Detecting language headers in IE 5.0???

I am trying to detect the Accept-Language and for some reason it is failing under IE 5.0(x). Let me explain failing. I go to a page that is trying to access the Accept-Language, it gets a null. I then send the browser to a page with the following code, this returns null. It then press the back button and the previous page now sees the accept language correctly (no refresh, just hit back).
Here is my code:
<%
java.util.Enumeration headerNames = request.getHeaderNames();
String uLang = request.getHeader("Accept-Language");
out.println(uLang);
%>
Is there something I am doing wrong, any surefire way of getting this?
Thanks.

Yeah, you should use the Local. I forget the api, but I remember there being some sort of method in the newer servlet spec. (2.1 I think) that lets you get the user's local from the request. This will give you their language. Better than parsing it on your own.

  • Reg: Multi Language Headers in Reports

    Hi
    I have a requirement, the Headers will get stored in a table in 16 Languages.
    i.e
    Lang ID Header LanguageText
    1 RollNo (Rex nee) This equivalent to German
    2 RollNo (Reaercd) This is equivalent to Spanish.
    In report i want these headers to be displayed dynamically in Local Language of the user logging in but data for all users is English..
    Any pointers to acheive this?
    Thanks in Advance..

    Instead of your code, try using just this line in the AfterPForm Trigger:
    :p_LANGUAGE_CODE := decode(:l_sales_office, '31',:p_LANGUAGE_CODE, 'EN');

  • Flash Player does not install detected language

    Hi guys,
    when you'll fix that annoying issue? or is there something I'm missing?
    Wanted to update my FP and not for the first time, while updater is detecting the correct settings (in my case: Win7, English, 64-bit), it tries to install language version from the region i'm currently in (right now, in my case, its Dutch). Don't have to tell you how annoying is that! I mean, why detecting your settings, if anyway you'll make me install something completely different! So lets say next time I'm in China while new FP comes out, and then what?
    And the best part is, I'll have to go through multiple pages of, lets be honest, a totally bullcrap help, to finally find somewhere at the very bottom a link to "download the installer directly from the following sites". That link, surprise surprise, lets me download and install the FP... yes, you guess correctly, in english.
    Get your **** together, guys, it really is high time to do just that.

    I have the same exact problem. It seems after I downloaded Google Chrome and then unistalled it and reinstalled IE8, with any updates, that Flash will not work. I have been trying to get it to work for over a week! I turned off add-ons as a site suggested, but it still does not work. When I click download Flash, it states that it has installed successfully, but it is nowhere to be found on my computer. I searched for it using the Start Search, and it is not there. I really NEED Flash, please help! I am on Vista! HP Pavillion Notebook! Thanks!

    You can't do that in HTML. You need some server-side
    scripting to check
    and parse the HTTP Accept-Language header, which is sent by
    the browser.
    On an Apache server a feature called "content negotiation"
    might be
    another option to let the server decide automatically which
    language
    variant of a page to return.

  • Does Iphone auto detect language ?

    Hi guys !
    would like to know if in the iPhone keyboard settings we can setup a sort of " language auto-detect"
    if we sending a sms or email in English is fine for the checkspelling to suggest the righ spelling in English because my keyboard language is already in English but what if I start typing in French or Spanish  for sms or emails do I have to change the keyboard to that specific language in order to be able to use that language check spelling  ?
    Or is there a way for the iPhone to just auto-detect the language "Spanish, French..." and suggest the right spelling whithout having to go in the keyboard settings manually everytime ?
    Or do we have to use a third-party app from the appstore that would provide that option ?
    Thanks I am looking forward your answers guys  !!!!

    Yes.  You use the globe key to quickly switch keyboards.  Apps are not allowed to mess with such things.

