Hello,
With Forms 6i (C/S version) you set the local settings in the Windows Registry.
You can also force these settings in a PRE-FORM trigger:
Forms_ddl('ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE= ''AMERICAN'' NLS_TERRITORY= ''AMERICA'' NLS_CURRENCY= ''$'' NLS_ISO_CURRENCY= ''AMERICA'' NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS= ''.,'' NLS_CALENDAR= ''GREGORIAN'' NLS_DATE_FORMAT= ''DD-MON-RR'' NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE= ''AMERICAN'' NLS_SORT= ''BINARY''');Francois

System ignores locale/language setting [solved?]

Hi
I updated my system a few days ago and since then all gtk2/3 applications ignores language settings. I have set correct locale in /etc/locale.conf, /etc/locale.gen (I haven't changed it since installation), locale command also returns correct values. Even if I force locale from command line (by changing LANG or LC_ALL), apps are still in english.
When the problem appears I had Cinnamon desktop, but i tried also Gnome and Kde - same effect (in Kde problem affects gtk apps), I also tried to change login manager (lxdm, lightdm, gdm, kdm), also without positive result. Clearing user config also doesn't help. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: It seems whole system ignores locale (in kde I just can manually select custom locale and then it works in kde/qt apps), including console apps (I just didn't notice that before). Strange thing is that Thunderbird has also correct language settings although it is not kde/qt app (in contrast to e.g firefox, which even ignores general.useragent.locale variable).

ABAP SET LOCAL LANGUAGE doesn't work

Hello Community,
actually i try to work in a ABAP report with the SET LOCAL LANGUAGE
statement to change the text environment on the fly to an other
language. In the debugger i can see that the SY-LANGU is changed to the
correct country but the messages are in the wrong language...
i also set the profile parameter install/collate/active = 1
I created a small testprogramm:
REPORT Z_STEFAN_TEST_002 MESSAGE-ID sabapdocu.
SET COUNTRY 'US'.
SET LANGUAGE 'EN'.
SET LOCALE LANGUAGE 'E'.
MESSAGE i014.
When i logon with language DE and start the programm, the messages are
also in DE and not in EN.
So can you help me to find a solution?
best regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
with set locale/language you can set only language environment for text-elements, headers etc...
I don't know about similar simple solution for messages, but you can load message directly from database table ...
DATA: l_text TYPE natxt.
SELECT SINGLE text FROM t100
INTO l_text
WHERE sprsl = 'E' AND
arbgb = 'SABAPDOCU' AND
msgnr = '014'.
MESSAGE l_text TYPE 'I'.

WDDOINIT - SET LOCAL LANGUAGE out of parameter

Hello,
What I want to do is set the local language with an URL param.
I tried two way which ended in a dead end.
1. Read the param in the default handler:
- In the Default handler it is possible to read params out of the URL
- But it seams that it is to late to set the language with SET LOCALE LANGUAGE at this time
2. Set Param in mehod WDDOINIT
- When I set the language hardcoded in this method all works fine (textalias from otr will be displayed in correct language)
- Bu it seams that there is no possibility to read the param in this method
Does anybody have an idea how can I solve this Problem?
Thanks

Hm, it depends when you instantiate the corresponding texts in your Webdynpro Component.
The "default handler" is the "HANDLEDEFAULT" method of the Window?
This is called very late in the instantiation of the Component. The default texts should be read at this time.
It may be a solution to build a WebDynpro-Component as framework that instantiates the needed Component after the Inbound is handled.
(You can do this by defining your WDC as usage in the framework WDC.)
Then you change the language by the imported URL-parameter in the frameworks-Inbound handler method.
Then instantiate the embedded WDC (the one containing your application logic).
This should then use your newly set language settings.

No English language setting with European date formatting available

The English language setting in my iPod bought in Finland forces date format to the American MM/DD/YYYY style. There is no English language setting that would result in the European DD.MM.YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY format.
Either making date formatting separately configurable (as time formatting already is), or adding another English locale with European-style date formatting solves this problem.

Yes I agree, date format should be language independant. This is very annoying!

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
-Chakri..

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.

Some Hardware inventory values get translated/localized to local language of the workstation

Hi all,
I am doing hardware inventory in SCCM 2012 R2, I have included the OSArchitecture (actually displayed as "OS Architecture") property for the "Operating System" class (the Win32_OperatingSystem WMI class actually). The data gather correctly
- from Windows 6.x+ while there is nothing from Windows XP/2003, which is correct according to documentation of the WMI class. That is OK. So inventory works fine.
My problem is different - for some workstations, the value is localized. Normally, there should be just "64-bit" or "32-bit", but on some of my Czech workstations, the value is "64bitovy" or "32bitovy". This indicates
the WMI values are obtained as localized.
Though, if I try to query WMI on the problematic workstation from PowerShell, the value is in English, so the WMI can produce the English value as well, if necessary.
How can I switch SCCM Hardware Inventory to gather non-localized WMI values from all workstations?
thank you!

hello, yes, the caption is also localized.
it appears like the Display Language of the Operating System account makes the difference. If I install English language pack for OS (not SCCM client) on the client machine and switch the Display Language for the operating system profile, the hardware
inventory changes to display English 64-bit value.
It works exactly the same when querying Win32_OperatingSystem from PowerShell. If the user has his display language set as Czech, powershell returns value of "64bitovy", if the user changes his display language to English, PowerShell displays the value
as "64-bit".
So as the SCCM client runs under System account, it just queries Win32_OperatingSystem and returns what it gets to SCCM server.
One solution would be to change system display langauge to English on all workstations, but this seems like impossible.
Isn't there a method by which I would make all my SCCM clients query in English locale instead?

