Displaying English characters on a Japanese locale

The application I am working is localized for Enlish and Japanese. I need to bring up the application in English on a Japanese locale ( OS ). I tried to use the command line parameters -DLocale.language en -DLocale.country US. Even then, I am not able to bring the application up in English, I comes up in Japanese.Is there some way to bring the app in English on a Japanese locale(OS)?
I have also read about editing the font.properties file, Does somebody what needs to be added to render the app in English?
Thanks,

If you are using a Windows box, try the command
CHCP 437
which will change your OS locale to USA, and the command
CHCP 932
will revert the OS locale to Japan. It must be better first entering the simple command
CHCP
and confirm the current codepage of the OS.
(Note that this reply is concerned with the OS property, not about Java.)

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't continue in Hebrew. I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste. Does anyone know how to fix this? I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1. I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

Just clarifying:
Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

Appreciate your help.

Fonts are defined in the template you use to generate the pdf. Your application add the data and both is processed yb the FOP processor. Now there are two possible causes of the '???' :
1. the data you sent to the template contains the '???' already
2. the template can't digest the data (the special characters) and puts '???' in the pdf.
Before going on you have to find out which one is your problem. The 2nd is the problem you better ask this in a FOP forum as you have to solve it by changing the template.

How to set Weblogic 5.1 server to display UTF8 characters

Hi all,
Does anybody know how to set up Weblogic 5.1 server in order to display UTF8
characters such as Japanese characters?
I am able to display utf8 in Tomcat but not in Weblogic. All I did for
Tomcat is to change the content type of the servlets.
Thank you for your help.
Danh

DO you have servlets which print utf-8 data to the client?
If yes then you can just call response.setContentType("text/html;
charset=UTF-8");
and the response will look as expected.
for jsps :
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> should do the trick.

Linux or Java? :Cannot display non english characters

hi,
i am trying to implement a GUI that supports both turkish and english. user can switch between them on the fly.
public class SampleGUI {
JButton trTranslate = new JButton(); /* Button, to translate into turkish */
/* Label text will be translated */
JLabel label = new JLable("Text to Be Translated!");
trTranslate.addActionListener (new ActionListener(){
void ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
String language="tr";
String country="TR";
Locale currentLocale;
ResourceBundle messages;
currentLocale = new Locale(language, country);
messages = ResourceBundle.getBundle("TranslateMessages",currentLocale);
/* get from properties file turkish match of "TextTranslate "*/
label.setText(messages.getString("TextToTranslate"));
Finally, my problem is my application does not display non english chracaters like "� ş � ğ � i" in GUI after triggering translation.However, if i do not use ResourceBundle and instead assign directly the turkish match for that label (i.e. label.setText("şşşşş")), GUI successfully displays turkish characters. what may be the problem?
ps : i am using redhat linux8.0, j2sdk1.4.1. current locale = "tr_TR.UTF-8". in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard , keyTable = "trq". There seems no problem for me as i can input and output
turkish characters. OS supports this. Also jvm gets the current encoding from OS.It seems as if there is a problem in reading properties file in inappropriate encoding.
thanx for dedicating ur time and effort,

Non-English characters not displaying correctly - Serious Issue

My corporate email is on a Lotus Domino server with Lotus Traveler installed.
I have set my PlayBook (with OS 2) up to syncronize with the corporate email trough Active Sync (see http://alturl.com/qh3nn), which works perfectly.
I have however noticed that in some emails special non-english characters are displayed correctly but in some emails special non-english characters are displayed as a black diamond with a question mark inside.
This is of course a serious issue as most non English speaking countries use some special characters.
When trying to understand this problem how can I analyse the emails and see what character set is being used?
And of course better; has someone solved this?

I am having the same problem. Is there any update available?

My Firefox cannot display non-English characters, even though I have tried every language encoding I have!

I am a big fan of Japanese songs and websites, so I was very disappointed when I saw that Firefox could not handle any non-English characters. I have tried every encoding I can, but none work and I just see boxes with numbers and letters inside. I have only just got this older laptop for my birthday - my old laptop which ran Windows Vista and had Firefox 4 had no trouble at all. Please help me!

hello muoshui, please enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''network.http.accept-encoding''' - right-click and reset that entry to the default value.
if this does not resolve the issue already, please also go through the steps offered at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]].

Display both Arabic & English characters in the same BO report or not

Hi
Can we display both Arabic & English characters in the same BO report or not?
if yes what will be the character settings/changes required.
thanks and regards

Kglad - I'm not sure I follow your instructions for the fix. I assume you want me to set the _visible property to false via Actionscript ( textInvisible._visible = false; ). What is the purpose of this second text field - does it need any specific content in it to function? It doesn't seem to work to fix the problem but maybe I'm misunderstanding.

Itunes won't display Asian Characters (Korean, Japanese, and Chinese)

For some reason, with the most recent update to iTunes, my library is no longer properly displaying Korean characters. It is instead replacing them with boxes. It was and has worked fine for the longest time and I haven't made any other changes that would affect the language packs with my windows 7 64bit. However, when I play a song in iTunes and I have MSN Messenger running, the messenger will correctly display the current song I'm listening. I'm just hoping that if I sync my iPhone with my library, these characters will not appear as squares there as well. I've seen suggestions for switching my operating system language setting to Korean, but as I'm not completely fluent I'd hate to get stuck not knowing how to navigate my way around because I can't read/understand something. Can someone please find a solution for this.

