Multi language characters

I have an applicaiton to support English, French and Spanish.
There are some characters with accent on the top for French and Spanish shows funny characters on the web pages.
I see some web site can display those characters correctly.
I would like to know are there any configuarion to do to display those characters correctly.
Your help and information is great appreciated,

This link might be helpful for explaining how to set file encoding in Dreamweaver:
http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/creating-opening-documents.html#set_default_docum ent_type_and_encoding
If you had some CFML like:
<cfset name = "双喜">
You'd want that file to have the cfprocessingdirective at the top of the file.  If that file was itself perhaps cfincluded from another file, both files would need the cfprocessingdirective.
If however it was coming direct from the DB, it wouldn't matter.  However if you were outputting it into some Javascript or HTML, that file would need to be rendered using UTF-8 encoding.  Which might also need to be done at the webserver.

  • Oracle 9i Support for multi language is not working.. Giving question mark

    HI,
    We have an application which uses oracle 9i as the database. Riight now we are supporting only english and there is a requirement to support multiple languages like korean, chineese and japaneese.
    But we are planning to migrate one part of the application to support multi languages. Means it may affect around 10 tables but with huge data. Totally we have around 100 tables.
    How to enable the database for supporting multiple langugages.?
    Is there any way to enable only the few tables supporting multiple languages. Because if we change the database level parameters for supporting languages, we may need to migrate entire tables. this will be a huge task.
    Even if want to set the parameters for supporting multiple languages.. how to set it. Is it possible set it in the existing database or do we need to re-create the table with these prameters.
    I have read in some documentation, that we can create table columns with nVarchar2 for supporting multi languages. I have created it. but if i copy some other language characters into those columns, it is giving question mark.
    Is it possible to do search using text in native langugage like chineese..
    Could somebody guide me on the above clarificationa and what would be the best approach..
    Thanks in advance

    You should not use any more Oracle 9.0.1 but at least Oracle 9.2.0.8 to get some extended support if you really cannot upgrade to 10g.
    I don't have any Oracle 9.x database available but I've run successfully following test with Oracle 10.2.0.1 in character mode under Linux:

  • Invalid language characters

    HI,
    We got this error while executing DTP.
    Data record 2378 ('0000102749 '): Version '珠海市鹰飞商贸有限公 ' is not valid     
    We had nearly 101 error datarecords of this kind.
    So its getting difficult to look into the language and add the characters to RSKC .
    In SMLT Tcode,
    We had English,German,CHinese on R/3 side.
    On BI side we have English and German.
    Please suggest How to solve this issue?

  • Help: Multi-language Support in Jdeveloper 9i Log Window

    I have basically solved the multi-language display problem in code editor, compiling and run. If I send the output out of JDeveloper, it's displayed well.
    However, if I run or debug in JDeveloper and want to see the result in JDeveloper log window, the non-english characters are still not recognisable. Anyone knows the correct setting?

    Hi...
    It sounds like your encoding settings aren't set correctly. Your compiler encoding should be set to the same value as your environment encoding and this should usually be the same as your operating system default encoding (unless your app is encoded as Unicode).
    Set the encoding for compiler in the Project Properties under Profiles\Developement\Compiler. Leave it as default unless you have a good reason otherwise.
    Set the encoding for the environment in the Tools\Preferences menu item, in the Environment page. Leave it as default (which should = Compiler encoding) unless you have a good reason to change it.
    If you continue to have problems, I'll need to know the version of JDeveloper you're using, the OS and region settings, and the values set for for encoding in JDeveloper.

  • Multi Language Character sets

    Does anyone know if the oracle odbc drivers support multi language character sets?
    I am trying to retrieve Chinese (prc) characters from the database (it is stored correctly and I have the Microsoft Multilanguage service pack installed). Odbc won't retrieve them correctly (actually stops after 1 row).
    If I use the OLE DB driver, it does retrieve them. Is there a converter inside the OLE DB driver that ODBC doesn't have or is there a setting I'm missing? (The tool I want to use this with does not recognize OLE DB, is there a way top make it use oledb but defining an odbc connection??)
    Cheers
    Chris

    The version number you're providing doesn't seem to make any sense to me. Oracle's ODBC drivers are versioned to match the version of the Oracle client they work with, i.e. 8.1.7.8 is the latest Oracle ODBC driver for the 8.1.7 Oracle client. In the Oracle 7 days, there was a 2.5x series of Oracle ODBC drivers. So far as I'm aware, there's never been a 4.x series of Oracle ODBC drivers.
    AMERICAN_AMERICAN.UTF8 would be the option I'd tend to prefer on the client, particularly if you'll be working with more than just Chinese data (i.e. English & Chinese). I'm not sure what AMERICAN_AMERICAN.<some Chinese character set> would end up doing. There's a lot of info out there about NLS settings (including an NLS discussion forum) that might be helpful to you.
    What OLE DB provider are you using that works?

