Change default English Locale

Hi,
I know that the Locale of a portal user is set by their language. My problem is that the default 'English' language corresponds to the US locale. Anyone know where to set the default english locale? Detlev?
I want 'English' and 'English (United Kingdom)' to denote the same uk Locale for convenience.
Thanks
Stuart

I think the RTFM is a acronym for "Read the f*cking manual"

How to change default english Language to Chinese in DSEE 6.0

Hi,
Anybody knows how to change language for DSEE 6.0. I want to change default language to Chinese.

What is DSEE 6.0.?

Feature Request: Changing the CS6 language to default English if owning a localized version.

So I own a de_DE localized version of CS6 Master, but I'd love to use it in English. I understand, that being able to change languages is a licensing concern and that it would be a little more complex to implent a "Change language" function to CS6.
But what I though about is: every application within the creative suite is based on an English version, just translated to another localization.
So why not being able to switch between localized language and default English? No matter which language I bought...
So you wouldn't have to implenent an in example "German to French" licensing/translation function, but only being able to disable the localizations through the whole suite. How about that?
Thanks and Cheers!

Hello tst,
I
am not using a Hebrew OS, but I am using an OS that has French
support. I actually tried this test on 8.6 and 8.5.1 and I was not
able to reproduce this issue.
To describe what I am doing in further detail:
When
you are in "French mode" indicated by an "FR in the Windows XP toolbar
below, you can predict what characters will appear when you press on
different keys. In other words, when I have FR on my toolbar and press
"w" on my French keyboard I get a "Char" value ASCII 119.
I
then press Alt+Shift to switch the keyboard to english which is then
"confirmed" by an EN in the Windows XP toolbar.
Pressing
the same W key of my French Keyboard will then give me a "Char" value
ASCII 122. Therefore I am not seeing this behavior because I am getting
the expected value from that key based on the OS' language setting.
What you are describing seems to be
more of Windows issue rather than a LabVIEW related issue, and I
highly doubt that it should only occur with Hebrew and not with other
languages. One
thing to note is that if you switch between different applications on a
Windows XP PC with many regional settings configured, the keyboard
setting seems to follow the application for the most part. Perhaps a
specific version of a Windows update has fixed a behavior where the
keyboard gets switched at some point within the same application (in
this case different LabVIEW windows).

If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

DateFormatContext - how to change default locale and date formatting?

Hi,
I need change default DateFormat e.g. from SHORT to MEDIUM, but I want to change default format for all pages, because I use for all bc4j:table automatic generation oc columns. Does anybody how to do it?
I tried this:
public void requestStarted(BajaContext context)
Locale locale = new Locale("cs", "", "");
MutableLocaleContext mContext = new MutableLocaleContext(locale);
MutableDateFormatContext dfc = new MutableDateFormatContext(mContext.getDateFormatContext());
But "dfc" doesn't have any set methods, where I could assign my formatter to the context:
SimpleDateFormat DtFrmt = new SimpleDateFormat();
// this I want to get to dfc
dfc <== DtFrmt.getDateInstance(DtFrmt.MEDIUM, locale);
Vl.

I don't think this is possible. The dateField has a default validator on it which determines the date format, changing the dateFormatContext won't change the validator.

How to change default Ovi Player store ...

Hi,
I need help from you people.
I had installed Ovi Player. Whenever I try to open Ovi Player, the default store gets’ open is "India". I change the store location to "Germany". When I do the search for particular music, it will again take me to "India" store instead of "Germany" store. In addition, most annoying is that I have to re-login but my user id and password will not work as its different store. Also when I go via music.nokia.de and try to login, it open Ovi player and since default location is "India", it takes me to India store and my login credentials do not work.
I ask Nokia care on how to change default Ovi Player Store location but they are unable to provide any good answer.
I already un-install / re-installed but won't work. Do any of you have answer to my problem? I want my default Ovi Player location to be "Germany" instead of "India".
More information, my regional settings have location as “Germany” and language as “English”.
Please help.
Thanks for your response.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had got message from Nokia on how to correct this issue. This had solved the problem. Below is the mail from them ...
Dear Chakraborty,
Thank you for your response.
This error is sometimes caused by a corrupted MDataStore.db3 file used by the Ovi Player. This file will need to be deleted with the Ovi Player closed. Then open the player and the datastore file will be rewritten by the application:
Close Ovi Music Player and delete the MDataStore.db3 file:
Vista C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
XP C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Data Store\DataBase\MDataStore.db3
Both of these locations are in hidden folders. So, to view them users will need to:
Open Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > Show Hidden Files and Folders
Once Ovi Music is opened again the MDataStore.db3 file will be rewritten to this folder.
  After that manipulation try to install the Ovi Player once again:

