Hi there!

I get tons of these messages from some workspaces created with FME 2020 (in Norway) and now  migrated to FME 2024: 

The Startup Python Script changed the current FME process locale from 'Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.utf8' to 'C' and FME has restored it back to 'Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.utf8'. It is undefined behavior to change locale and doing so may cause unexpected errors. For more information, visit http://fme.ly/PythonLocaleError

I have read the post http://fme.ly/PythonLocaleError carefully, but it does not give me anything. I have nothing such as import arcpy or locale.setlocale() in my Python-code. The example message above is particulary strange, I don’t even have a Python Startup Script. So something is absolutely confusing here.

Another example:

PythonFactory script changed the current FME process locale from 'Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.utf8' to 'C' and FME has restored it back to 'Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.utf8'. It is undefined behavior to change locale and doing so may cause unexpected errors. For more information, visit http://fme.ly/PythonLocaleError

“With FME 2022.0 and newer, FME will process all workspaces using UTF-8 as the encoding for most string data when running on Windows 10+ or Windows Server 2019+, this allows for FME to execute workspaces that are created in different locales and will help minimize locale issues. “

This is well known by me. My guess for the reason of these messages is that the workspace was developed prior to FME 2022.0, and therefore originally not in UTF-8 encoding. But how can I get rid of these messages after that the workspace has been migrated to FME 2024?

Anyone?
