Getting the OS Language

Hi,
Using the Java coding how can i get the OS language?
Please help me
Thanks
Suresh

There are values like os.name and os.version available in the system properties.
See java.lang.System.getProperties
But I don't know what you mean by language.

Hmm. On my laptop the first bit gets me the list of languages as they appear in the listing in the International preferences pane:
(en, de, es, ja, fr, it, nl, sv, nb, da, fi, pt, "zh-Hans", "zh-Hant", ko)
So I piped that to awk to pull out just the first one (they're ordered just like they are in the prefs pane, with the current language first). But that gives me some extra text:

So I piped that to sed to remove the comma and parenthesis. That gives me the current code, which in my case was "en" (or "de" if I switched the language).
defaults read -g AppleLocale
gives me en_GB. So maybe this last is better for you?
Well, sure, if you want to do it the easy way. But where's the fun in that? Seriously though, I get en_US, which is a more accurate and complete view of my settings...

NSLocaleLanguageCode How to get the iPhone language code

Hi everyone,
I am working on a multi-language software for the iPhone, and I realized that using [[NSLocale currentLocale] objectForKey:NSLocaleLanguageCode] doesn't give you back the actual language used on your iPhone, but give you the region format.
It is quite a strange way to ask for a LanguageCode and to not get it.
For some people it is not a big deal because both field would be same country, but for example if you set your region format into Japanese and your language is set to English, my software turn into Japanese.
Any clue ?
Thanks,
Kevin

I had the same problem, solved it with
NSString *language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];

AE Crash trying to get the user 'language' registry key

This is a strange crash I get just opening all sorts of different AE projects.
<140735243008352> <ASL.ResourceUtils.GetLanguageIDFromRegistry> <0> Unable to obtain the User 'Language' registry key at: Software\Adobe\After Effects\10.5.1\ Defaulting to 'en_US'.
It happens on a wide variety of projects just on opening them. Almost all are 720p. but some have footage, others are just PSD or other image files (PNG, JPG). Many of them have trapcode particular 2.1/form 2, but some don't.
I have to find another project, open it, and then hope it doesn't cause a crash. If not, then I can go back and open the project that crashed upon opening and it works fine. It may open a few times without problems, and then upon opening it another time, it will crash with the same warning.
I have a MacPro 2.66 GHz quad-core with 16GB RAM running 10.7.1 with an ATI Radeon HD 4870 card with 512MB of memory.
Seems rather bizarre to crash on trying to get a language registry setting, so any ideas for correcting this would be most helpful. Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue with After Effects. I have Adobe After Effects CS5.5 (v.10.5.1) and it keeps crashing when switching between AE and other programs. Here's a video of what's happening with mine.
I don't have any special plug-ins loaded except for what came with the program. OpenGL rendering is turned on and have tried turning it off to see if it make the problem go away and it doesn't make a difference.
Greatly appreciate any assistance I can get on this.

Get the system language

Hi ,
There is FM which can provide the system language which stored on RZ11 ?
i found this FM RSRA_GET_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE ,
but i need other FM .
Regards
Nina

There is no Where-Used-List for this "logic" and if you do an F1 on the CALL ' ...statement you will see that the documentation is not meant to be encouraging...
I would do a code scan for use of the statement by SAP and try to find a (preferably released) FM or method which encapsulates it.
If there isn't one, then I guess it is either not foreseen (or even illogical) or a functional deficiency.
@ Nina: Is your concern that the user can logon with a language which is different to the system default language? So you actually want to make it a system mandatory language?
Cheers,
Julius

How to get the date in local language

Hi,
I want display "Date" in Local language. Written code as below to display date in my RTF Template:
<?format-date:xdoxslt:sysdate_as_xsdformat();'dd'?><?' '?><?xdoxslt:month_name(substring(xdoxslt:sysdate(),3,2), 0, $_XDOLOCALE)?><?' '?><?format-date:xdoxslt:sysdate_as_xsdformat();'yyyy'?>
Output showing in my RTF template as "26 May 2011". which is correct for englilsh.
want to display same format in Local languge for example in Germany :
26 mai 2011
To get the local language format tried 1) by Putting "DEU" instead of "$_XDOLOCALE" 2. Tried by declaring a variable with value as "DEU"
But it two cases it showing in english format not in Germany Language. Please give me idea how to get date in local language.
Thanks

Dont think you have anyway to tell the target language for a single text retrieval. You can obviously set the locale of the user but that will change language of other texts also. If you always want to show some predefined text in English then better you dont keep the those texts at all in the translated files. Or you keep the English text in all the files - so that everytime English only gets displayed. But if your case is a selective one - i.e. you want to show English text to only German users but spanish to Spanish and French to French then I dont have any answer how to achieve the same.