  • Live id 'bubble' by language; msn/bing detects language settings

    Because I value my privacy and really detest being 'bubbled' [force-fed geo-specific content] I like to use an anonymiser, in this case Anonymox. Recently, trying to set up a new hotmail address using a US IP, no cookies on board [either ordinary of flash] and a clean cache, I had the unsettling experience of the live-id signup site forcing me to a UK hotmail suffix based on I knew not what skerrick of info I'd unwittingly left snoopable by them.
    Thanks to support @ a nonymox, it was discovered that the live-id sign on site was bubbling me according to my LANGUAGE SETTINGS! I basically prefer the UK version of the English language to the US version, and the site was trawling for this and using it to bubble me.
    So I'm not aware of any setting within FF, or extension I could obtain, which would protect me against this sort of incursion by a website. Does anyone know of a 'Don't tell sites I visit ANY frigging thing about my machine, applications or settings[unless I give special permission]' extension?
    OR
    Could developers at FF please build this protection in?
    Or is it just that I need to clue self in better re:strengthening privacy settings?
    grrrRRR

    the accept-language field is part of the basic http protocol & is sent in every http request header, see:
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields]
    [http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.4]
    if you're uncomfortable with that, you can delete all language preferences in firefox as Gingerbread_Man has described

  • JSTL FMT multiple content-language headers

    hello
    this is my second post about htis same problem. I am alot smarter now (which isn't saying much). But on ASF bugzilla they claim this is a OC4J issue. I can easily reproduce the problem.
    the link is
    http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28248
    A brief summary, each time i call fmt:formatNumber it ADDS a content-language header, eventually it overflows the browsers buffers or something similar and causes an error. Is there a work around for this problem?
    Please help
    thanks
    troy

    hi troy,
    i think, they'll dont fix it (it's too trivial), but i suggest a workaround. establish a simple filter (thanks servlet 2.3), that prevent subsequent setLocale calls to the response object.
    Here is my workaround.
    [web.xml]
    <filter>
    <filter-name>oc4jsetlocalefilter</filter-name>
    <display-name>SetLocaleFilter</display-name>
    <filter-class>workarounds.oc4j.setlocale.SetLocaleFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>oc4jsetlocalefilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    [SetLocaleFilter.java]
    package workarounds.oc4j.setlocale;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import javax.servlet.Filter;
    import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
    import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
    public class SetLocaleFilter
    implements Filter
    public SetLocaleFilter()
    public void init(FilterConfig p0) throws ServletException
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
    throws IOException, ServletException
    if (response instanceof HttpServletResponse)
    SetLocaleResponseWrapper respWrapper =
    new SetLocaleResponseWrapper((HttpServletResponse)response);
    chain.doFilter(request,respWrapper);
    else {
    chain.doFilter(request,response);
    public void destroy()
    [SetLocaleResponseWrapper.java]
    package workarounds.oc4j.setlocale;
    import java.util.Locale;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponseWrapper;
    public class SetLocaleResponseWrapper extends HttpServletResponseWrapper
    public SetLocaleResponseWrapper(HttpServletResponse response)
    super(response);
    public void setLocale(Locale locale)
    if (containsHeader("Content-Language"))
    System.out.println("setLocale skipped by filter. Content-Language already set.");
    return;
    System.out.println("setLocale called.");
    super.setLocale(locale);

  • Custom SharePoint Connector with FAST: Language Detection

    Hello. I've got a custom SharePoint 2010 Connector working with FAST.
    Almost works fine, but there is a little problem: FAST doesn't want to detect language.
    And when I set any language in Advanced Search I've got empty results, because property DetectedLanguage is empty.
    So, I've tried to set default fallback language (as it shows in
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2711004)
    But it doesn't help.
    p.s. In SharePoint 2013 it works.

