Setting default language in Pages '09

Is there a way of setting the default language in Pages '09?
Each time I want to begin a new document that is not from my templates, I have to change the language to Australian English. With MS Word it was not a problem to change the default language.
I read in another post to change the settings in the international pane of the system preferences. My iMac no longer has that option.
Thanks for your assistance.

I read in another post to change the settings in the international pane of the system preferences. My iMac no longer has that option.
10.6 just changed the name from "international" to "language & text". Go to system prefs/language & text/languages and move Australian English to the top of the list. Also in system prefs/language & text/text/spelling set it to Austrialian English.

Setting default language in Pages

Hi all,
I have just dumped my PC and changed over to an iMac. I'm very impressed so far, however have one query that I wonder if anyone has a quick answer .
I have worked out how to change my language settings to Australian English in the inspector, but how does one set it to become the default?
Thanks

Go to system preferences/international/languages and move Australian English to the top of the list. Use the Edit button to add it to the list if necessary.

How to set default language for Portal?

Hi All,
We use EP6.
Default language is not defined and therefore is being set by the browser's language.
Where do I set default language for all users?
(I don't want that the users will be able to change it by themselves by browser/EU role).
I tried to set the "request.mandatorylanguage" and
"request.mandatorycountry" in prtDefault.properties but it didn't help.
Thanks,
Omri

Hi Omri,
are those to parameters
request.defaultlanguage=...
request.defaultcountry=...
set in the prtDefault.properties, and the J2EE Server restarted after the change?
Check out this thread and the link given there for more info: HOW to define the default language in the portal
Hope this helps,

Setting default language in BP form

Dear all,
I created a new empty Switzerland SAP B1 company (SAP 8.81 PL 06).
Adding a new BP, I see that the default language is German.
Is it possible to change the default language proposed by SAP B1?
Regards
Emanuele

Dear Gordon,
probably I don't explain well my problem.
I don't need to change the language of all the labels and texts of SAP B1 client interface.
When I open the BP form in add mode, I need to see the Italian language as default language in the "Language" combobox in the General tab.
If I set Italian in the Administration > System Initialization > General Settings > Display tab.
however the German language is proposed in the combobox of BP's General tab.
Every time our customer has to change the language to Italian, manually.
Regards
Emanuele

Use GPO to set default language options, IME, display settings?

new to GPO, we have a small Windows Server 2012 domain, all clients on Win7 or Win8. All the clients require the following changes, anything I can automate this with GPO? thanks
Under Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region\Language > Add Traditional Chinese HK SAR
Under Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region\Language > Traditional Chinese HK SAR > Options, Add Microsoft Quick IME
Under Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region\Language\Advanced settings - change language bar hot keys
- CTRL+SHIFT+0 ------ To English (United States) - US
- CTRL+SHIFT+0 ------ To Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) - Microsoft Quick IME
Under Control Panel > Region > Advimistrative > Change System Locale... change to Chinese HK SAR for non-unicode programs
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display > Change the size of all items, use custom 123%.
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display > Update Text size to 8 for Title bars, Menu, Message Boxes, Icons, Tooltips
I found this for the display scaling registry changes but it is for 125% and it uses 78 for the dword value, not sure about custom 123%.

Hi lilyl,
According to your description, you would like to deploy some settings about language and display via GPO.
According to my knowledge, the steps you provided are from Windows 8 clients. Based on my test, you can use the following methods to realize:
Add Traditional Chinese HK SAR. Locate the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload, and then add a String Value "next number"(which has not been used)=00000404.
The region settings. Please refer to the similar post:

The display settings. The post you provided tells us the related registry keys, and you should try to find the right value since you want to custom it.
In addtion, please refer to the following article to learn to deploy a registry item:

Set default language of SpellChecker Add-on IE11 to Dutch

Hello,
Is it possible to set the default language of the spellchecker add-on in Internet Explorer 11 to Dutch with a GPO or registry key?
We use a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. Default is the language set to English, but our Dutch users do not like it ;)
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/608446
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
Walter Markus

I've found a solution;
Open the Group Policy Management and browse to the policy you want to edit
Go to User Configuration - Preferences - Windows Settings - Registery
Create a new key:
Action: Update
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Value name: DefSpelLang
Value type: REG_Multi_Sz
Value data: nl-NL (language of choice)

Set Default BookMarks & Home Page

I am using CentOS-6.4 and FireFox 24.
Upon setup of a PC, I'd like to run a command line script which sets default bookmarks and a default home page for all current and future users. There may or may not be an existing profile when the script is run. Is this possible?