Getting text to display on screen the Korean Language in Final Cut

We cannot figure out how to get the Korean language to display on screen in Final Cut Pro. We have the Korean language font and can get it to display in Word and Photoshop, but when we copy Korean text and paste it into Final Cut, it doesn't show up. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks...

when we copy Korean text and paste it into Final Cut, it doesn't show up.
You must make sure that the font for the text field in FC is set to a Korean font, and you may need to try different ones. Try AppleGothic first. Others are Gungseouche, HeadlineA, PCmyoungjo, Pilgiche, AppleMyungjo. Also try copy/pasting from TextEdit instead of from an MS or Adobe app.

He used Spanish and stable Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 6.0.1 update now stable but the language changed to English, how do I put the Spanish language if you do not get the xpi package in Spanish. Thanks for the help they can give me.

I can not get the Spanish language package before updating my Firefox 3.6 was in Spanish and now the updated version 6.0.1 I get in English, I want my Firefox 6.0.1 in Spanish please.

If the Firefox user interface (menu bar) is in the wrong language or if you want to change the current language then you can get Firefox in the language of your choice here:
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Remove (uninstall) the current Firefox version.
* Install the new Firefox version of the wanted language.

Can I get the language from device?

with the adobe packager 3.0 can I get the language from device?
thanks

You can get the devices "Language" setting by looking at the first element of the array returned by Capabilities.languages.
Unfortunately the codes returned don't seem to always match the standard naming convention for language codes.
var languageSettings:Array = Capabilities.languages;
if ( languageSettings.length > 0 )
if ( (languageSettings[0]).toString().toLowerCase() == "en-gb" )
// Do something based on the language being "British English" in this case.
I still need a way to determine if the user is using Canadian English, but the device seems to only have 2 English settings (English and British English).
There is a Canadian "Region Format" setting also under Settings->General->International->Region Format, but I'm not sure how to access that information.
If anyone knows how to access the region format, I'd love to know.
Thanks.

Class Locale
java.lang.Object
java.util.Locale
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Serializable
public final class Locale
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable
A Locale object represents a specific geographical, political, or cultural region. An operation that requires a Locale to perform its task is called locale-sensitive and uses the Locale to tailor information for the user. For example, displaying a number is a locale-sensitive operation--the number should be formatted according to the customs/conventions of the user's native country, region, or culture.
Create a Locale object using the constructors in this class:
Locale(String language)
Locale(String language, String country)
Locale(String language, String country, String variant)
The language argument is a valid ISO Language Code. These codes are the lower-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-639. You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt
The country argument is a valid ISO Country Code. These codes are the upper-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-3166. You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html
The variant argument is a vendor or browser-specific code. For example, use WIN for Windows, MAC for Macintosh, and POSIX for POSIX. Where there are two variants, separate them with an underscore, and put the most important one first. For example, a Traditional Spanish collation might construct a locale with parameters for language, country and variant as: "es", "ES", "Traditional_WIN".
Because a Locale object is just an identifier for a region, no validity check is performed when you construct a Locale. If you want to see whether particular resources are available for the Locale you construct, you must query those resources. For example, ask the NumberFormat for the locales it supports using its getAvailableLocales method.
Note: When you ask for a resource for a particular locale, you get back the best available match, not necessarily precisely what you asked for. For more information, look at ResourceBundle.
The Locale class provides a number of convenient constants that you can use to create Locale objects for commonly used locales. For example, the following creates a Locale object for the United States:
Locale.US
Once you've created a Locale you can query it for information about itself. Use getCountry to get the ISO Country Code and getLanguage to get the ISO Language Code. You can use getDisplayCountry to get the name of the country suitable for displaying to the user. Similarly, you can use getDisplayLanguage to get the name of the language suitable for displaying to the user. Interestingly, the getDisplayXXX methods are themselves locale-sensitive and have two versions: one that uses the default locale and one that uses the locale specified as an argument.
The Java 2 platform provides a number of classes that perform locale-sensitive operations. For example, the NumberFormat class formats numbers, currency, or percentages in a locale-sensitive manner. Classes such as NumberFormat have a number of convenience methods for creating a default object of that type. For example, the NumberFormat class provides these three convenience methods for creating a default NumberFormat object:
NumberFormat.getInstance()
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance()
NumberFormat.getPercentInstance()
These methods have two variants; one with an explicit locale and one without; the latter using the default locale.
NumberFormat.getInstance(myLocale)
NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(myLocale)
NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(myLocale)
A Locale is the mechanism for identifying the kind of object (NumberFormat) that you would like to get. The locale is just a mechanism for identifying objects, not a container for the objects themselves.
Each class that performs locale-sensitive operations allows you to get all the available objects of that type. You can sift through these objects by language, country, or variant, and use the display names to present a menu to the user. For example, you can create a menu of all the collation objects suitable for a given language. Such classes must implement these three class methods:
public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()
public static String getDisplayName(Locale objectLocale,
Locale displayLocale)
public static final String getDisplayName(Locale objectLocale)
// getDisplayName will throw MissingResourceException if the locale
// is not one of the available locales.

