Hi Grant,
first very thanks for the kind reply and here my problem goes on :
I only see the problem with Turkish regional setting.I tried german,french ... and at first install of the jinitiator it always asked for me to GRANT ALWAYS to the Certificate.But when i use turkish it never asks and so the certificate does not being signed also my application does not run which uses corresponding jar files which are not signed.However,as i defined in my previous mail if at first the client has English,German or French regional setting the IE browser asks for the "Grant Always" certificate and then if the client changes her regional setting to Turkish it does not matter that my application runs.Because the IE browser already signed the corresponding jars while my client's regional setting was english at first install.
Why oracle does not support turkish based regional setting installation of the Jinitiator1.3.1.9
Is there any way to do it with oracle.Or I have to write a program which will make the regional settings english at the first installation of the jinitiator1.3.1.9
If you need further explanation do not hesitate to write me.Thanks :)
Best Regards,
Mustafa

Hi,
If you are running a Cloud Deployment in which you deployed own image you could obviously, prior to uploading the image to Azure, make the necessary changes within the image to allow those to reflect to new users as part of the default profile. If you want
to allow users to specify their own regional settings you could publish the Control Panel for them as follows
For example here the Control Panel Regional Settings applet running as a Azure RemoteApp.

Currency format and Regional Settings

Is it possible for WebI reports to honor Regional Settings (client system or BO system or BO setup) and correctly handle the currency format without making any changes to the report?
Neeraj Bhatia

There might be a smarter way, but you could use alerters and the GetLocale() function.
Create a new variable called, Currency Type with the formula
=If GetLocale() InList("en_AU";"en_US") THEN "Dollar" ELSE "Euro"
Or whatever. Then use an alerter where the "Filtered object or cell" is the Currency Type variable, and the Operand is "Dollar" then click Format... then at the top click Default next to Number Format and set the appropriate currency format.
Add a sub-alerter to do the same for Euro, and whatever other currencies you must allow for.
Hope that helps.

Problem with Crystal Report XI and Regional Settings

Dear All,
I am working on Crystal Report XI under Chinese Windows 2000 Professional and Chinese Visual Foxpro 9.0.
I created a User defined Function Library under VFP9.0 as an ActiveX with a function that return a String. I could saw the function in CR XI and the function works fine when returning English. When the function returning a Chinese String, CR XI gives different result. The Chinese text returned from the function only works when my regional settings (control panel -> regional settings) is set to Chinese Taiwan otherwise it shows "??????".
It is queer, the text object always correct, shows Chinese text, no matter what regional settings is. I did try my best in VFP to convert the string to double byte, unicode, etc but it stilll doesn't work.
Could anyone help me please. Thank you.
Regards,
Antony

If you have the correct font, it will actually say "MS Arial Unicode" in any of the font drop downs - CR Designer, MS Word or any other software. So, you'll have to ensure that the font is installed.

VPN Client and DNS settings

Hello,
here are few posts (quite some time ago) telling the same trouble:
The VPN Client does *NOT* restore the original DNS settings.
Upon BM3.8.2 Massimo told, that this is a bug in that version of the VPN
client. I face this issue with 3.8.16 and nwclient 4.91.4 with or without
the three currently available hotfixes [1]
Anybody else facing this trouble with the current VPN client release?
May be an older one works better, any experiences?
This trouble is fact even after clean disconnects. But it happens only now and then,
I might need to try it 50 times to see it once.
a followup in CMD boxes with ipconfig /all does show, that the times
to restore the original DNS settings vary from 2 to 30 seconds. Mostly about 5 seconds.
Massimo also told, that a "VPN-down" due to a Win-Shutdown can cause this: So is
there a possibility to trigger a "clean-VPN down" in the Win-shutdown sequence?
As a workaround I packed this line into all users "run" key:
netsh int ip set dns name="LAN-Verbindung" source=dhcp
so at least after a reboot it's corrected.
Any suggestions appreciated,

Hello Craig,
thanks for your answer.
[VPN Client sometimes doesn't restore DNS settings after disconnecting]
e.g. TID 10096552 is telling such a trouble, that should be fixed with
BM VPN Client 3.8.10

Anybody else who knows about that tool?
After doing some "teachment" to these VPN users the incidents of this
trouble didn't show up as frequent as before. So I assume, that one
reason might be this:
Scenario
VPN connect
PCA connect to host in corporate LAN
PCA full screen *SHOULD* be activated (ALT+ENTER)
working, working, working
shutdown PC in corporate LAN
close VPN tunnel
shutdown local home office PC.
When it was missed to activate PCA fullscreen without noticing this,
then the "remote" start button is not visible.
So instead of shutting down the remote PC, the local PC is shut down.
By that, the local shutdown is killing (not cleanly disconnecting)
the VPN client. When this happened (and I 100% can reproduce this)
after the next boot of the home office PC the VPN connect will *ALWAYS*
fail. After another reboot the VPN connect will succeed again without
any problems.
Is this a known issue? (I cannot find that TID I found before telling
missbehaviour when VPN connects are not disconnected clean. IIRC this
was something fixed in a VPN client version /several/ subversions ago)
Home Office PC = XPSP2+Hotfixes, VPN Client BM 3.8.16, nici from that
one first, now taken from NWClient 4.91.4, no difference.

