I am facing this weird language issue on Start Screen and as well as on other windows tab. I have tried editing netbeans.conf files but no luck.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

UPDATE:

You could try the following options:

  1. Use the latest JDK for Netbeans. The newest version for 1.8 is 281 How to point NetBeans to the new JDK see here.

  2. Try to set the default language option for non-Unicode programs in windows as mentioned here.

  1. Click Start > Control Panel.
  2. Windows 10, Windows 8: Click Region
  3. Windows 7: Click the Administrative tab. (If there is no Advanced tab, then you are not logged in with administrative privileges.)
  4. Under the Language for non-Unicode programs section, select the desired language from the drop down menu.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Restart the computer to apply the change

  1. If this doesn't help, try to change your java locale manually. You need to add something like this in the file netbeans.conf at the end of the variable netbeans_default_options:

    -J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.country=US -J-Duser.variant=UTF-8

  • JDK update and linked it to the NetBeans in netbeans.conf file did the trick. :) Thanks for the answer.. Cheers :) – Amit Soni Mar 28 '21 at 19:40

You could try to change characters encoding for netbeans however my Netbeans version is differ from your but it should be the same approach fot thius. In my case i have netbeans config file (netbeans.conf) in a directory: C:\Program Files\NetBeans-11.1\netbeans\etc

I manually added -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to the default option ("netbeans_default_options"). Below I paste my netbeans_default_options value:

netbeans_default_options="-J-Djdk.lang.Process.allowAmbiguousCommands=true -J-XX:+UseStringDeduplication -J-Xss2m -J-Djdk.gtk.version=2.2 -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true -J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true -J-Dplugin.manager.check.updates=false -J-Dnetbeans.extbrowser.manual_chrome_plugin_install=yes -J--add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.base/java.lang.ref=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.base/java.security=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.plaf.basic=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.text=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt.event=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=java.prefs/java.util.prefs=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-opens=jdk.jshell/jdk.jshell=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-modules=jdk.jshell -J--add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-exports=java.desktop/java.awt.peer=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-exports=java.desktop/com.sun.beans.editors=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-exports=java.desktop/sun.swing=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-exports=java.desktop/sun.awt.im=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-exports=jdk.internal.jvmstat/sun.jvmstat.monitor=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-exports=java.management/sun.management=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-exports=java.base/sun.reflect.annotation=ALL-UNNAMED -J--add-exports=jdk.javadoc/com.sun.tools.javadoc.main=ALL-UNNAMED -J-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
