Language default

Since I live in Australia, I'd like to set the language default to Australian English. As it is, every time I open a document in Pages, it defaults to ENGLISH. It's a bit tedious, changing all the time. Is there any way to set a default?

Rob
The Australian English is a furphy. It is just British English. But then Apple's "English" is not British English it is American.
The default language is set in:
+Menu > System Preferences… > Language & Text > Language > Drag Australian English to the top of the list+
That should be enough to make the dictionary default to A.E.
If it doesn't then it may be due to the styles set in the template (not Apple's):
+Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer+
The default text in most templates is either "Body" or "Free Form". You can change either of these to be whatever language you want by selecting a sample, changing its language in the Text Inspector then updating the style by clicking on the red triangle to the right of the style name and selecting +Redefine Style from Selection+
Of course you will have to save this as a new template and use that from now on.

SharePoint 2013 Problem with automatic detection of Site language - default language

Hi all,
we have a SiteCollection that was created with 'english' as
default language.
On our SharePoint 2013 environment we have installed the 'german' and 'french' language pack. Both languages are activated as alternative languages on that SiteCollection.
But the automatic language detection is not working properly for us.
Problem description:
User Browser language = German --> Site language = German
If you now change the Browser language to 'Italian' then we would expect that the site will be displayed in 'English' because the 'Italian' language pack is not installed and the SiteCollection default language was set to 'English'...
But the Site will be not displayed in 'English' it will keep the last language in this case 'German'...
Another example: If you change the browser language to 'French' the whole Site is displayed in French. If you try to switch now to 'Italian' then the Site will be still displayed in 'French' instead of 'English'...
Any ideas what could cause this problem?
Regards, Simon

Hi Simon,
Here is the order of the language preference showing to users with different settings
For your issue it may be due to the IE data cache, please clear all the IE data cache, then reopen the IE browser see if it displays the English language as expected.

If the User Profile service application is started on the SharePoint Server 2013 farm, the language preferences stored in the user profile are used. For information about how to add a list of languages to user profile settings in SharePoint Server 2013,
see Add, edit, or delete custom properties in SharePoint Server 2013 user profiles. For information about how to add a list of languages to user profile settings in SharePoint Online Administration Center, see Add and edit user profile properties on Office.com.
If no language preference is defined in the user profile, or if the server uses SharePoint Foundation 2013, the language preferences stored in the user's language settings for the site collection are used.
If no language preference is defined in the user's site collection language settings, the language preferences stored in the user's web browser are used.
If no language preference is defined in the user's web browser, the default site language is used.

Decline message in some foreign languages default to german

Groupwise 2014 Clients set to Swedish or Danish have a feature where an appointment being declined by a recipient results in the decline message coming back in german and not in the language the client is using.
Please note that other messages all seem to be in the correct language. Below is a decline message received to a Groupwise Client using Swedish as only language.
"XXX hat folgende Nachricht abgelehnt: test; (5. Dez 2014 12:30) CET"
Further testing has shown that if the decline message comes in shortly after startup of the Groupwise Client, it appears in swedish, but wait a few minutes and subsequent declines come in in german.
We proceeded to uninstall the Groupwise client and re-install this time including Swedish and English languages, and this time around the decline again was swedish right after Groupwise client startup and after a while it went to be english. So adding English as a client language fixed the "german" feature, which is better but still isn't quite right
Anybody has a fix for this - or have seen similar behaviour ?
Or are we heading straight for a SR ticket ?

IMac does not recognize that I have set language default to English

I am not very computer savvy so please be patient with me. I have set the language to English on my computer but whenever I type anything it is telling me that every word (for instance in this post) is mispelled (so they are all underlined in red dashed lines). Why? How can I fix it? I have a little USA flag on the top right hand corner of my computer as well - not sure where that came from. Thanks!!!

I have set the language to English on my computer
When you go to System Prefs/International/Languages, is English at the top of the list?
but whenever I type anything it is telling me that every word (for instance in this post) is mispelled (so they are all underlined in red dashed lines). Why?
Probably because the spell checker is set to something else. Go to Edit > Spelling and make sure the dictionary is set to English.
I have a little USA flag on the top right hand corner of my computer as well - not sure where that came from.
That results from checking the box for Show Input Menu in Finder in System Prefs/International/Input Menu.

Installation language defaults to OS language

Based in sweden with swedish XP pro, the install of latest version 7.0.3 requires installation language be selected = English (USA). Once install is finished and program is opened, all menus are in swedish. Also have found the menu item in QT to select language, there is only one option - english - which was originally chosen during install, but is ignored when selected here. This problem did not exist with 7.0.2. Perhaps a case of trying to be too clever - please fix or advise solution as have difficulty using QT Pro now as a result.

