Author: jacopoc Date: Wed Oct 4 01:29:02 2006 New Revision: 452792 URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=452792 Log: In the attached patch there is a very simple way to fix the old and known bug that makes impossible to display the English labels when OFBiz is run in an operating system with a system language (different from English) that is available in the OFBiz ui lables property files. The bug is caused by the way the Java localization routines search for localized files and by the fact that in OFBiz we don't maintain the en_EN files, because the labels are in the default properties files (without locale extension).
The proposed solution (as also suggested by Jacques LeRoux) is to use the -Duser.language=en parameter when invoking the java command (in the OFBiz startup files): in this way the default system locale will be the English one, and everything will work as expected.