  • Multi Language Support Setup

    Hi Gurus,
    We have currently upgraded from 11i to R12.1.2 and we have decided to USE MLS & NLS(Multi Language Support) for the very 1st time.We have 4 Languages (American,Spanish,French,Portuguese) so when we query for data in tl tables(apterms_tl,ra_terms_tl,fnd_responsibility_tl) we get four records for a single term_id because we are using 4 languages so we need to keep a language join. What I am doing is
    Select * from ap_terms_tl where agent_id = 5 and language = USERENV('LANG'); which returns only one row with US as the language. Here is a sceneario where I am struck I want to see data in a different language like Spanish or french or Portuguese so how can i achieve that. what i am trying to do is
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = 'BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE'; and then querying for
    Select * from ap_terms_tl where agent_id = 5 and language = USERENV('LANG'); i get data in Portuguese. How can we achieve this from user level perspective. like when we register a Canadian USER and he wants to see American and vice -verse.
    here are the profile options for NLS & MLS
    PROFILE_NAME USER_NAME
    ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK ICX: Date format mask
    ICX_DATE_LANGUAGE ICX: Date language
    ICX_LANGUAGE ICX: Language
    ICX_NLS_SORT ICX: NLS Sort
    ICX_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ICX: Numeric characters
    ICX_TERRITORY ICX: Territory
    I tried setting up these profile Options but didn't work. I am struck Here(like where to set these profile options to make the MLS work).Let me explain the sceneriao
    Here is what we are trying to achieve When a user from Canada login into Oracle Applications and runs a request set or a concurrent Program he has to see the output in Canadian Language Responsibility this should be done dynamically(changing the Language). You have give me a scenario like changing the preferences and setting the session languages can we dot it dynamically like as soon as the user logs in from Canada his session Language should be set to Canada Language.
    I am just waiting for some help from the gurus.
    Help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Hussien,
    I able to see the languages in the tables and when i alter the session and I able to see the data in that particular Language.Even i log-in into oracle applications and click on Preferences and change the session Language Other than US i can see the screens in a different Language.Is there anything we can't do dynamically instead of user signing into Oracle Applications and change his session Language.
    Like when the user logs-in from Canada then he can automatically see his country language.
    Thanks & Regards
    Krishna.

    No I am using VB (ADO, ORAOLEDB) to insert the data. In my VB code I know the data that I have is unicode. I cann see it by doing val(ascb(midb(Comments,2))) * 256 + val(ascb(midb(Comments,1)))
    Also if I use sql plus editor to insert some data using insert into abc value nchr(64037), I can retrieve this data using my VB.
    While inserting I am using a stored procedure command and am specifying the type as 202 (adVarWChar).
    Does the client setting (NLS_LANG) need to be anything specific? I tried setting it to UTF8 as well

  • Is Locale required for multi language?

    Hi Folks,
    I used Locale to represent multi language or directly using unicode characters, these 2 scenarios as follows:
    Using Locale:
    <%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
    <%@page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%>
    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    <%
            String language;
            String country;
            Locale locale;
            ResourceBundle rb;
                language = new String("hi");
                country = new String("IN");
             locale = new Locale(language, country);
             rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessagesBundle", locale);
             System.out.println(rb.getString("localeInfo") + " ( " +
    locale.getDisplayLanguage() + "," + locale.getDisplayCountry() + ").\n");
            out.println(rb.getString("welcome"));
             out.println(rb.getString("sayThanks"));
      %>
    </body>
    </html>And the property file is with name "MessagesBundle_hi_IN.properties":
    localeInfo = \u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0020\u0915\u0949\u092a\u0964
    welcome = *\u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0020\u0915\u0949\u092a\u0964*
    sayThanks = \u0917\u0941
    i got the required output.
    Now with out using Locale i directly pass the unicode value directly and got the same output.
    String text="*\u0917\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0020\u0915\u0949\u092a\u0964*";
    //Character.subset block2=Character.subset(text);
    out.println(text);
    As we can do the same thing directly passing unicode with out using Locale then what is the use of it?
    Thanks.
    Edited by: RajeshwarReddyT on Jul 16, 2009 10:05 AM

    Uhmm, the ability to present different text to different users dependent on the locale they are running in? Without having to pass in the specific text for a specific locale like you do in the second option?
    Not to mention all the other stuff like date/time, numbers etc. that you also want to change acdording to locale - but since you specifically ask about language, let's ignore that.

