Is it possible to change the default language of a computer remotely?

Hi
Is it possible to change the default language of a computer remotely?
We have Apple Remote desktop and network home folders with managed prefs but i don't seem to be able to use either of these to change the default language of all of our macs to "British English".
is there a UNIX command that can do this?

The simple way is via the Internationalization settings via ARD or RDP or Screen Sharing, either via System Preferences or (if enabled) via the menu bar. If you're looking for a lower-level approach, there's not AFAIK a direct command for this. As for one possible approach, might [threadID=2106201|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2106201] help?

  • How to change the default language?

    How to change the default language of the Ubuntu desktop and of the Firefox program to Norwegian or Danish?

    While this isn't the appropriate venue to ask about changing the default language in Ubuntu, the snide forum link above lazily fails to address the Firefox language issue, and unfortunately this link now comes up on the first page of google searches about the default language in firefox.
    To change Firefox's default language, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Content, and click the "Choose" button under the Languages heading.
    To change the default language of your spell checker, right click on any text area and find the "Languages" entry in the menu, then select the language of your choice.

    Hi,
    set the NLS_LANG parameter and make sure the language supplement classes got installed when installing the deesigntime or server. If you need to change the language for runtime, set the value in the default.env file - assuming its a web based appication

  • Is it possible to change the default URL when creating new hyperlinks?

    I'm currently working to take a 128 page catalog that was created in InDesign for print and turn it into a interactive PDF to post on our companies website. The catalog contains thousands of part numbers and I'd like to link each one to its corresponding stock status page on our website that gives current availability and pricing for any particular customer.
    So say I'm dealing with part number "XXXX". When I go to add the hyperlink the default web address it spits out is " http://XXXX ". Instead of that, would it be possible to change the default to " http://forums.adobe.com/discussion/XXXX/1 ". Obviously I just used this website as an example, but it would save so much time if I could avoid having to type the exact same URL every time.
    Or maybe is there a quicker way to do this other than what I am currently trying?
    Thanks

    I've found some external software applications that will do it, so that leads me to believe its not possible within ID CC.

  • How do I change the default language for spell-checker please?

    I have seen the instructions below but cannot find the Personalization section?
    I currently have a US English spell-checker, I need a UK English one.
    Changing The Default Language
    Make sure you are on your homescreen.
    Tap on the Settings app to open the Settings App.
    Scroll to the Personalization section.
    Tap on Language.

    Have just found that if you select Install Language Pack but then, do NOT download it, just below and to the right of "Download Now" is "View other versions".
    Click on that and the second item is Version28.0
    Hover your mouse on that and you get " + Add to Firefox" - so select that.

  • How do I change the default language for the spell checker? - solved, sort of...

    As the previous thread was closed without actual resolution - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941350?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
    I managed to solve this on my end by just reinstalling firefox using the localisation of the default dictionary language i wanted from here - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    A bit of a shame that the main download page doesnt select the geographically relevant localisation for you and even more so that changing the default language for the in built spell checker is so kak. oh well.

    Right-click a web form on any web page.

  • Change the default language of an existing SAP Portal

    Hi,
    Our SAP Portal works with two languages, Spanish and English. The default language is Spanish, but since the company is becoming more international, we want to set the default language to English. Need to know if you can change the default language of an existing SAP Portal.
    Specifically, it is the case of the standard UWL notifications, which are sent by mail in Spanish. For tasks defined in the application, the message is personalized and sent in two languages ​​at once. However, when the task is not defined, notifications arrive in the default language, which is now Spanish. Could anyone tell me if I change it?
    Thanks for the help!

    Dear Marciano
    I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
    In relation to the scenario that you have described regarding the language setting for EP and the UWL.
    The language that the portal is displayed in depends on the following heirarchy, with the languages at the top of the list taking precedenceover those at the bottom:
    1.Component (iview) language (defined in the portalapp.xml)
    2.Portal Mandatory language (defined in the prtDefault.properties)
    3.User language (defined in the user#s profile).
    4.Request language (defined by the browser).
    5.Portal Default language (defined in the prtDefault.properties)
    6.System Default language (default locale defined by the OS).
    So for example, if you have your portal user language (as in point 3)set to Czech, but the language of the iView that is the logon page (as in point 1) set to English, that logon page will be displayed in English.
    Regarding the navigation path for the prtDefault.properties kindly refer to the SAP Documentation outlined below which provides a detailed summary and walkthrough regarding the language settings.

  • Possible to change the default spool request title ?

    Hello,
    I'm SAP Basis guy, I've been asked by our functional team if it would be possible to change the default spool request title.
    Our endusers have access to transaction SP01, where every morning, they can see the spools request that have been generated during the execution of night batches.
    Currently, the default spool name is displayed :
    Title or name of spool request LIST1S LOCL ZREPORTSUFFIX (in transactions sm37 and sp01)
    Is it possible to change the default name of this spool request with some abap coding ?
    Thank you.

    hi,
    goto transaction SPAD and change the default values as you require but i doubt whether you would be able to change the spool title after the job has been triggered i think it is nt possible
    but for further requests you can change it from SPAD
    reard if helpful

  • I have changed default language in the program & have set Language & region in system preferences. My Word (Mac2011) keeps on changing the default language to US english every time I check. Please help!

