Language sets location, or the nefarious lazyness of simplicity

Dear All,
I would like to understand how it is that any of you Apple experts resolve the issue of living in a foreign country and speaking a foreign language.
I would like to explain a little better my pickle:
I speak a few languages but here we are focusing on the problem. My native language is for sake of argument Portuguese. But I speak in English now that I live abroad. Incidentally I live in the timezone of Istanbul, Riga and Helsinki. The problem this generates is simple. It seems Apple confuse your language with your location.
SO, if I set my language to Portuguese it assumes I am in that timezone even when I set my timezone manually to say Finland. So, my computer system has the right time becasue I have set it manually as GMT plus 2 (At least that´s what it says on system preferences/advanced).
Unfortunately I am on Bootcamp now and can´t change back so can´t go through the time consuming process of revealing all the details and various attempts at different parameter variations I triefd yesterday for hours to no avail.
Please Apple, you used to make this mistake, and likely still do... of mistaking the Apple Store location with the language of the Apple Store. SO just because I live in a country I have to be fluent in their language? SO when all the Apple engineers come to visit the benzene stricken cancer patients, that they ignored for years in their IPhone factories to save a dollar/unit,  in a last ditch PR stunt, how do they set their machines so as not to be forced to navigate in Chinese and have the right time on their calendar (China that is) while setting the system to English?
But back to my current problem. How can I have a setting that is GMT time plus 2, with a MAC OSX running in Portuguese, in a location that is my current location. Because all my calendar dates change language once I insert my current location. Suddenly days come in Finnish.
Thank you in advance to all the Apple enthusiasts that tirelessly help out for free such a profitable behemoth.

Hi Tom,
Calendar with Portguese day names but your clock to read GMT plus 2
Mozambique idea is actually a good point so I will give it a try. That is exactly what i want.
But it is a workaround isn't it? I can't be the only person in a country that doesn't speak the official language that well.
I'll send some feedback to Apple,
Thanks

  • When I was setting up the language Setting, I pressed the play/pause button three times and now the voice that talks you through everything speaks extremely fast. How do I get her to speak slower?

  • Set location of the Help display

    try {
    URL url = new URL("file:/c:/help/help.hs"); // the actual location of the help set
    HelpSet hs = new HelpSet(null, url);
    HelpBroker hb = hs.createHelpBroker();
    helpDocsItem.addActionListener(new CSH.DisplayHelpFromSource(hb));
    catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    I used the above code, and the Help is displayed on the left corner of the screen.
    How to set the location of the Help display? Can I set a frame as its parent? If yes, how to do that?
    Thank you.

    you can use HelpBroker.setLocation and HelpBroker.setSize, but both are new methods introduced in JavaHelp 2.0 beta release only.

  • Set location for the JLabel

    Hello!
    I've got an interesting effect and I don't have a list idea why it happens. I set layout to null in the panel and created some JLabels in this panel. Then I saved locations of the labels in a data base, exited from the window and tried to create the panel and labels again using information saved in the data base. All labels appeared in the panel but their locations were slightly different in spite of the coordinates were the same as befor. The top left corner of each label slightly displacemnts to the up and left. I used setLocation method in the JLabel and also tried to use setBound but result was the same.
    Does anybody know what the matter is?
    TIA

  • About language setting in owb 11gr2

    I have a problem in the owb language setting, that all the message of error codes can not be correctly displayed.
    It reads like this:
    XOQ-01400: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
    Maybe that's because my OS is in Chinese version, so Oracle or owb chooses by default to output the message in Chinese, which could not be correctly displayed.
    Is there anyway I can change the output error message language to English? Is this an issue with Oracle language setting or owb language setting or both? Thanks very much for your kind help.

    Hi Carsten,
    Thanks for your help. I tried your approach, but it does not apply to my case. I guess it's because the messages were not encoded in English when they were generated from the server side, so merely changing the client side ide setting is not enough.
    I wonder if there is a way to change the language setting on the server side, but I don't want to reinstall Oracle or OWB, which is an onerous task and causes loss of data.

    Since you can see it in your device list it must have Find My Mac activated, but you're going to have to wait for them to take it online in order to either locate, lock or wipe it. Until it goes online you can't do anything. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/find-my-device/

    java.util
    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.

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.
    Locale
    public Locale(String language,
    String country)Construct a locale from language, country. 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:

    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())
    See Also:
    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.

    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.

