Browser language

I bought my iPad in Russia. But whenever I open the browser it's all in Russian. How to change the language to English in safari? p.s. i changed the language in the settings to English but it still doesn't work.

BROWSER_LANGUAGE is set using owa_util.get_cgi_env ('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'), parsing out the first value before any comma, e.g., en-us.

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;

Browser Language Setting not effective in Application Module

I am using "LANGUAGE = SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','LANG')" in WHERE clause to fetch List data based on User's Language. I saw this in JDev 11g's Fusion Order Demo sample.
It seems that i always get data where LANGUAGE='US', as my AM's locale is always set to en_US. If i set my browser to have "fr" (French) Language, i see that UI Hints for Entity based view objects are displayed in French , but the List data keeps coming back in English.
I also kept some debug statements in prepareSession of AM and i see that "ADFContext.getCurrent().getEnvironment().getRequestLocale()" changes as per Browser Language , but "session.getLocale()" is always set to en_US. If I change AM configuration for jbo.default.language and jbo.default.country , then "session.getLocale()" is changed accordingly. Shouldn't this Locale change based on what user's browser is configured.?

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:

Translation problem - using browser language

Hi,
I have an application with french as the primary language and english as the secondary. To switch between both, i'm using an application item.
When i'm on the application in french (application item set to french) the login page shows correctly using the app item value. But when i'm trying to branch to a secured page, if i'm not connected, i'm redirected to the login page.
This is ok, but the page is displayed in french AND in english at the same time. Dynamic content is displayed using the app item which is ok, but not the page items and buttons. They are displayed using my browser language instead of the app item.
The problem seems to come from the "Session not valid page" field in the "Authentication Scheme" which I set to the login page.
Thank you
Patrick

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

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...

Browser language - redirection

I am changing the language of the user after logon in the masthead
using - IUserMaint
using code:
user.setlocale("EN");
user.save();
user.commit();
but if I use onlly save and commit it is reflecting
I do not want to save the locale in the user profile , but locale of the user session should reflect with new language
any ideas?

Hi Vinod
getDisplayLanguage() return you a language of the Locale, not always is the browser language, if the browser locale is default, it return the browser language. But locale could be configured in your application.
There is a request Header in Http Header of your page called Accept-Language. You can get all the accepted languages congured in your browser.
I don't know how can you get this in web dynpro. In a servlet you'd do in this way request.getHeader("Accept-Language");

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?

Browser Language Not Recoginzed in a new window

All, I searched the forum and couldn't locate anything related to my issue.
I have a an app which is translated to spanish (primoary lang english) and is based on the browser language.
I send my users a URL link via email. When they click on the link, it opens up a new IE window but is based on the primoary lang not the browser lang. If they refresh the screen, it displays based on the browser lang. OR if they click on the link and already have IE open, it displays correctly based on the browser lang.
Why is the browser lang not being recognized when a new window opens? Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks, Melissa

Can you try in safe mode please?

How to get browser language

Depending on the language of the browser, (firefox/ie) I want
to localize the flex app. How can I look up the locale setting of
the browser? thanks

Yes it can be used but it will give locale, in case I change the browser lang I am not sure if the locale also gets changed. If not then I guess we can not use this method.

Hello!
I'm using IConnection to connect to SAP-system(which I declare in System Administration) and to execute BAPI.
And it's working fine. But working fine only when content language in browser set to "en" or "en-us". If on first place stand another lang("ru" for example), connection to system raise
com.sapportals.connector.connection.ConnectionFailedException: Connection Failed: Nested Exception. Failed to get connection. Please contact your admin.
Why this happened? Is there some solution in this case?

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.
Regards,
Rajesh
