Hello list, I am using 9.2.0.1.0 enterprise edition on windows. Earlier when I use to specify nls_lang=French_France.US7ASCII in 9i release 1
I would get the following messages in French

c:> sqlplus
Entrez le nom utilisateur :

But now when I specify nls_lang=French_France.US7ASCII , sqlplus sticks to english
c:> sqlplus
Enter user-name:

Any ideas ?

I tried out the following but to no avail : 1. I specified ora_nls33 to point to
D:\OracleXP\Ora92\ocommon\nls\ADMIN\DATA where D:\OracleXP\Ora92\ is my %oracle_home%

2. I set nls_lang=French_France.US7ASCII , log in as a user, checked NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS. It shows that NLS_LANGUAGE is FRENCH and NLS_TERRITORY is FRANCE. When I select from a column containing dates , the months are in French. sysdate also gives the month in french

3. Same behaviour with nls_lang=French_France.WE8MSWIN1252 and nls_lang=nls_lang=French_France.UTF8 (although this is an incorrect specification since there are no utf8 windows clients )

4. Similarly when I specify nls_lang=ENGLISH_INDIA.WE8MSWIN1252 my queries pick up the correct local currency symbol. and nls_language and nls_territory values in nls_session_parameters are correct.

5. Alert log doesn't show any errors.

My database character set is AL32UTF8 , did not specify an nchar characterset while creating the database.