Constructor Detail
Locale
public Locale(String language,
String country,
String variant)Construct a locale from language, country, variant. NOTE: ISO 639 is not a stable standard; some of the language codes it defines (specifically iw, ji, and in) have changed. This constructor accepts both the old codes (iw, ji, and in) and the new codes (he, yi, and id), but all other API on Locale will return only the OLD codes.
Parameters:
language - lowercase two-letter ISO-639 code.
country - uppercase two-letter ISO-3166 code.
variant - vendor and browser specific code. See class description.
Throws:
NullPointerException - thrown if any argument is null.

This constructor accepts both the old codes (iw, ji, and in) and the new codes (he, yi, and id), but all other API on Locale will return only the OLD codes.
Parameters:
language - lowercase two-letter ISO-639 code.
country - uppercase two-letter ISO-3166 code.
Throws:
NullPointerException - thrown if either argument is null.

Method Detail
getDefault
public static Locale getDefault()Gets the current value of the default locale for this instance of the Java Virtual Machine.
The Java Virtual Machine sets the default locale during startup based on the host environment. It is used by many locale-sensitive methods if no locale is explicitly specified. It can be changed using the setDefault method.
Returns:
the default locale for this instance of the Java Virtual Machine
setDefault
public static void setDefault(Locale newLocale)Sets the default locale for this instance of the Java Virtual Machine. This does not affect the host locale.
If there is a security manager, its checkPermission method is called with a PropertyPermission("user.language", "write") permission before the default locale is changed.
The Java Virtual Machine sets the default locale during startup based on the host environment. It is used by many locale-sensitive methods if no locale is explicitly specified.
Since changing the default locale may affect many different areas of functionality, this method should only be used if the caller is prepared to reinitialize locale-sensitive code running within the same Java Virtual Machine, such as the user interface.
Parameters:
newLocale - the new default locale
Throws:
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkPermission method doesn't allow the operation.
NullPointerException - if newLocale is null
See Also:
SecurityManager.checkPermission(java.security.Permission), PropertyPermission
getAvailableLocales
public static Locale[] getAvailableLocales()Returns a list of all installed locales.
getISOCountries
public static String[] getISOCountries()Returns a list of all 2-letter country codes defined in ISO 3166. Can be used to create Locales.
getISOLanguages
public static String[] getISOLanguages()Returns a list of all 2-letter language codes defined in ISO 639. Can be used to create Locales. [NOTE: ISO 639 is not a stable standard-- some languages' codes have changed. The list this function returns includes both the new and the old codes for the languages whose codes have changed.]
getLanguage
public String getLanguage()Returns the language code for this locale, which will either be the empty string or a lowercase ISO 639 code.
NOTE: ISO 639 is not a stable standard-- some languages' codes have changed. Locale's constructor recognizes both the new and the old codes for the languages whose codes have changed, but this function always returns the old code. If you want to check for a specific language whose code has changed, don't do
if (locale.getLanguage().equals("he")
Instead, do
if (locale.getLanguage().equals(new Locale("he", "", "").getLanguage())

