[giaperrucci]

Hi,
I am new in widsets development. I have installed the SDK and when I run the emulator, I would like to change the language to english.
How can I do it?
Thanks in advance

Hope you have installed S60 3rd ed FP 2 Emulator (?) From your PC > Start > Programs > S60 Developer tools > 3rd ed FP2 SDK > Beta > Languages > "Change to English"

If that does not do the job, Start the Emulator > Menu > Settings > General > Personalisation > Language.

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply.
I am talking about Widsets development kit (devkit SDK).
Does your answer apply to it as well?
Thanks

Hi giaperruci,

if you use Windows, then just go to Control Panel -> Regional settings and change the language on the first tab (Standards and number formats). Then restart emulator and it will hopefully show your selected language.
Now you may also need to switch system widgets to the new language (provided they support it). The quickest way would probably be going to your user profile directory (something like C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>, usually stored in %USERPROFILE%). There should exist a subdirectory called .widsets\default\WidSets. Stop emulator and delete files client.0.data and client.0.index from this directory. Done
I don't know if this is the correct way of switching languages, but it worked for me. Maybe guys from Nokia will tell us how to do it "the right way".

Hope it helps!

Emulator uses Java Locale to figure out the language. You can change devkit or devkit.bat batch file to start emulator with different locale:

@java -Duser.language=en -cp sites -jar bin\devkit.jar %*

Starts emulator with English language.
