Set the default language and other preferences

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS1b49059a33f7772672b3318712c5ece24f8-8000.h tml

It is in the help, the issue is with finding it!
Click Help > Contents & Index.
When the help opens enter Default Language. The important bit is to tick This Reference Only so that you stay in the help. That tells you how to set the default language but not how to get to the screen where you do that. To get to that you need to go up a level, use the breadcrumbs.
I realise it's too late for what you wanted but it may help knowing how to get another answer in the future.

Does anyone know how to change where incoming (via mail) calendar requests go on my MacBook? Mine insist on going to Entourage, which I don't use any more. I've tried setting the default calendar in iCal preferences. Doesn't help. Bugs me. Can you help?

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

To set the Default Language

How to set the default language to any other language other than English.
Say for example Chinese.

If you want change the language for the session:
alter session set nls_language = "SIMPLIFIED CHINESE"
alter session set nls_language = "TRADITIONAL CHINESE"
if you want modify the language from DDBB

Updates to the Oracle Language and Territory Definition Files
Changes have been made to the content in some of the language and territory definition files in Oracle Database 10g. These updates are necessary to correct the legacy definitions which no longer meet the local conventions in some of the Oracle supported languages and territories. These changes include modifications to the currency symbols, month names, and group separators. One example is the local currency symbol for Brazil. This has been updated from Cr$ to R$ in Oracle Database 10g.
Please refer to the "Oracle Language and Territory definition changes" table documented in the $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/old/data_changes.html file for a detailed list of the changes.
Oracle Database 10g customers should review their existing application code to make sure that the correct cultural conventions that are defined in Oracle Database 10g are being used. For customers who may not be able to make the necessary code changes to support their applications, Oracle offers Oracle9i locale definition files with Oracle Database 10g.
To revert back to the Oracle9i language and territory behavior, perform the following:
Shutdown the database.
Run the script cr9idata.pl from the $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/old directory.
Set the ORA_NLS10 environment variable to the newly created $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/9idata directory.
Restart the database.
Steps 2 and 3 will need to be repeated for all 10g database clients that need to revert back to the Oracle9i definition files.
Oracle Corporation strongly recommends that customers use the Oracle Database 10g locale definition files; Oracle9i locale definition files will be desupported in a future release.

How to set the default language in preferences- dictionary- language

Hi guys,
i like to set the default dictionary language as well as the lookup path of the dictionary via script. I've found the property dictionary path as well as some settings for qoutation under languages with vendors:
app.languagesWithVendors[INDEX OF LANGUAGE].name
app.languagesWithVendors[INDEX OF LANGUAGE].dictionaryPaths
Thats fine, but how can it set a certain language with vendor as the default language for the application itself? Under the Preferences->Dictionary dialog, I can find a dropdown showing the default language. But how can I access this default or set it?
The application object has a property object called dictionaryPreferences, but this object only contains some flags like the merge behaviour but not the default language itself. So where is it?
app.dictionaryPreferences.mergeUserDictionary
Menue
Dialog
API

Ok guys,
in the meantime I think I got it. I can setup several dictionaries for several languages. Depending on the language I use in my paragraph styles the according dictionary will be used. Fine for the desktop.
But what about the InDesign Server! I use the server via scripting and SOAP ports, webservice calls. I've launched several webservice ports, like 10001,10002,10003,10004. In this case, I can set up a vendor dictionary by providing a path via script send to one port 10001 for example. But here are two problems:
1. The other InDesign Server instances aka webservice ports and engines won't get informed about the change. I have to run the script on all instances.
2. The change only lives as long as the instance is running but doesn't get saved. After restart the instance, the setup got lost.
So can I save the dictionary-setup with an pref-xml file, all InDesign Server instances would use and read per default?

How to set the default language for JRE?

I appreciate the fact that JRE is intelligent enough to select language according to my system default codepage, which is 936 (Simplified Chinese). However, i don't find any option in java control panel or java.exe command line switch to change the codepage for Java back to 437 (which is the default codepage for US english). Is there any way to make the change?

Thanks, finally i have a way to eliminate Chinese characters in console output. But I'd like to go one step further. Is there any way to permanently set the default encoding for JRE? I don't like the idea of having to add -Dfile.encoding every time i run a java program.

Hi jvm2221,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing, and/or how you are currently crating your reminders. If you are having issues creating reminders that have the correct date, you may want to make sure you are following the steps outlined in the following article:

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.

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.

Why when I set up my Country or Region on my iPhone 5, the default language of the phone is the country's and not the one I selected when I set up my preferred language?

Go to Settings/General/Reset and choose Reset All Content and Settings. This will erase everything on the iPhone and allow you to set it up again as new with the proper Apple ID.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla

On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.5; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Thanks for the suggestion.
A few weeks ago I downloaded some free software from the "tucows.com" website, it appears to have permanently hijacked my web browsers (both firefox and IE) so all searches go to their "searchqu" site, and new tabs open at that site. I was unable to repair this with the addins you suggested or by editing my user preferences files, and ended up having to reinstall firefox. Hopefully I won't run into the tucows rootkit ;)
But thanks anyway.

Set the default spellcheck language to English (Australian)

When I start the browser, the spell check dictionary is always English (US)
I have to change it manually every time after opening the browser.
In the preferences for Display Language, I have [en-au], then [en]
Has been this way for many versions - currently 34
Happens on 5 systems here
Is there a way to set the default spellcheck to Australian?
Regards,
Mike

Current Firefox versions use the "lang" attribute in the HTML tag to automatically select a dictionary if you have one for the specified language, so with an en-US link this would be the en-US dictionary for this forum.
<pre><nowiki><html class="no-js" lang="en-US" dir="ltr"></nowiki></pre>
I'm not sure if you can override this easily, but I would assume that this should have effect on prefs.
You can use the user.js file to force a specific value for the spellchecker.dictionary pref.

How can we set the Default to "New Window" for the "Create Link" – "Specify Open Preference"?

We would like to set the "New Window" as default but can't find where to set it.. I looked through all the Perferences and could not find where this is set.
We see this when creating Links.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. We are using Acrobat Pro 10.1.3 on Windows 7 64 bit workstation.
We see this when adding a link in a PDF.
Go to Tools, Content, Link. Highlight something, Creat Link, click Next. Pick somthing to Link too. Like another PDF and the Window in the first screen shot comes up.
I ran a Regshot and here are the results. Looks like all user keys which would be normal but there must be a way to set the default in the Preferences? This does not seem to be a setting that stays if you will so there must be something over-riding it.