    Hi Mikhail,
    According to your description, my understanding is that set default fallback language does not work in your SharePoint 2010.
    For your issue, you need to install the April 2012 Cumulative Update for FAST Search for SharePoint 2010 which allows you to define a fallback language and character set when automatic detection of the language and encoding fails.
    URL for April CU 2012 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2598329
    For more information, you can refer to the blog:

  • Why does Office language follow the Keyboard and can it be stopped

    Hi
    To clarify here I work for a multi-language company Office is installed in US English language packs are loaded for French, German, Czech and Japanese.
    For my case I have a French Laptop but most of my communication is in English. In the office language settings everything is set to English. But the keyboard remains set in French.
    Image not included because I'm not trusted yet.
    When I open any Office document the proofing language will be French. In Word for instance at the bottom of the screen every new document opens with France (French).
    I have tried changing this via the language preferences, by GPO and by Registry hack and nothing works. The proofing tool always defaults to the user input language defined on the OS. You can change it document by document of for PowerPoint slide by slide.
    But that's not what I want. I want the spell check and grammar to check for the language I define as default.
    Has anyone got any ideas.
    Thanks

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for your question.
    As per your description, it seems you have the Detect language automatically
    option turned on. This feature detects the language that you are typing in and enables the proofing tools for that language.
    Please try to turn off this option and then verify result:
    Open a new Word document or an email message from the Outlook client.
    On the Review tab, in the Language group, click
    Language.
    Click Set Proofing Language.
    In the Language dialog box, deselect the Detect
    language automatically check box.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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):

  • Automatic language switch [Angry poster]

    I've just finished my Spanish homework in my 2013 Microsoft Word, and it wasn't pleasant. I study Biochemistry along with English, Spanish, German and my native language. What gets me worked up and really has me table-flipping angry, is that every time I
    hit 'enter', the language flips over to Danish.
    This means I have to stare at daunting red lines in every sentence, SELECT
    it when I'm done, and flip it over to Spanish again, writing in Spanish is worst, because of the way sentences using question/exclamation marks are written, it can't function without the Word dictionary co-operating. Word nowadays has no limits to
    how helpful it thinks it is, so of course it'll do these small changes here and there. 
    Now of course I've read up on it, and reached some kind of solution, which is changing my keyboard to whichever language I'm using. You might argue that this is the way things are most convenient for others, but I'm not asking for much here. I'm asking for
    Word to NOT change the language every time I hit enter, and that shouldn't mean having to learn where all the necessary symbols are,
    for every language I speak. I have no idea who came up with this idea or concept, but it's the stupidest and most crippling mistake in any software I've ever purchased. I have no idea how it's supposed to work for international students such
    as myself. 
    So what I'm looking for is a way to select the language in a Word document, and have it stay that way, until I change it. I'd love it if Word could figure out that I'm trying to switch languages after 3 or 4 words, and back again if I was citing, but I know
    what to expect. I'm already pissed as it is with these blue lines telling me that English can only be written one way. Let's see how big an explosion comes from the red lines turning on me as well.

    I'm not quite sure if I have understood you correctly. What do you mean by "select the language in word", do you mean the proofing language?
    If yes, I would suggest you 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.
    Hope this is what you want.

  • Searches showing up in foreign language

    Usually it's Japanese, sometimes it's Greek.
    Mostly it's Google searches, but it occurs at the mozella.com website as well; the ff 3.6.15 download I received, in order to revert to ff 3.6 from ff 4 because of incompatible plugins that were important, were marked "mozella.ja"
    Even in the safe mode right now, everything's still largely in Japanese.
    Some of the affected activities and websites: most, but not all, google searches, but not with ask.com
    microsoft.com comes up in Japanese, but eBay.com does not.

    The resolution has been provided by support volunteer zzxc who suggested checking the accept-language headers. Go to firefox->options->content>choose your preferred language. Then make sure en-US is on top. If there are others listed, delete all of them except en-US and en.

    Hi Tom,
       thank you for your prompt response. Actually  I never removed Pages 4... it's in use 95% of the time. I wanted to know if Apple had done something about that laguange-spelling issue.

  • Language Encoding

    Hi all,
    I have a question about detecting language encoding in a file. The w3c xml spec talks about identify the encoding and byte ordering via some lead bytes. Is there a java way to do this auto detection?

    Sure, just open a FileInputStream on the file, read the first two bytes, and apply the W3C rules. This will probably involve closing that FileInputStream and opening a new FileReader.