Translation language defaults ALWAYS wrong - outlook2010

In our office, we recieve emails in many different languages. It would be SOOOO helpful if we can set the TO language to English. Outlook has NEVER guessed the correct combination of languages.
Personally, i receive emails in Spanish and German and EVERY time i choose translate (right click on word/paragrapth/etc) my Research bar says FROM English TO Chinese.
Its worse than not having a translation feature. And more clicks/effort than using Google Translate or BabelFish.
Can some one please give me good news about Upgrades / Service Packs / even registry hacks...
Thanks.
If I am all here, does that mean I am not all there?

Thanks Dezzz. Your ideas are worthy of a growing and successful IT company.
Microsoft, note the word growing!!!
So its Jan 2013. Everyones back to work. And the stress levels are rising fast, people are getting pissed off. The christmas cheer has gone and anger and hatred are flowing from every cubicle. Thank you Microsoft. You are turning a pleasent office into hell.
And why? Because you refuse to address the bugs and failures in your expensive software.
This BUG of not being able to translate text TO your own language is a failure of epic proportions.
CAN YOU HEAR ME ?????????
I dont want to know HOW its done, or WHY, or any other irrelevent and useless information. I dont want to hear Whats Your Version Number (in a whiny voice) or any other delaying tactic. I just want it fixed.
FIX IT ALREADY !!!!!
I am now a strong supporter of open source software. While i have never been a fan-boy of Mac or Linux intensity, I did voice a reasonable argument as to why we used MS products.
But you've dropped the ball too many times MS, so i'm dropping you as soon as I can.

E-Mail language defaults to American.

Office Web Apps Server Default language.

we are using Office Web Apps Server 2013 SP1 with SharePoint 2013 SP1. All servers use English UK regional settings, all SharePoint Sites use English UK as default regional setting.
When we create a new document using Word Web App, the default proofing language defaults to En-US.
How can i configure the office web apps or SharePoint to use English-UK as default.

Hi talwar,
As I tested in my environment, I couldn’t set default proofing language in Office Web App. And I found a similar case:

EBS 12.1.3: Login page default language & logout time

Hi,
two questions:
In EBS 12.1.3 multi-language environment, is the the following only way to control default language in login page? We don't want to disable/hide the other languages, just set the default.
- How to select the language Default for the Login Page on Oracle Application in a Multi-Lang Environment [ID 418296.1]
We would want to control it from the server side.
Also,
what would be the best document to describe different timeouts settings in EBS 12.1.3? We want to increase idle timeout setting (i.e. if user doesn't do anything in EBS he/she gets automatically logged out). Does the timeout setting differ between html/jsp and forms pages?
Many thanks for your answers in advance.

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.

Users by default logon language

Hi
I am trying to find out how many users logon to our global EEC5 system from different regions/countries, due to the lack of information entered in SU01 during the creation of users, I think the only reliable information to search on is 'Logon Language' in SU01 defaults, as we do setup the users to logon via their region logon language in the defaults, this should give me a rough guide at least !
Looking at SU01 and the reports in SUIM, I cannot find a report where I can search using logon language as the key? I've had a look in the technical information for field logon language in SU01 and the field name is LANGU, but when I use this field name in SUIM --> Users by complex selection criteria (RSUSR002) -- > field name LANGU and value as language key = DE for example no matching results displayed, even though we have over 00 users with a logon language default set as DE.
Does anyone know a way I can list the users by logon language set as their default?
Thanks for any help.

This details can be found from the Report RSUSR200 (users by Logon date and password chage). Please deselect all options and keep the following selected:
Users Valid Today
Users Not Locked ; Users Locked
Users with no incorrect Logon attempts
Dialog Users
Users with Productive password
Users with initial Password
users with deactivated password
Execute and check / download the list.

Dipanjan

Multipoint Sever 2011 - default language settings?

I inherited a gifted Multipoint 2011 server with six direct connect stations. It appears the default language from install is French (we are a bi-lingual school) however we want it to default to US English for ease of use due to keyboard issues.
I can't uninstall French language because it says "Language is the system language (default language of the user interface)." To workaround this I attempted to set the Welcome screen and new user accounts settings as such:
I then created new users for the clients to use. When they first login they are set to FR in language bar even though I removed the French keyboard as option:
Further if I change the language bar settings for a user it sometimes resets on its own (I haven't figure out trigger) and definitely changes on logoff / logon. I don't have media or keys for this install so I can't rebuild server. Any suggestions?

Try going to Word help, there are language options, go to Word help, type "change language" into the search box,click "about multilingual features in Word.
Hope this helps.