  • Multi-byte characters are garbled in SQL Server Business Intelligent Development Studio (Visual Studio) 2008

    Hi,
    I'm revising an existing report which was developed by my predecessor. Though it works fine in the production environment, when I open the .rdl file with SQL Server Business Intelligent Studio (Visual Studio) 2008 on my client
    PC, I find all the multi-byte characters are garbled. When I open it with the BIDS (the same version) on the server, it shows everything correctly.
    The fonts for the controls (labels) are Tahoma and it's originally only for alphabets, but multi-byte characters are supposed to be displayed in MSGOTHIC by Font Link as they are displayed correctly on the server.
    Could anyone advise me how to solve this issue? I know I can fix it by changing the fonts from Tahoma to MSGOTHIC for all the contrls, but I don't want to do it.
    Environment:
    My PC：Windows7 64bit /Visual Studio 9.0.30729.1 / .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
    Server：Windows Server 2003 R2 /Visual Studio 9.0.30729.1 / .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
    Garbled characters sample:
    FontLink - SystemLink
    Please let me know if you need any more information. I would appreciate your advice!

    Hi nino_miya,
    According to your description, when you display the report in client side, characters are garbled.
    In your scenario, please check if the Language is the same as the report on production server. Also please check if the data of Tahoma in registry on client PC is the same as server. If those two settings are the same, please specify font of the each
    control as MSGOTHIC manaually on client PC.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Multi language web site

    Multi language web site
    What is the best way to have my web site switchable (initially from links on the main index.html page) between different languages?
    Do I simply clone the English version (including all the sub-directories and structure) into a sub-directory and translate each page and put a link on the main index.html page to a translated copy of the index.html page in the German sub-directory
    That would mean I effectively have two websites to maintain.
    More when it is translated into more languages.
    Currently all the English pages are made from a template (dwt file)
    I assume this adds a level of complication to the design.
    Or is there a better/easier way?
    thanks

    This is a website that the client did not continue with http://ncca.com.au/new/, hence it has not been finished.
    In the top right hand corner are two flags, Dutch and English. By clicking on a flag, the language session variable is changed. This session variable is used througout the website to determine the content as in
    if ($_SESSION['lang'] == 'en') {include("home_en.php");}
    if ($_SESSION['lang'] == 'nl') {include("home_nl.php");}
    If there are more languages it is better to use the select switch rather than an if statement.

    You have to program this by hand.  Now there is an event that let's the add-on know when the language has been change.  That could be a start, but you have to program all the translation on your add-on, is not done automatically.

  • Multi-language support for user-specified text strings used in the forms

    multi-language support for user-specified text strings used in the forms
    Instead of creating multiple forms, 1 in each different language, for the same service, is there any workaround?

    Hoan - is your question what are the considerations when creating multiligual catalogs? If so, I can tell you that at other clients I have seen them use a single catalog for one or two languages. For the two langugages, such as Spanish/English, you can create a single catalog with both of them. Once you get to more than two languages, the catalog would get unweildy and is therefore not suggested.

    Lets say you have two smart styles with X and Y, and runtime based on the number of pages, if you would like to modify the style, then check any standard table or structue which holds and responsible for the holding the style value.

  • Best practice for developing multi language Website

    Hi all
    I want to develop my website in multiple languages and I know that I can put all the msg string in the resource bundle or in the database, however, I think this makes the interface of the web becomes very difficult to develop because I can't see anything in the HTML editor. Another solution is to use XSL that I believe HTML editors is able to display the tagname or some description of the XSL tag but I am not sure about that because I haven't used it before.
    Have any expert web developers find a better solution or do you guys think XSL is the best solutions? Any suggestions are very welcome. Thank You!
    From
    Edmond

    being not familiar with xsl, I say go for resources. If you define your own tag to display text, it isnt that hard to understand, e.g.
    <translate id="hello.world"/>. That at least is how I make multi language website.
