ORA-12705 in version 3.4.2

We released an update to our application and shipped DOA34C5.BPL version 3.4.1 as part of the many changes. One of our clients has responded with an unusual error:

"Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12705"

While the error itself tells me their computer may not have Oracle set up correctly (because it can't find the text for the error message) I am still wondering if there was a change in DOA that might cause this. Their system configuration hasn't changed. They have only installed the newest version of our application and the application worked before this update.

There are two EXE's in our application. One has had extensive changes. The other hasn't changed at all. Both of these EXE's generate the above error message when attempting to log in.

I have sent them 3.4.2 and the same error message is generated.

If the application worked correctly with 3.3, then 3.4 is probably selecting a different oracle home for this client (or the Oracle client is corrupted). The ORA-12705 error indicates that the NLS_LANG setting in the oracle registry is not correct. The missing message translation indicates the same.
