Default English Language

So possibly a very simple question, but it's something I've been unable to get my head around.
I'm from the UK, and have managed to set the preferred langauge to 'British English' under system preferences. There I also noticed US English, Canadian, Australian and so on, but also a form of English described only as 'English'.
My question is, what kind of English is this? All the other English forms have some description (British, US, etc) and seem to cover all the main forms, so what's this one?

These specific language options are not one I see on my mac (purchased in the USA) although I do remember a prompt asking me if I wanted to delete some languages (which I did) so it is possible they were there at one point. Or, perhaps this is something separate for macs purchased outside the US. When a mac is purchased in the US, the default preferred language is "English" (not US English) as stated in this apple article, under Learn how to>Change your OS X language.

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.

How to submit request with default language as 'American English' in other non-english language sessions.

Dear All,
Kindly suggest how to submit request with default language as 'American English' in other language sessions (Ex: Arabic).
R12: 12.1.3
The issue is we created function using 'arabic' text in it, which runs perfect in the english session, but doesnt gets value in the arabic session.
So we decided to make the submit request with default language as 'American English'.
Below is the function. Kindly note that SEGMENT1 is not linked to any valueset.

Dear All,
I found the solution for the above function.
In the same function I removed the static arabic values replacing with code values from the value set.
In my scenario there is a value set where some of these values exists, and other we can add there.
Kindly let me know if someone was successful by using the arabic text in the coding and defaulting the language in conc prog as English.
Thanks a lot.

[Solve]Set ibus as default IM when use other english language in gnome

Hello everybody,
I am satisfied with Arch + Gnome3 + Ibus in English language. With English language, Ibus is already set to default system-input-methods as well as I expected.
However, today I change language from english to vietnamese, System-input-methods change to other method, not Ibus.
I looked for programs to change input method such as im-settings, im-chooser and im-switch, but it's not exist in arch package or aur.
I add "export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"" to file ~/.bashrc , I can use Ibus only in firefox, libreoffice. To use Ibus with other programs as gedit, gnome-terminal, I must manual change input method by right click and choose Ibus.
So, How can I set Ibus as default system IM?
By the way, I can use Ibus in all Qt applications without trouble after set in qtconfig.
Thanks for reading.

Well, I set: LOCALE="vi_VN.UTF-8" instead of LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8" by default in file "/etc/rc.conf" and it's solved.

Default Software Language is German - Should be in English !!!

I have recently purchased a writers software which is advertised in the Apple iMac App Store
in English and is supposed to be in English, however the default language is German.
It is Nisus Writer Pro. The entire software has been translated into German. All commands
and so on are in the German language. One can type documents in English, however I want to have the
English edition as advertised.
If an apple customer goes into the App Store and reads the information about Nisus Writer Pro
it is all in English. The customer is not warned that it has been translated into German and a German version
will be downloaded. Normally one should be able to purchase an English language software product as advertised in the Apple
App Store or have a choice with regard to the default language. I am writing my documents in English and
wish to have the software in English as is advertised.
The software costs aroung 70 Euro.
What now?

PS To run an app in English while your OS is running in German, you can use

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).

Is there a way to make default keyboard languages for specific contacts... Like for my mum in Spanish and for my buddies in English?

Is there a way to make default keyboard languages for specific contacts... Like for my mum whom I send messages in Spanish to and for my buddies who speak English.

I think you cannot set default value with something that is not on the list.
try to do it differently, leave the 3 option and set the default value to New.
then, edit the "newform.aspx" and hide the field, with jQuery
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("select[title='fieldName']").closest("tr").hide();
then, edit the "editform.aspx" and remove the "New" option from the drop down with javascript
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("select[title='fieldName'] option[value='New']").remove();
hmmm welcome to SharePoint :)

How to change System Key Board Default input language(registry entry) using c# code

Please help me to write a small console application which helps to change keyBoard default input language in registry using c# code (Manually we can change as follows: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Region and Language\ KeyBoards and languages\Change
KeyBoards\Default Input Language)
Note: once system rebooted, English language should not be selected by default. Previously selected language has to be retained after system rebooting

Set English language in other regions

When I first installed Snow Leopard, I selected Italy as region but with english language.
As a result, under Language & Text in System Preferences, my region in the Formats was set to "Italy (English)", that is the italian format but with months and days names in english.
I accidentally changed that setting and selected "Italy (Italian)" and now I see months and days names in italian but with system language set to english.
I tried to restore the original setting, but there is no "Italy (English)" option under regions.
I also tried to change in italian the system language and then change it back to english, but the days names are still in italian.
Aside from defining a Custom format, is there a way to restore the "Italy (English)" original setting?
Thank you

Hi again Sgab,
I did try setting it to en_IT here and it's worked as expected. Perhaps it's because we are using different versions of OS X (mine is 10.7.4).
As a last resort, you might want to try setting the system-wide preferences like that (instead of only for your user which the previous command did):
defaults write -g AppleLocale en_IT
Now "defaults read -g AppleLocale" should return en_IT.
Even if that doesn't work, I noticed that it's possible (and possibly it's the only recommended way of doing that) to set an equivalent configuration like that:
In System Preferences -> Language & Text -> Formats:
- In the Regions menu select an English speaking country that has a date/time format you like
- In Currency menu select your currency format
- Also make sure the Measurement units menu is correct