Change InfoView language (local) from URL

Hi Everyone,
We have a portal and in the portal we can click on a url to access InfoView. But in case the user change the local on the portal to view in another language like Chinese and when he/she clicks on the url to access InfoView. InfoView will display in English for Ex.
Do we have any way to put the local to the url of InfoView to change the local of InfoView. I know we can do it in the Preference but now my manager want to change it via a URL.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi VS,
thanks a lot for helping me here and sorry for delay in responding. I tried the solution provided by you. I developed one one view with a combo box & a button. And another view with just a sample text view. In the next view I duplicated the view.xlf file and pasted with _de.xlf extension for german. I copied your code snippets into wdDoModifyView and in the onActionGo methods. But after that when I select Deutsheland from the list box and press Go - nothing happens. The plug is also not firing. Most probably due to the forced log off. I also tried having some text in the first view itself and creatring _de.xlf file for the same. But didnt work. Its still picking the default english language text only. Can you please guide where I am doing wrong here?
Also - is it possible to have the same functionality without the combo box but from a URL parameter? My current application is integrated in portal. So I type in mycompany.com as the url. Now if I type in mycompany.com?locale=DE will I be able to get the value and process it as you mentioned from the combo box value? Please guide.
Regards,
Shubho

How to change default decimal separator

Hi,
what is the problem with the code below ? The output is 1234.5 however, I need it to be 1234,5
          String itemFormat="%4.1f";
          Double x = 1234.5;
          Locale dl = Locale.getDefault();
          DecimalFormatSymbols dfs = new DecimalFormatSymbols(dl);
          dfs.setDecimalSeparator(',');
          System.out.println(String.format(dl, itemFormat, x));It is testing code, however I need to use % formating, and I need to use String.format function.
So, my question is - how to change the locale for String.format function ?

but I think, this is not very smooth solution... I am not what about the diffrences between the current user locale and the French locale. It would be best to change actual user locale... but I wonder if this is possible...I think the java runtime determines the locale it is in by querying the operating system. This becomes the "default" locale. So if the machine knows where it is, so will the java runtime, and doing getDefaultLocale() should work seamlessly.

ITunes won't open. It says language needs to be changed to English???

iTunes won't open on my computer. It says "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version." I don't know how the language could have ever gotten changed from English to begin with. iTunes won't even let me in to change any of the settings. I can't get past the error message.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Change default Windows background during deployment

I have a Windows deployment server up and running and deploying custom Windows 7&8 images which all work fine. I want to be able to change the default Windows background to a custom image during deployment so when a new user is created and logs in locally,
my image is displayed rather than the default one. I know this can be done by changing an entry in the registry, but I would like some help in creating a script to do this during deployment and also where this script would have to be placed and how to run
this. I am a noob at scripting and any help would be appreciated! ;)
Thanks in advance

I am using the process documented at the link below in my builds today with a lot of success. In addition to setting the background for every user, it will also allow for setting the colors and accents. Pretty good stuff from the guys at CoreTech.

Change default pabURI attribute

Hi every one,
I did a dedicated instance of Directory Server for Address Book listening on the same ip address but 1389 port.
When i create a new mail user from Delegated Administrator, it assign to the user a pabURI attribute like this:
pabURI: ldap://mailbe1-ds:389/ou=user,ou=People,o=mailservice
I need to change default pabURI on DA from the one listed above to the following:
pabURI: ldap://mailbe1-ds:1389/ou=user,ou=People,o=mailservice
which file i need to modify ???
Regards
Caius

Solved, changing messagging parameter "local.service.pab.ldapport" with configutil.
It's not the DA to set pabURI attribute in user profile.

Right. I have diagnosed the issue. It is caused by the removal of the "CIS"
territory from Oracle Database XE. I have logged bug #5114250.
If you have access to the applicaction source code, try the following workaround:
boolean workaround = false;
Locale origLocale = Locale.getDefault();
if ( origLocale.toString().equals( "ru_RU" ) ) {
Locale.setDefault( new Locale( "en", "US" ) );
workaround = true;
DriverManager.registerDriver( new OracleDriver() );
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:system/manager@//localhost:1522/ORA92.PL.ORACLE.COM"
System.out.println( "Connected." );
if ( workaround ) {
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
String territory = "CIS";
if ( conn.getMetaData().getDatabaseMajorVersion() >= 10 )
territory = "RUSSIA";
stmt.execute(
"ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE='RUSSIAN' NLS_TERRITORY='"
+ territory +"'" );
stmt.close();
System.out.println( "NLS_TERRITORY changed to " + territory );
Locale.setDefault( origLocale );

How can I change default text in the invitation e-mail?

Hi
Is there anyone that knows how to change the default text in
the e-mail invitations? I want to change the english text to
somthing in my language.

I have wondered that myself... I have even asked... everyone
says it's not an option. I could be wrong... I would have to defer
to the Adobe guys. I am on Connect everyday doing something with
curriculum. I have found several issues that I wish Adobe would
correct or add. I see that the new service pack has addresses one
of them (custom reports) although, I still see bugs.
I would love to be part of the their team that works toward
making it better.
Changing notifications is one thing. As far as language, that
is a different issue.

My brother downloaded "Big Bang Theory", in french, without me knowing. Is there anyway to change to english version?

Okay, I found the answer myself. Going to about:config and setting browser.showQuitWarning to true, restored that option and brought it back. Thanks to anyone who is about to post. If this is false by default, it has got to change.

How can I change an english/american keyboard to a danish one?

How can I change an english/american keyboard to a danish one on a Macbook Air?

Apple menu / System Preferences / Keyboard / Input sources.
Click + (bottom left) and in the pane that comes up, select Danish on the left, and click Add.
Of course that can only change what the keys actually input, not what is written on the keys. If you wish to change the physical look of the keys as well, get in touch with Apple and ask if they can replace the keyboard.