    I have changed default language in the program & have set Language & region in system preferences. My Word (Mac2011) keeps on changing the default language to US english every time I check. Please help!

    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.

  • Is It Possible to Change The Default Browser to Open Links in Reader?

    Hi,
    Does anybody know if it's possible to change the browser that opens links in Adobe Reader? Currently, as I click on a link Internet Explorer starts up by default. Can I change it to another browser?
    Thanks

    Not Adobe Reader related but I'd like to add the following:
    To set firefox as default browser
    Firefox: Tools - Options - Advanced - General (tab) - System Defaults - click Check Now (button) and click Yes when prompted.

  • SAPGUI - is it possible to change the default Theme?

    Hello,
    Currently, the default is the "Enjoy" theme with the "Complementary" colour setting.
    Is it possible to change either of these defaults? We have to change the default theme for all users without them having to change it themselves.
    We are using SAPGUI 640 patch 13.
    Many thanks
    Gonzalo.
    Realtech AG Consultant.

    Assuming we are talking about Windows, the color settings are maintained in the registry.  The defaults are listed under:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\General\Appearance]
    "SapCreateKey"=dword:00000000
    "HuePaletteBuffer"="9b9a8ffcfcedf4f3e3eae9d7e0dfd0d8d6c7cecdc0cbcbbdc1c0b2b7b6a8adac9fa09f958e8e847f7e7572726a6867605b5a544f4f493f3f3b65808e839daa8da8b795b1c1"
    <b>"Theme"="Enjoy"</b>
    "OldName"="Default"
    "NewName"="Enjoy"
    "SplashOff"=dword:00000001
    "Animation"="Off"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\General\Appearance\Themes]
    "SapCreateKey"=dword:00000000
    <b>"SystemDefault"="Enjoy"</b>
    If you wanted to change the color settings that the user is actually seeing, you would need to edit the Current User:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\General\Appearance]
    "SapCreateKey"=dword:00000000
    "HuePaletteBuffer"="9b9a8ffcfcedf4f3e3eae9d7e0dfd0d8d6c7cecdc0cbcbbdc1c0b2b7b6a8adac9fa09f958e8e847f7e7572726a6867605b5a544f4f493f3f3b65808e839daa8da8b795b1c1"
    <b>"Theme"="Tradeshow"</b>
    "SplashOff"=dword:00000000
    "OldName"="Default"
    "NewName"="Enjoy"
    "Animation"="On"
    "Sound"="On"
    "Scaling"="100"
    These could be changed via logon script or other PC management tools like SMS.  The defaults can be changed in the SAP GUI install using scripting support so that you wouldn't have to continually change them.

  • IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT WEB PRESENTATION OF IFS?

    We have a web application that has links to specific documents and directories stored in IFS. For example, there could be a link that resolves to this URL within IFS:
    http://oraifs-pd.nbme.org:8002/ifs/files/home/ads/systems/CLOP/Minutes/Inventory/
    What we see when the user follows this link is something like this:
    Index of /home/ads/systems/CLOP/Minutes/Inventory/
    CLOP_Shipping_Procedures.doc
    Meetings
    P&P0404.xls
    P&Pdoc.xls
    Samples
    Schedules
    Note that this is a very plain presentation, with just a heading telling you the directory you're in and a dumb list of the files and subdirectories you are looking at.
    The developers would like to change this default presentation, if possible, without having to go deep into the IFS API calls to build a custom application.
    Is there a template or default html file that we can edit to change this presentation? I opened a TAR on this, but was told to come to OTN since Oracle Support doesn't get into customization issues.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    no, you cannot change the built-in http file listing that iFS provides. you can, however, write your own servlet and display whatever HTML you would like. the iFS API calls to get file listings by path and attributes from objects are very easy -- most of the work would be in building the servlet.

  • Change the default language in AM

    Hello,
    We are using Lookups in our application which stores the locale specific information. We have a drop down in the UI which will give the language names like 'American English', 'Canadian French' etc. When chosen 'Canadian French' we need to change the nls_language in the db to refresh the contents in the lookup generated component to show in French. How to acheive this?
    We are able to switch the bundles, upon change in locale in the run time. But the AM setting - to set the DB session is what we are looking for. Would appreciate your help on this.
    Thanks,
    Chitra.

    Thanks,
    Chitra.to localize ADF-BC you need to set the jbo.default.country and jbo.default.language property to language value in Application module configuration
    other way is to override the prepareSession method in ApplicationModuleImpl class to call some JDBC statement to set the dbms_application_info.set_client_info to value of the language.
    if you can provide more details about your lookup table and data structures then one can be more helpful

  • Is it possible to change the default "oraesb" database schema ?

    Wondering if it is possible to configure ESB to use a database schema other than the default one (i.e oraesb). Motivation: I have one database that I'd like to leverage for multiple mid-tier installations.
    From the IRCA script, I get the impression that this should be possible. If so, are any of these steps documented anywhere. Thanks.

    In theory yes, although I have never tried, nor probably recommend.
    Thinking about it, what you would need to do is install the SOA suite as you would normally using the default schema. Once installed and working copy the ORAESB schema into another schema of your choice.
    In the enterprise manaher you would need to change all the connection details to pount to the new schema. In the jdbc resources. Make sure that the names in the datasorce remain the same.
    I think it would be too dificult to do at install time.
    cheers
