Hi Erik,

 

Getting the right regional locale can be frustrating because there are a number of mechanisms which come into effect so isolation won't help you here at all.

 

The first is obviously the registry settings under HKCU\Control Panel\International, but these are ignored by default on TS/Citrix and are overridden by a server mechanism that looks at the TS client regional keyboard and uses that to set the session regional locale.

 

This has been a continuing source of frustration for admins in non-US countries that use  a default A4 page size because if you're using a US English keyboard, it'll set your sessional regional locale to match the keyboard locale. The good news is this can be turned off with a reg hack or the following policy snippet:

 

    POLICY "Ignore Remote Client Keyboard Locale"
    KEYNAME "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout" 
        PART "Set Server to disregard client keyboard locale" CHECKBOX 
        VALUENAME "IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout"
            VALUEON NUMERIC 1
            VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0      
        END PART
    END POLICY ; keyboard locale

 

However in your case there is a public domain utility called setlocale.exe that should let you set the locale to the one you want for the application by running it in the application initialization script. eg

 

With SetLocale you can preset a user's international settings. SetLocale is
designed for loginscripts, but might be used via the commandprompt or
shortcuts.

A keyboard layout name should be derived from the hexadecimal value of the
Language# identifier corresponding to the layout. For example, U.S. English
has a language identifier of 00000409, so the primary U.S. English layout is
named "00000409". Variants of U.S. English layout, such as the Dvorak layout,
are named "00010409," "00020409" and so on. You can manualy select a
different keyboard-layout through Settings | International, and read the
corresponding keyboard-layout-id in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes

Example:

  SetLocale 00000413 00020409

  This will set Dutch language using US international keyboard.

Hi all,

We have an application that requires specific regional settings for it
in order to run. We would like to integrate this app into our published
desktop (whose regional settings are different) and tried using
application streaming to do this, but so far without success. The
application always seems to use the regional settings configured in the
users' profile, and not the settings configured in the application
isolation environment.

We tried modifying the streamed application with a pre-launch script
that 'regedits' the needed values in HKCU\Control Panel\International.
These values are indeed written to HKCU\Software\Citrix\RadeCache - what
I presume is the isolation environment in the registry. However, they do
not seem to be used.

Then we modified the streamed applications' AIE rules to make sure that
they really isolate HKCU\Control Panel\International. Still no luck...

Can anybody shed any light on this?

Thanks,

Erik
