language settings and units

Hello All,
We are facing the issue where since yetsreday days our language sttings are not working anymore.
The characteristics which were loading fine before suddenly started giving error and now there are lot of issue with the special characters.
Since we have data in almost all the european languages and with the entries from there language specific keyboard therefore list of chars now cannot be maintained in the RSKC.
We did a lot of verification and there was no changes done and no transport related to language settings was done.
The settings maintained before was ALL_CAPITAL and it was working fine till yesterday.
We have raised an OSS message with SAP but still wanted to know if anyone is aware of the reason.
Thanks

Language Settings

I’m wondering how I can change the default language settings on my Macbook (10.4.7), to Canadian English; it’s spelt “colour,” “Jail,” “Centre” and “Center” (no typo).
I need this done, because my essays have to be in Canadian English. So far the best I can do is British English. I have it semi adjusted in iWork, but not in my system preferences.

Nobody
there were able to show me how to set the input
language to Portuguese to get the characters: á ó í ã
ã ç
That doesn't say anything good about their expertise.
To select any input language on a Mac you go to System Preferences/International/Input Menu, check the box for the keyboard you want, plus the box for "show input menu in Finder," and then go to the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder and select the language you want, and then type. To see which key does what, you activate Keyboard Viewer just like you activate a keyboard.
You can also type the characters you need directly from the US layout. Here is a chart of the key combos:

Change country or language settings - iTunes match

I've subscribed for iTunes match and now I'd like to change my country or language settings from Germany to Holland. If I need to unsubscribe iTunes match then how do I do it. I could not find any option to unsubscribe iTunes match in Itunes.

Your best route is to call Apple direct, explain what you are trying to do and work with the pointers they provide.
To unsubscribe, you would need to go into your current account, de-select options for automatic renewal. De-authorise your computers and sign out of iTunes - but it is worth assessing with Apple whether this will achieve what you need.
The rule to watch is the one that requires 90 days to elapse before you can use your computer with another Apple Id - it may be that there is no neat route around this deliberate service restriction that Apple have designed in - other than the obvious, to use a second computer (or an emulator on your current computer).