You can initialize the bookmarks via a bookmarks.html file placed in defaults\profile (needs to be created), but AFAIK then there is no way to merge new bookmarks with existing bookmarks via the command line or otherwise apart from importing an HTML file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks ).

How to set default language for typing english if my OS language is russian?

Hi. I cant figure out how to set english as default typing language. Opening Skype, new browser window, vpn client, switches my input to russian (my os language). Especially this annoys if im trying to enter login and password.

oleg.lestat wrote:But still when i setting cursor in Google Chrome addrese bar, or my vpn client password field it switches to russian
Changeing language (e.g. to have english menues or keybord layout) on a system, took place in applications too only if the application supports that language, or uses by default the system librarys to adopt the language settings.
Not all applications use automatically the system librarys of your Mac for language settings or spell checking. Most will do so, some only during installation, some never.
Applications can have own language settings others have only the installation language available.
Have you checked this on Chrome (Wrench -> Options -> Advanced -> Change Fonts and language settings -> Language -> Google Chrome language) and your VPN Client?

because My requirement it to see this on Spanish , but when i deploy my application on Bea Weblogic StandAlone the "Match All Any" its on
english how can i change it into spanish?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

You might edit the file: C:\...\user_projects\domains\...\bin\setDomainEnv.cmd
of the standalone server to add something like that:
@REM Added on 11.3.2011 -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US
set JAVA_PROPERTIES=-Dplatform.home=%WL_HOME% -Dwls.home=%WLS_HOME% -Dweblogic.home=%WLS_HOME% -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US
where you must substitute the right strings for Spanish, instead of en and US.
Could it work?

Batch process for setting document (language) and page (structure) properties

I'm looking for a batch process or script that will take a folder of PDFs and add some basic properties required by Section 508 (for accessibility) automagically--such as Document Properties where language=EnglishUS, and Page Properties Tab Order=Use Document Structure.
I'm not a programmer so any help is very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Set default language fron en to it

Hi All,
we need to change the default portal language from english to italian.
I had a look in the following folder :
\usr\sap\<system_id>\j2ee\j2ee_<instance_number>\cluster\server\services
\servlet_jsp\work\jspTemp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\system\properties
I changed the following property in both the rtCentral.properties.bak and prtDefault.properties.
request.mandatorylanguage=<it>
request.mandatorycountry=<it>
And i have removed the .bak at the end of the central properties and restarted the portal.
Now we have the portal completly in italian language but the KM
subscription notification are still in english for users with default.
Instead the users who have English language have a mixed situation with
English portal welcome and PCD object in Italian language..
Maybe we are missing some configurations..
Regards,
TC.

Hi.
There could be two reasons why KM subscription notification is displayed in English:
1. a resource bundle file for Italian language for the KM subscription notification is missed, corrupted or not available at all.
2. unlikely, but KM subscription notification is forced to use English.
Read the section Lookup of Resource Bundle from [Running an Enterprise Portal II|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4d46fb8a-0b01-0010-9fbe-e4b96533b222]
for more information about priorities of the language settings.
I think in your scenario with multilingual user environment to use Italian as mandatory language is not the best solution, because it leaves English users without choice.
I suggest to use the combination of the properties request.defaultlanguage=<it> and request.defaultcountry=<it> with the user predefined browser language settings.
Best regards,
Aliaksandr Zhukau

How can I set a permanent default language for Firefox's spellcheck feature, so that I don't have to keep manually selecting the spellcheck language I want?

I have a few languages installed, and Firefox's spellcheck seems to decide which language to use ''at random''. So I have to keep manually selecting the language I want. 99% of the time I want English. So how can I set English as a permanent default language, and leave the manual selection for those infrequent occasions when I want another language spellchecked?

Firefox should store the last used dictionary in the spellchecker.dictionary pref that you can check on the about:config page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

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.
