Description
Description:
By default the Spotfire Analyst client will pick up the language within the Windows “Region and Language” setting. This will allow the Spotfire Analyst client to sort data using the alphabet for the language selected. Unfortunately, this is not the case for the Spotfire Web Player. A regional language is sorted correctly with the Spotfire Analyst client, but not with the Spotfire Web Player. See the attached (Filename: example.jpg) for an example in Japanese. The Spotfire Web Player does not use the Windows “Region and Language” setting. By default it will use UTF-8 character coding, so the sort order may be incorrect.