Microsoft Windows : Changing the region settings using browser.

Hi,
We have a jsp page which has a drop down list and a textbox. It has 3 languages namely, English, French, Spanish, Hindi and Tamil.
If a user select French, the region should automatically changed and if the user type some thing in the text box next to drop down, he should see the characters in French, same way for all the languages.
We are trying to achieve this on the client side. We are trying to implement this using JSP Page,
Is there any way to achieve this or Do we have to include any VB Script.
Please reply back if you have any suggestion.
Thanks,
Vijay.B

I had the same issue - all VIs in English, but DAQmx and its subVIs were in German.
I completely uninstalled/reinstalled LabVIEW and the issue persisted. I'm running LabVIEW 2014 (14.0, 32-bit) on Windows 8 64-bit, and I have another system running the LabVIEW 2014 on Windows 7 64-bit affected by the same issue. All possible language and region settings on both computers are English (United States).
I was able to fix the issue by downloading the newest standalone DAQmx software (14.5 at time of writing this)
http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-14.5/5212/en/
and just let it do a typical installation, over my current software, without uninstalling anything specific. Everything seems to be fixed now - hope this helps someone else.

TS1398 cannot connect to the store : a secure connection could not be established. Please check your date and time settings. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???

please help!!
thank you xxx

Your date, time and region settings have to be correct to connect to the iTunes store. This is from Apple:
From the home screen, tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
If the option exists, turn off Set Automatically.
Verify the time zone and time (in the status bar) are correct for where you are currently.
If not, adjust the incorrect setting accordingly.
If everything was correct and the option exists, turn on Set Automatically.
You must also be able to open a secure connection to access the iTunes store. Launc Safari on your phone and see if you can go to https://appleid.apple.com. If you can't then see the troubleshooting steps under "Blocked by software firewall: (Mac OS X/Windows)" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297.

Unable to find "Language and Region" link

Hi,
I am trying to customize language and region settings via my MySite using the below link. I spent an hour yesterday trying to find "Language and Region" link in the Edit Profile page, however, I could not. Is there a feature I need to activate
to see this link or enable something in Central Admin?
I only see Basic Information, Contact Information, Details, and Newsfeed Settings.
http://community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/sharepoint-2013/archive/2012/11/02/how-to-change-regional-settings-on-my-site-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
Any suggestions?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you can't see the "Language and Region" link in mysite Edit Profile Page.
I suggest you can check if you have checked "Show on the Edit Details Page" in the Central Administrator ->Manage Service Application->User Profile Service Application->Manage User Properties->Language and Regions->All
child properties under Language and Region.
Thanks

No data to refresh in BPC clients with Russian regional settings

Hello, colleagues
I hope to get some advices and information about saving data in BPC client computers with non-English regional settings (e.g., decimal point is set ","). Our BPC server has English regional settings.
BPC 7.0, SQL Server 2008. I created new Input Schedule by using standard EVDRE function. And data was not sent to SQL Server after clicking Send and Refresh, I got the message "No data to refresh". I examined hidden sheet EVDRE_DATACACHE and found cells in row A with cache data in XML format. After some experiments I found out that if all data values will be replaced with symbol "S" then all data in the sheet with EVDRE could be saved correctly. I don't know any other methods to make data with decimal point "," to be saved. Also I tried to change members of Measure (Periodic - YTD) but i got the same result.
Thanks for your help.

Actually you have the problem into server.
I think you have the regional settings wrong into server.
We have actually many customers using French, German, Dutch language having "," for decimal separator and it is working fine.
It is not working when actually the settings into the server are not English US.
Please check the follow keys from application server:
HKEY_USERS - .Default - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-18.. - Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-19 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-20 ..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21..- Control Panel - International
HKEY_USERS - S-1-21........ ..- Control Panel - International
These keys should be sett all for english US. If it is at least one not correct that can cause problems with sending data.

How to modify regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 working?

When I modify the regional settings on my W7 PC (i.e. switching the decimal symbol and digit grouping symbol from dot to comma and vice-versa), I cannot print to Adobe PDF Printer nor can I convert Office documents to PDF files anymore. It seem like the joboptions files were getting corrupted (I can see read errors).
Can anyone advise on how to modify the regional settings and keep Acrobat 9.4.1 Pro working properly? Do I have to adopt the joboptions files (and if yes, how?)?
Thank you for your advice!