I didn't have the problem of showing boxes, but I had a similar problem of the korean characters showing in symbols. To fix, I (1) right clicked on the song. (2) Chose Convert ID3 Tags. (3) Checked "Reverse Unicode" Box, then hit "OK". You can highlight as many songs as you want at once and still perform the same thing, to save you time.
Hope this helps you.

Non English characters in BIP email

Hi, my report contains Japanese characters, when I view the output in HTML format. It is displayed properly. But when I click on send button , enter email parameters like to, cc, bcc, subject , etc and send it, in the mail I receive, the japanese characters are not getting displayed properly. The same problem occurs for spanish and portugese texts-in general to all non english characters. I am using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Release 10.1.3.4. If someone has faced a similar issue, kindly help. Thanks in advance

Suggestions
1) Try with NLS_LANG as
SWEDISH_SWEDEN.WE8DEC
2) Make a paramform and enter via paramform (unencoded)
(This is just for testing purpose)
3) Change machine locale to swedish and try
4) Which reports version is this ?
Please see

Get in touch with Support to see if this is the issue and if "yes" get a one-off patch.

Displaying Asian characters on Solaris platform?

I have a java application that can display Chinese, Japanese, Korean & Taiwanese (CJKT) on a Windows platform. It is able to display these characters on Windows because i have installed the CJKT locales and have modified the font.properties file to provide the necessary font mappings for the CJKT charsets. But, when i do the same modifications in Solaris (i.e. install the locales & modify the font.properties to provide mappings to various fonts that support the CJKT charsets) and run the application, i am not able to see the CJKT characters. The CJKT characters are displayed as boxes when the application is run in the en_US.ISO8859-1 locale.
Could someone please suggest what can be done to enable the display of CJKT characters on an ISO8859-1 locale?
It seems Solaris has locale-specific font installation. Is there any way a font from one loacale (say japanese) can be used in the other i.e. system locale (say korean) to display characters of the first locale (japanese)?

Thanks, but it does not answer the question.
I already have the required locales installed. It is just that i'm not able to display Asian characters on an English locale. I am using the Java logical font (serif), and the font.properties does map it to the various fonts that support the CJKT (Chinese, Japanese, Korean & Taiwanese) charsets, but still the application is unable to display the CJKT characters. It seems that java makes use of the X11 fonts and they happen to be installed in separate directories, one for each locale. This could be the reason why the other fonts are not available in the ISO8859-1 locale.
Is there any way we can map use the fonts of other locales by making use of the java logical font?

Non-English characters

Hello, I have read several times that since Java uses Unicode, it solves the problems of non-English characters automatically or something like that.
But my app is not working as expected. Would someone help please?
I have a client/server combo written in Java. The server can send messages in English or Japanese. The Japanese messages are hard-coded as String literals in the server source code. On the client side, they are displayed on a JEditorPane. But the Japanese characters are all garbled. The OS on the server side and client side are, of course, different.
My supposition, which is obviously wrong as it is not working, is that since both ends of communication are Java app, I need not worry about any encoding conversions for String literals.
Suggest me what is wrong here?

How is the required encoding/decoding supposed to be done?
When I didn't worry about non-English characters, I did the following, which WORKED.
// SENDER side
Socket socket ;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
String outMessage = "my message";
out.println(outMessage);//RECEIVER
Socket socket ;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String inMessage = in.readLine();When non-English characters are involved, I did the following, which DID NOT WORK. Please someone correct me.
// SENDER side
Socket socket ;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
String outMessage = "my message";
String utfString = new String(outMessage.getBytes(),"UTF-8");
out.println(utfString);//RECEIVER
Socket socket ;
InputStreamReader ins = new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream(),"UTF-8");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(ins);
String inMessage = in.readLine();The received message is still garbled.

Non-english characters in sqlplus

Friends,
9.0.1,10.2.0.1
CAn the non-english characters be displayed in sqlplus prompt?
I have to print the data with some hindi charcaters like name from the report generated via proc.
What is teh workaround for this?
Thanks

Hi,
I have RH Linux 7.3.
Here is my situation.
I have some tables that have some columns.In these columns i need to store data in hindi.
The database character set(nls_characterset) is US7ASCII.
The datatypes of the columns is varchar2 type.
The tables are accessed through Pro*c and the proc code generates the report.
The data in these reports needs to be printed out and the corresponding data has to be in hindi.
So i have to do two things
1) On query the tables, the user should see hindi data along with english data.
2) The printed report should also contain hindi data.
Questions:
1) If i change the charcater set by the command:
alter database character set AL32UTF8;
and OS locale to UTF-8
Would these chnages solve the purpose?
2) Or do i need to recreate the database with AL32UTF8 and exp/imp all the data?
3)Any other advice/option?
Thanks
