2)SELECT * FROM NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS;
PARAMETER VALUE

When you run Toad in Windows, it is most likely, that it derives the locale either from the Windows regional Settings
(i.E. setting a german Keyboard and a german
dateformat on a English Windows Server makes
runInstaller present german text !)

or it is explicitly set environment on the client machine. Check by starting CMD.EXE and
execute
SET

to validate the environment on the client side. Check the client for the regional settings in the Windows Control Panel.