The defaults for three are blank entries. That is there are no defaults, The only way to get those back to being blank would be to delete your preferences file ( Home->Library->Preferences->com.apple.Aperture,plist ) and possibly the files in *Home->Library->Program Support->Aperture* (but I don't think you would need to do these, not sure.)
However before you do this you should know there is no drawback to having these entries filled in. Aperture would only attempt to use them if you actually selected them while using Aperture. It won't be looking for them on startup. And if the programs pointed to by these entries no longer exist on your system Aperture won't even fill in the names in the menu items where these are pointed to ( *Photos->Edit with* for example)

Regional and Language Settings for Window and BEX Style

Hi All,
When I change the Regional and Language Settings for Windows, Standards and Formats value to English (USA) the standard Style for BEX is active. For instance, input-ready cell is bordered with blue. But when I switch to Turkish this style is not active.
Additionally, I have to change Style for each Workbook one by one. How can we adopt a style to every workbook.
Regards,

Lars,
This is a setting on the 'Defaults' tab in the User Profile. This can be set when a new user is set-up in SU01, or it can be changed by each user according to personal preference in SU3. I'm sure there is a system table where these settings are stored that could probably be edited for all users, if that is desired, but I don't know which table that would be off the top of my head.
Hope this helps...

Regional Settings differences between 2008 and 2012

Hi There,
Can anyone explain why some of the regional setting details have changed with Win 2012?
Example: Dutch (Belgium) - nl-BE
The 'Digital Grouping Symbol' has changed from a DOT to a WHITESPACE.
2008 - €1.000,00 whereas 2012 - €1 000,00
If the settings are changed on the servers will they persist after OS updates etc?
Rgds,
Frank

Hi Vivian,
I see no reference in the KB article to modifications for the CET timezone nor any reference to the resolution of culture format info discrepancies.
A further issue is that the active regional settings on our PRD servers will be set to United States and it would appear that any modification to the Belgium locales (i.e. nl-BE, fr-BE) are not persisted once you switch to United States as the
active setting.
The knock on effect of this is that for our PRD web-applications (which are active across many regions), we have to write code to override the OS information. .NET uses the OS info to populate its Culture information.
Could you confirm if the differences between 2008 and 2012 are the result of a bug or are the changes planned? Based on communication with some of our customers in Belgium, they are of the opinion that the 2008 (and Win 2003) settings are per their expectations.
I really do not what to have to handle these situations across our application landscape and am sure that other people with globalized applications will also hit problems.

Error in South Africa Regional Settings in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8

Please note that the format for numbers in South Africa regional settings is incorrect. I discovered this through on of our products that would not work on Server 2012, but works from XP to Windows 7.
Where the decimal was always a point it has now been changed to a comma, which is incorrect and most likely will cause a lot of issues for customers in south africa that use decimal data.
I can already see spatial data breaking where decimals are used and stored with points and not commas.
To reproduce this error set your regional settings to South Africa and execute the following code in C#
System.Convert.ToDouble("10.1234");
This will throw a FormatException. Change regional settings from a , to a . and there we go it works.

It seems that this is development related issue, please try to submit a new post in DEV forum. Thanks.
Thanks

Respectfully Mr. Xia, it looks like the OP is reporting a localization issue, not a development issue.
For the OP, there's a
well researched post by a South African developer describing that the decimal comma is the correct choice. The work cites University style guides, International conference agreements, and government legislation and regulation.
An excerpt from Mr. MacLean's post, quoting work from EEPublishers:
English-speaking countries (plus China, India and Japan) use the decimal point. There seems to be a general tendency to formally declare its use worldwide and the International Organisation for Standardization, ISO, also tends towards using the decimal point
over the decimal comma. In view
of the South African law, however, the comma shall still be employed in South Africa as “the only recognised decimal indicator for all numbers” [3].

Regional settings and currency

All the way from 10.0, to 10.2 (even 10.2.1 so far as I know), have shown the following text:
"The region settings are used to adapt date format, default currency and number format."
The only way I can explain this is the '$' key on your keyboard should adapt to whichever region you set it to (UK £, EU € and so on).
But this has never worked, it always stays as $. Is this an oversight?
BlackBerry 10 signed.

Yes, it is.
Are you wanting me make it easier to enter the UK pound "£" symbol or?

Problem with Batch Loader and FDM user regional settings

Hi
I am using FDM 11.1.2.1.
When I use the English regional settings for my FDM user account, I can do Export Excel from FDM, but Batch Loader doesn't work (Error : "one or more parallel processes failed to start).
When I use the French regional settings for my FDM user account, Export to Excel doesn't work anymore (Error: Conversion from string "12.0" to type 'Long' is not valid. Detail: InnerException1: Input string was not in a correct format.), but the Batch loader is ok.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Mittal,
By default, formats for date is determined by the report server language at run time. The report server language is the language of the operating system on which the report server is installed. So the formats for date is determined by the language of the
operating system on which the report server is installed.
When you deploy the report to SharePoint site that the regional setting is set to English (Australia), please also set the report language to ‘en-AU’. Then the date format can be also changes to English (Australia).
If the issue is still exited, could you please tell us the date format of date parameters and the field? If possible, please post the screenshot about this, then we can make further analysis.