getDisplayLanguage()
getCountry
public String getCountry()Returns the country/region code for this locale, which will either be the empty string or an upercase ISO 3166 2-letter code.
See Also:
getDisplayCountry()
getVariant
public String getVariant()Returns the variant code for this locale.
See Also:
getDisplayVariant()
toString
public final String toString()Getter for the programmatic name of the entire locale, with the language, country and variant separated by underbars. Language is always lower case, and country is always upper case. If the language is missing, the string will begin with an underbar. If both the language and country fields are missing, this function will return the empty string, even if the variant field is filled in (you can't have a locale with just a variant-- the variant must accompany a valid language or country code). Examples: "en", "de_DE", "_GB", "en_US_WIN", "de__POSIX", "fr__MAC"
Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
a string representation of the object.
See Also:
getDisplayName()
getISO3Language
public String getISO3Language()
throws MissingResourceExceptionReturns a three-letter abbreviation for this locale's language. If the locale doesn't specify a language, this will be the empty string. Otherwise, this will be a lowercase ISO 639-2/T language code. The ISO 639-2 language codes can be found on-line at ftp://dkuug.dk/i18n/iso-639-2.txt
Throws:
MissingResourceException - Throws MissingResourceException if the three-letter language abbreviation is not available for this locale.
getISO3Country
public String getISO3Country()
throws MissingResourceExceptionReturns a three-letter abbreviation for this locale's country. If the locale doesn't specify a country, this will be tbe the empty string. Otherwise, this will be an uppercase ISO 3166 3-letter country code.
Throws:
MissingResourceException - Throws MissingResourceException if the three-letter country abbreviation is not available for this locale.
getDisplayLanguage
public final String getDisplayLanguage()Returns a name for the locale's language that is appropriate for display to the user. If possible, the name returned will be localized for the default locale. For example, if the locale is fr_FR and the default locale is en_US, getDisplayLanguage() will return "French"; if the locale is en_US and the default locale is fr_FR, getDisplayLanguage() will return "anglais". If the name returned cannot be localized for the default locale, (say, we don't have a Japanese name for Croatian), this function falls back on the English name, and uses the ISO code as a last-resort value. If the locale doesn't specify a language, this function returns the empty string.
getDisplayLanguage
public String getDisplayLanguage(Locale inLocale)Returns a name for the locale's language that is appropriate for display to the user. If possible, the name returned will be localized according to inLocale. For example, if the locale is fr_FR and inLocale is en_US, getDisplayLanguage() will return "French"; if the locale is en_US and inLocale is fr_FR, getDisplayLanguage() will return "anglais". If the name returned cannot be localized according to inLocale, (say, we don't have a Japanese name for Croatian), this function falls back on the default locale, on the English name, and finally on the ISO code as a last-resort value. If the locale doesn't specify a language, this function returns the empty string.
getDisplayCountry
public final String getDisplayCountry()Returns a name for the locale's country that is appropriate for display to the user. If possible, the name returned will be localized for the default locale. For example, if the locale is fr_FR and the default locale is en_US, getDisplayCountry() will return "France"; if the locale is en_US and the default locale is fr_FR, getDisplayLanguage() will return "Etats-Unis". If the name returned cannot be localized for the default locale, (say, we don't have a Japanese name for Croatia), this function falls back on the English name, and uses the ISO code as a last-resort value. If the locale doesn't specify a country, this function returns the empty string.
getDisplayCountry
public String getDisplayCountry(Locale inLocale)Returns a name for the locale's country that is appropriate for display to the user. If possible, the name returned will be localized according to inLocale. For example, if the locale is fr_FR and inLocale is en_US, getDisplayCountry() will return "France"; if the locale is en_US and inLocale is fr_FR, getDisplayLanguage() will return "Etats-Unis". If the name returned cannot be localized according to inLocale. (say, we don't have a Japanese name for Croatia), this function falls back on the default locale, on the English name, and finally on the ISO code as a last-resort value. If the locale doesn't specify a country, this function returns the empty string.
getDisplayVariant
public final String getDisplayVariant()Returns a name for the locale's variant code that is appropriate for display to the user. If possible, the name will be localized for the default locale. If the locale doesn't specify a variant code, this function returns the empty string.
getDisplayVariant
public String getDisplayVariant(Locale inLocale)Returns a name for the locale's variant code that is appropriate for display to the user. If possible, the name will be localized for inLocale. If the locale doesn't specify a variant code, this function returns the empty string.
getDisplayName
public final String getDisplayName()Returns a name for the locale that is appropriate for display to the user. This will be the values returned by getDisplayLanguage(), getDisplayCountry(), and getDisplayVariant() assembled into a single string. The display name will have one of the following forms:
language (country, variant)
language (country)
language (variant)
country (variant)
language
country
variant
depending on which fields are specified in the locale. If the language, country, and variant fields are all empty, this function returns the empty string.
getDisplayName
public String getDisplayName(Locale inLocale)Returns a name for the locale that is appropriate for display to the user. This will be the values returned by getDisplayLanguage(), getDisplayCountry(), and getDisplayVariant() assembled into a single string. The display name will have one of the following forms:

