EQ2Players not supported non-US locales

[Jack Orb]

<p>I (and at least one other person I know) have been having problems with the output from the eq2players web site. Instead of classes, professions and other strings you get missing text, gibberish or variable names like $player.className(24). I found, however that when I access this site through a remote environment at my company I found that it displayed correctly. I played with a few of the settings and found that the problem is caused by the browser locale (specifically the accept-languages http header that your browser sends to every web server to tell it in what language you would prefer your pages).</p><p>When this locale is set to en-GB (and maybe others), the eq2players site doesn't know how to output some text correctly but when set as en-US it works fine (apparently Sony's servers only speak American English).</p><p>Until SOE fix this there are a couple of solutions depending on which browser you use...</p><p>For Firefox and other Mozilla-based browsers, the Quick Locale Switcher extension will do the trick. By default this will want to restart the browser when you change locale but if you change the options just to modify the accept-languages header then it will not.</p><p>For a solution that covers Internet Explorer but also changes the language of you whole system, open the Control Panel, go to Regional and Language Options and set the language to English (United States). This can be changed back to your preferred settings later.</p>