Dynamic browser language setting

Hi,
I need some information on internationalization.
Let me explain the issue..
In my application I need both English and Arabic views. It is possible to Change the language through internationalization.
But one more issue is there for Arabic language. I hope u all know that Arabic letters are from right to left. So I have to change the Browser Language settings also to Arabic..
But in my application it should be handled by an event. If u click Arabic button, you should get Arabic browsers and if English you should get English Browsers.
Can anyone help me on this dynamic browser language setting?
Thanks

Language Setting for - Hyperion Smart View for Office

Hi,
Here's a scenario I need to find an answer to.
1. We have Essbase system 9 installed on a machine named: USESSSRVR and here the ESSLANG environment variable is set to "English_UnitedStates.US-ASCII@Binary".
2. We build two Unicode cubes, one for Korea Sales called APPKR.SALESCUB & other for Turkey Sales called APPTR.SALESCUB
3. Korean users are sitting in Korea & Turkey users are in Turkey & both these users need to see data in their local languages.
4. Since Essbase Excel Add-In is not compatible with Unicode cubes, we have asked them to use "Hyperion Smart View for Office".
Now question is,
-> Where in this entire system do I need to do Language Settings so that they see their characters correctly?
-> Is there a place in Smart View where you can set languages?
-> Also we have a limitation that we need to have both the applications APPKR & APPTR on the same Essbase server which is in US.
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks.
~Jaymin Darbari.

It's actually because you are installing over an old version. Uninstall SV, review the registry entries and directories and then reinstall with admin priv.
Of course when I looked it up on support the Oracle ID 1466433.1 suggests that the .net install is corrupt so was i going mad? Not beyond reasonable doubt since I put in an SR a while back about it so I have proof that it is listed as an " "internal bug #14149839 : "SMART VIEW EXTENSION ACTIVATOR OBJECT (-2147467262) This is reported for excel 2010" has been raised with development team. As per the update from the bug this issue has been addressed in patch 11.1.2.2.310 which is yet to be released."
So if you are on an earlier version of Office possibly is because of the .net install (which I think needs v3.5, at least for Office2003), but I would try do a clean install first.

Jolt STRING local character set

Our application sends data containing non-latin characters in FML32 STRING fields. What I found in documentation is:
For localization, the Jolt Class Library package relies on the conventions of the Java language and the Oracle Tuxedo system. Jolt transfers Java 16-bit Unicode characters to the JSH. The JSH provides a mechanism to convert Unicode to the local character set.
So how does JSH know the "local character set"?

tutti_frutti:
You may want to use the following:
String input = textfield.getText();
int len = 0;
char curr_char;
if(input != null) {
    len = input.length();
    for( int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        curr_char = input.charAt(i);
        if(Character.UnicodeBlock.of(curr_char) == Character.UnicodeBlock.ARABIC) {
            // Do something
        else if(Character.UnicodeBlock.of(curr_char) == Character.UnicodeBlock.BASIC_LATIN) {
            // Do some other thing
}

Errorlog filling with changed language setting and changed database context messages

On one of my servers, the ERRORLOG is filling with messages for "Changed language setting to..." and "Changed database context..." for every single connection. They are generated for any kind of connection--such as Management Studio.

How can I change hour local language to AM or PM only?

I set Locale to th_TH and I use SimpleDataFormat class like this 'yyyymmdd hh a' then field 'a' return local language but I want to return AM or PM only.
I know that it can set new value in i18n.jar (LocalElement_th.class) but I don't want to recompile i18n.jar.How can I solve it.?
thank you

Hi,
I never used this class but try to set a different locale for the object of this class (eg. in the constructor). Or does this affect the time, too?
Or use a specific DateFormatSymbols object!?

Diffrent language set on Public Conn when launching Viewer

Hi !
I'm launching Discoverer Viewer through Discoverer portlet using public connection.
When i created the connection i set the Locale to use other language than English but when i access the Viewer it takes the default language - English.
I made another test where i try to connect directly through Discoverer Viewer page, i set the same locale language and it worked ok.
On the client machine i set the regional settings, i added the language to the browser but no success.
Does somebody have any idea how i can make this working ?
Thank you,
Dani

HI
It seems that is a bug; this i found on metalink
"Bug reproduced. It looks like we do not use the language set in the public (or sso private) connection, but use the language from the publisher.
Currently the provider supports only 1 language in which
portlets were published. "
In this case i have to wait for another patch/version.
Regards,
Dani