Was it really necessary to post the whole API description?!?
Locale[] locales = Locale.ENGLISH();ENGLISH is not a method in class Locale, so do not add the braces "( );".
Also, the constant ENGLISH is not an array, but just a single Locale object.
You didn't say what your problem was. What do you want to achieve with your program and what is it that you don't understand?

HOW to define the default language in the portal

Normally the portal take the language of the internet explorer for user.
I want to define a default language for all portal users in our portal, so that every user get the same default language.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
We are on EP6 SP2.
Thanks Sybille

Hi Olivier,
thank you for the response.
I added
request.mandatorylanguage=de
request.mandatorycountry=de
to
request.defaultlanguage=de
request.defaultcountry=de
Now, I get the default language german, but when I want to changed the portal language over personalize to English, the result is nevertheless the german language.
Can you help me again? Where can I get a documentation about this?
I want a default language: German. Also when the Internet Explorer has a different language. But when the user select manual one of the permitted languages (English and German) over the personalize button, the language should change to the selected language. Is it possible?
Bye Sybille

How to get the request in a SearchComponent

Hello,
I developed a search component and want to implement a language specific logic.
Therefore I tried to get the component request to get the user to get the users language.
But unfortunatly I'm not able to get the request. In a normal AbstractPortalComponent there's no problem to get the request, but my interface ISearchComponent, which I have to use, does not provide any kind of request...
Please help,
Regards,
Axel

Hi Axel,
Did you just implement an ISearchComponent interface? If yes, then you have implemented setDynPage(dynPage) which is called by the framework passing a DynPage object. On that you can call getRequest(). See http://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/nw_kmc/javadoc/com/sapportals/wcm/control/util/search/ISearchComponent.html and https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/SPS15/hb/com/sapportals/htmlb/page/DynPage.html for details.
If the answer to the initial question is "no", please provide details which class you may have extended etc.
Hope it helps

How can i get the correct text from the url which has the mulitp-languages?

hi, all
i built a application and deployed it on sun application server 8.1. when i request a url which include some multi-languages (for example http://xxx.com/servlet?value=XXX. the 'XXX' may be simply chinese. ), i got the ??? instead of the correct text. how can i do it? in tomcat server, i can set the URIEncoding=GBK to get the correct code in server.xml. how can i do it in sun app server?
thanks.

Ok, it is unclear on what is happening here.
Are you saying that when the webclient gets the data that it is not honoring the quote characters? Or the processing of the data buffer is causing issues?
This is what I see the of your example text which is trying to be parse out:
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','תווית על בגד: ’’תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה’’','כתב: Spook בתאריך: 08.03.15 שעה: 22:11 מחאת טוויטר קמה בעקבות תוויות שוביניסטיות שהדפיסה חברת אופנה באינדונזיה לפיהן תפקיד הכביסה מוטל על האישה. החברה התנצלה אך כנראה רק עשתה רק יותר נזק לע...'); Activate();">";
It appears to me that the escapes `’` does not have matching `“` anywhere within the tooltip. So it appears that the page properly places left quotes in when processing the page, but the raw html has broken text.
Hence a garbage in, garbage out situation.