  • How to set up iTunes with an external hard drive so that there is not a double location for the iTunes Media folder

    Hi,
    A very helpful postee got to the end of his knowledge level, so I am posting this for you tech guys to sort out. Bit long because I've tried to set it out step by step. Briefly I'm new to iTunes and my laptop has a very small hard drive and is virtually full and due to be replaced. So I want to use an external hard drive.
    Now I know that iTunes installs itself to two locations: 1. Programs Files 2. Music. And its the Music location that bothers me.
    I asked about using an external hard disk to store the actual AAC files. I was advised that in order to change the loaction of the iTunes media folder I was should employ preferences/advanced/ and this is what i saw (as you would expect):
    Then I hooked up my hard drive, hit 'change', and this is what I saw:
    I was a bit worried by the lack of pathway details, but assumed it must have done something on the external drive, so I looked on  it and this is what i saw (highlighted):
    But compare this with what was in the directory I attempted to reproduce, viz in the iTunes folder in /laptop/Music/iTunes:
    A ton of stuff. The only stuff that corresponded with what iTunes had created on my external hard drive was in Music/iTunes/iTunes Media folder:
    Now this suggests that there are TWO locations for my preferences. The advanced tab only allowed me to ADD an extra location, not REPLACE the original.
    So:
    1. Which of the two locations will iTunes choose when I add music? Surely it will go with the original pathway laid down in the directory when iTunes was installed, and ignore my external Hard Drive? I mean, how can there be two automatic locations?!!!
    2.. I don't mind itunes library being on my laptop as this is just a list, but it obvoiusly has to have a pathway to the site where the actual AAC files are stored.
         so surely it won't work unless the whole lot is on the external hard drive: library, extras, genius, the lot?
    4. How then do I get it all on the external since merely changing "preferences" doesn't do the job?
    5. Is this perhaps the reason why so many people report that iTunes does not recognize their external hard disk:
    http://www.ehow.com/info_12199596_external-hard-drive-not-recognized-itun es.html
    I just don't want this to happen to me. Any answers?

    As I've replied to your other threads...
    Easy method 1:
    Move or Copy entire working library from current location to the root of your external drive. Press & hold down shift (option on a Mac) as you click the icon to start iTunes. Click Choose when prompted, then browse to ..\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl on the external. If you copied the library across then test your new library works properly after renaming the original folder, before deleting the original folder to recover space.
    Easy method 2:
    If you haven't really started to build your library. Press & hold down shift as you click the icon to start iTunes. Click Create. Browse to the root of the external drive. Create the library as ITunes. Drag your media into ..\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes.
    Complex method:
    Required if you've already tried other things and now have media & library scattered around. See the post make a split library portable.
    in addition...
    In all cases the idea is to get a library folder called iTunes containing a media folder called iTunes Media with all media inside this media folder. Once you have the library in this shape it is easy to reconnect to the library with the shift-start-iTunes method if the drive letter changes, move the library to another computer, and backup the library by cloning the folder to another drive.

  • How do I change the language setting in itunes

    I'm sure this is a very basic question but I just can't seem to find anywhere to change the language setting. I live in Japan but would rather use itunes in English as I've twice now deleted my entire phone book on my iphone and had to go to an old backup. I suppose I should just have my girlfriend keep setting it up like the first time but I thought the whole point of apple crap is that even a nitwit newbie like me should be able to figure out how to use it.
    wondering if I should have just stayed with good old Japanese cel phones...
    gartheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    that was indeed astoundingly easy. Well one less excuse next time I delete my phone book...
    thanks very much!

    I set my iPhoto to save photos to a non-default location.  Now I can't find my iPhoto albums in iTunes, even when looking in my non-default location in the "Sync Photos from" menu.  How do I fix this?

    When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:
    Click to view full size
    All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

  • Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

    I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
    By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Scott

  • Setting english as the default language for a new document with arabic version of CC apps

    first off, appologies for the screen name, the name i'm sure i had registered before with account was suppose dot be looged in as was barred, so i used this in frustration.  Read the book, The Etymologicon to learn more.
    and another note.  why is the font size in the subject on this form gigantic? intentional of cockup?
    Now, to the point.
    Please please enlighten me, I'm sure it's simple but i can't find the answer and have been haphazardly ploughing the net for half the night.
    I have installed the Arabic langauge version of CC software becuase i need to do a lot of bilingual layouts.
    But
    I generally use, and start with english, but the defualt new document is always set to all the arabic settings, which is a nightmare.
    How do i make english the defualt type (and all the paragraph and language options) while retaining the functionaility of arabic version. 
    I've found instructions for CS2-6 but nothing remotely sensible about CC, and presume i'm missing something really really obvious.

  • Installing Adobe Reader under Windows 8.1 for its language really to be set "same as the operating system"

         How can I install Adobe Reader 11.0.10 in both German and English in order to choose the language as per the Windows 8.1 language?  I already have Reader 11.0.10 installed with the language set to "same as the operating system", but only English is chosen.  How can I add French or another language to Adobe Reader later (if I in the future decide to add to Windows 8.1 support for more than German and English)?  Can I avoid deinstalling my current Reader software?  Can I keep Reader at 11.0.10 or must I install a lower level in order to obtain support for both German and English?

    Yes, you need to uninstall the single-language Reader version before installing the MUI version.
    Also, the MUI installer is 11.0.0, so you will need to update it to the current version.
    If you download the updates manually (from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows), make sure you download the updates for MUI.
