List , sorry to keep troubling you all but even if you are not interested in
helping could someone just let me know if this happens by default in 9i
release 2 or am I doing something wrong.

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.
