The latest version of EAGLE, version 5.10.0, includes a new interface called DesignLink and additional language support for Mandarin and Hungarian

DesignLink is a powerful interface that allows design engineers to access part pricing, availability, datasheets, images, and much more. The DesignLink user language program (ULP) allows online access to component attribute data, price, availability and datasheets without exiting EAGLE. ULPs can import data for customized attributes into EAGLE libraries, access and store the current price and availability of components for a schematic circuit, or update previously existing designs.

DesignLink registration is free of charge at http://www.element-14.com/DesignLink. When “run designlink” is entered from an open design file in EAGLE, a ULP will execute to demonstrate the new user language functions added to EAGLE. The ULP will also provide a link to DesignLink credentials for free registration.

In version 5.10.0, the Chinese version of the software will now automatically install mandarin versions of the manual as well as a tutorial where it is the default language. Additionally, Mandarin and Hungarian menus are available.

I managed to get in there by changing the following lines in the ulp

string Language = language();
string Country = country();

into:

string Language = "en";
string Country = "GB";
string Language = "en";
string Country = "GB";

Without having to reset my location settings. (en_BE)

Obviously, I didn't come up with this myself, my IT-brother did.

I don't really understand:
Does the Uk server require you to login with the en_GB locale settings to work?
Or am I supposed to be able to log in with other settings?
Prices are in £ now

Hope this creates no other problems?

kind regards,
arno

I'm also getting the "299 Error downloading https://uk.farnell.com/pffind/services/SearchService"

Running eagle 5.10 light (for now) on mac osx 10.6.4 (intel machine)

I'm having a hard time making sense out of the above comments...
Am I supposed to be able to set the LANG parameter in the terminal?

How do you register? Only thing I found here http://www.element-14.com/community/docs/DOC-13188 is the "CadSoft2" username

Thanks!

Arno

Jonathan: I can see that you are using gentoo. /etc/locale.gen is only used when emerging glibc. It tells the ebuild which locals glibc should have support for (all other locales attempted to use will fail back to internal "C").

You can do

echo $LANG

in a xterm / gnome-terminal / kterm in order to find your current locale.

Richard,

I'm located in the US.

My /etc/locale.gen has these in it:
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

~ # date
Thu Jul 29 11:36:34 EST 2010

which is correct, as far as i know. Is there a way to get more verbose debug output from this script, or is this more on the server side of things?

Jonathan

It was unset on my Windows XP installation. Setting it to en_GB in a shell and running eagle there works. I guess "" and "C" should be added as an alias for en_GB in eagle and/or DesignLink

Stian,

what is the setting for your LANG variable? It should be en_NO, for example. Please check it in the Windows control Panel, System settings. Or use SET in a command box.

Regards,
Richard

Jonathan,

could you please check the time setting of your computer? I suppose it is not correct. Where are you located and what is the locale setting of your computer?

I'm getting a similar message with Eagle 5.10.0 Linux Light. Instead of "Invalid Locale", I'm getting "Invalid Timestamp". I'm using my credentials for element-14.com. I'm guessing this has nothing to do with languages, but it is the only place I've been able to find a similar error.