VIBE X2-CU Lenovo services only in Chinese without English language option

Happy New Year to All
My Christmas gift was a Vibe X2. Now I'm one of a few German ladys who own a Vibe X2 in Germany I learned that I use a Chinese version of the phone instead of a European version.
However, a lot of features work very well e.g. phone calls, messaging, email/ exchange, google play store, notification center, security, camera, wifi and so on.
But, there are some features which I can't use because they are completely in Chinese and I definitely can't read Chinese
These are:
• Lenovo Smart Assistant, Mobile Assistant
When I install the Lenovo Smart Assistant from the European Lenovo Site then the Lenovo_Suite.exe starts automatically. And it is in Chinese designed from LENOVO Beijing limited and related to http://sj.lenovo.com/ I really would like to use this pc assistent instead of other available mobile assistant versions for android phones but I can't use it in Chinese language.
• Lenovo THEMECENTER
There are few parts which are in English, but the most parts are in Chinese.
I also have some problems with the Lock Screen. It doesn't matter which Lock Screen I use it disappears immediately after entering the pin for the sim card. And especially the bubbles ui lock screen doesn't work. When I use the list button on the left corner of the phone => theme => lock screen => bubbles ui/ 泡泡 only the little girl appears but no bubbles.
And the last problem is LTE 4G doesn't work. As I seeked out the phone uses TD-LTE:B38, 39, 40, 41MHz, FDD-LTE:B3, B7 MHZ and I learned that all TD-LTE bands only work in Chinese mainland. However, the FDD-LTE bands should work in Europe and so I started looking for a signal and running arround outside. I burned a lot of calories and got a lot of fresh air, but i did not found a signal. Does a FDD-LTE band which is integrated in a Chinese phone work in Europe?
It would be really nice if there is somewhere outside who could help me with these issues, please!!! I'm not a computer genius so I probably can't install a new EU-ROW version. It would be great if there would be other (software) solutions.
Best,
jasem

Hi,
I just want to share my experiences with the above posted problems and possible solutions. Do not hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong!!! And sorry for the mixture of problems and the long post
Lock Screen I was able to reactivate the Bubbles UI Lock Screen by changing the default language from German to English US. I really don't know why this works, but it works. Now I can see the Bubbles UI on the Lock Screen. That's a nice feature, but I'm not sure if they are able to learn. The displayed applications are not the one I use really often. We will see....
FDD-LTE:B3, B7 MHZ which are integrated in a Vibe X2 CU version should work in Europe or in Germany, respectively. So if the phone provider supports FDD-LTE:B3, B7 there should be a 4G signal even in a Vibe X2 with a CU rom version. I haven't found a signal yet. But I keep trying. And I will improve my physical fitness by running around and looking for a 4G signal
Theme center and Mobile assistant To my knowledge there is no simple or easy way to change the Chinese language into English language or to connect the applications to other Lenovo servers which provide the English language. At the moment possible ways to deal with the problem are:
Wait and look for a EU rom version for X2-CU model which also supports dual-sim.
Learn either Chinese or prepare yourself to root your phone with a new EU version (if available). But be careful you will lost your warranty if you do so and probably brick your phone if your are not competent enough to root a mobile phone
Don't buy a Vibe X2-TO or X2-CU if your are not able to read and understand Chinese and if you would like to enjoy the full functionality of a Vibe X2
If you know better solutions, information's or ideas please do not hesitate to share!!! There will be many users and Lenovo friends from different markets who will be very happy!!!

Default proofing language has no effect.

Hi.
I'm using Word 2010, and when I click the Spelling & Grammar button, it says the dictionary language is set to French (Canada), even though I've set the proofing language as English (Canada) on default. What can I do to make it proof my documents
in Canadian English?
I live in London, Ontario, so I know it can't be my location that keeps changing it.
Any help would appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
You should clear the "Detect language automatically" option, in the Language dialog box (Review tab>Language>Set Proofing Language). This will help to prevent Word from changing the language.
Also, when you set the proofing language, do you see the language is preceded by the
Spelling & Grammar icon? If no, it means the dictionary for that language is not available and you cannot check the spelling and grammar for that language (the default proofing language that you set will not be reflected there in this case):

Can I create a calendar in French rather than in my default English?

I want to create a 2009 calendar to send to a French-speaking friend. It would be nice if I could produce one that displays the names of the months etc in her own language. Is there a straight-forward way to create an iPhoto calendar in French instead of my default English?

I believe you can go to the System/International preference pane and set the computer's language to French. That should let you create your calendar in French and order it. Then reset the default language back to English.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Changing the default keyboard language for all users via command line

I have about 250 computers, that I set the wrong default language on.
I am hoping someone here can help me. I have 3 keyboard languages installed in my labs,
En-English (United States)
Fr-French (Canada)
En-English (Canada)
I'd like to make the Fr-French (Canada) the default keyboard language for all users that login I have tried the following xml but it's not working. I do not see the problem any help would be appreciated.
I tried to run it by doing this
control intl.cpl,, /f:"FR-DefaultKeyboard.xml"
The following code below is called FR-DefaultKeyboard.xml file.
<gs:GlobalizationServices xmlns:gs="urn:longhornGlobalizationUnattend">

<gs:UserList>
<gs:User UserID="Current"/>
</gs:UserList>

<gs:UserLocale>
<gs:Locale Name="FR-CA" SetAsCurrent="true"/>
</gs:UserLocale>
</gs:GlobalizationServices>

<gs:GlobalizationServices xmlns:gs="urn:longhornGlobalizationUnattend">
<gs:UserList>
<gs:User UserID="Current" CopySettingsToDefaultUserAcct="true" CopySettingsToSystemAcct="true"/>
</gs:UserList>
<gs:InputPreferences>

<gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0409:00000409" Default="false"/>

<gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="0c0c:00000c0c" Default="true"/>

<gs:InputLanguageID Action="add" ID="1009:00001009" Default="false"/>
