Accounts in Different Languages

I am seriously thinking about buying my first iMac. I live in Japan and my wife is Japanese and I am American. Can I set up one account in her native language and one in mine?

Yes. Each account's language settings are separate, so you can have hers be in Japanese and when you logs into or switch to yours, then apps and system text will be in English.
Do keep in mind that this will require the specific service or program to be "localized" to the language being used, otherwise the next preferred language that the app supports will be used. Therefore, if a program you have is not localized to Japanese, then when you are in her account it will appear in English, if English is the next preferred language in her account's preferences.

Different accounts in different languages

If I make two different user accounts in a iMac, can they be in different languages?
For example: I want to make an account for me with Tiger in English, and another one for my wife with Tiger in Japanese. Is that possible?

For example: I want to make an account for me with
Tiger in English, and another one for my wife with

Yes. You can choose any of the available OS X localizations for any user account you set up.

Two Accounts, Two Different Languages

I've created, as administrator, an account for my father. He uses a different language from mine. The finder shows the language I chose for him, however applications such as Safari are displayed in the original language I use as administrator. How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Is ti possible? and How?

is GREEK just not a supported language
You can see exactly what languages are supported in the OS X tech specs:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/
In addition, the Tiger that comes with Intel Macs has Russian.
A Greek add-on is only available via Rainbow and 3rd party patches. One is mentioned here, I don't know if it works right or causes problems.

For multiple account numbers create an LSMW based on that description.

Is it possible to setup a different language for the user account?

Hi,
My server is in English but many of my users will use French.
Can I setup in WGM a different language (international) for the user?

The settings are changed in at least three locations for a user account. Changes are made to ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences, ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.HIToolBox.plist, and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolBox.<MACAddress>.plist. There are a lot of keys in there that get changed and might vary between 10.4.x and 10.5.x -if you have a mixed OS environment. So while you you may be able to import the first two into WGM, the last one might be the most trouble as it's machine specific.
If you gave access to the 'International' System Prefpane, it wouldn't affect anything but the student account since their prefs are saved to a network location or to their local PHD account. Changes would revert to whatever the system default preferences were on logout. Those would be the prefs in /Library/Preferences.
The 'International' System Prefpane has many listings for the other language choices that are installed on the system which could be a source of confusion for student users. Removing those resources, using certain tools like MonoLingual, can make certain software behave badly or even make the system unusable. Use with caution.

How to have different language FF on two different user accounts.

I have two user accounts and need Chinese (Simplified) FF on one and English FF on the other. I can download either language FF on the appropriate account without any problem. Then when I go to the other account and download the other language FF that action changes the FF that I had downloaded on the first account. I have done this process in both directions and it always changes FF on the first account to the language of the second download. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can install the en-US version and install the language pack of the Chinese version.

How can I create 2 catalogues (same design but different languages)

Hello,
I have to launch 2 catalogues (32 pages) in Indesign, with an equal layout but different languages. My client will need to start them both and won't wait for a agreement on a Master file. He'll update the layout all along the realisation (color, pictures and graphic design). To avoid waisting time by correcting twice, would you have a tip to link both composition and enhance automatically the background layout and ajustements over and above the languages ?
What would be the best method ?
Thanks a lot for your advices !
Caro.

Welcome to the discussions.
In the Accounts tab of Mail's preferences, you can set the Full Name (I don't know how it will be labelled in French - it is the 3rd field in Account Information). This is the name that will be displayed in the From column of the recipient's mail client.
But if the mail accounts are for two different users, it would be better to set up a separate login account on the mac for each of them, and then set up the mail preferences for the separate users.

How to manage Folder names in different languages

In our project we are implementing IMAP protocol and using Exchange server. When an account created in Exchange, many default folders are created. We need some of them for example Outbox,Sent Items,Drafts... But these folder names are language dependent. These names can be in English or in Turkish. On the other hand in different Exchange servers these names can be different. For example in exchange 2003 Outbox name is "Gidenler" but in exchange 2007 its name is "Giden Kutusu".
1- Is there a method that can be used to get folder with its type. As I looked at Exchange Server I saw there is a property that shows folder type like "Outbox,Draft...".Folder names can be change language dependently but this types never change. If it is impossible
2- How can I manage these folders? Do I have to try all these names? (I think its not a good solution because these names can be in an another language)
Thanks...

Hi,
two ways:
1. translate the queries with the workbench. But this is not easy.
2. Easier is: logon in the query designer in different languages and translate all items.

User folders in different language!

I got some serious computer troubles some days ago that now seems to be fixed but my USER ACCOUNT folders (I mean Documents, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public and Sites) are in a different language (It could be in spanish but now appears in english). I suspect that i moved or trashed some of the USER preferences. Can you help me to solve it, please? I'm losing my sanity :-/ Thanks so much!

Thanks Eric. I did it but it seems not to solve the problem. If I go to International, into the System Preferences, and change to other languages I get after reboot the logical results in the whole computer system, but my user folders remains fixed in ENGLISH no matter the language I chose.
If I try to rename the folders in spanish, like the rest of the system, I lose the icons and the MacOS wont recognize it as user folders :-/
Please, any other help?
Thanks again, Eric.

Security Questions in Different Language

All of the emails and security questions I get from Apple are in different languages. How can i change this? Please help!

#1 and #2
can be done, if you upgrade to Solaris 10 and edit /etc/default/passwd (see man passwd)
#3:
well, should work. At least you can set how long a password is valid (see man passwd).
#4:
#5:
Can be done with if you use something like MS AD or LDAP for your naming service, don't think Standard Solaris can do it. Even if you of course can use the PAM framework to create a PAM module which does this, or search the net to see if someone have done it already.
Thinking of it, it might be possible in pure Solaris as well, but if it is haven't done it. Perhaps someone else knows.
#6 and #7:
possible, again, if you upgrade to Solaris 10. In Solaris 10 you can lock an account after X amount of failed login attempts by editing /etc/security/policy.conf and make sure that LOCK_AFTER_RETRIES are set to "yes".
By default this feature allows the user to try and login 4 times, after 4 bad login attempts the account is locked. The amount of retries can be set in /etc/default/login .
The time can also be set in login, sort of.
The latter file can also be used to specify when to log the failed attemt to syslog.
See (on Solaris 10):
man login
man policy.conf
#8:
If you are refering to the root account; in the same way as any other account i'ld suppose. Even if you have to be more careful. The root accounts might not be used very frequently, and when you have to use them its probably an emergency..

How to store personal data in two different languages

Hello,
as usual we're storing employee's personal data in the infotype 0002, but suppose we need to store this information (for instance the name) in two different languages with also two different alphabets (for instance english and russian, chinese, etc.) As far as I know you cannot store data in the infotype depending on the language, and for infotype 0002 there are no subtypes available, so what is the solution provided by SAP if you need to store information in two different languages?
Kind regards,

Hello Raj,
first of all thank you very much for your answer, it's in fact a good idea, but what if I need to store the information both in English and Greek, if I create a new screen for Greek employees (lets say) they are only going to enter the info in greek language, what about the english info?
I don't want to create two registers in infotype 0002, I think it will be a better idea if we had an infotype to store additional info in other languages, take into account that we'll probably need other fields like family members names and so on
Thanks again

Download InDesign CC in different language version

Hello,
I am a complete creative member in the UK. Can I download and use InDesign CC Japanese version?

Hi nilam,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
By default the Creative Cloud application will utilize the language settings for your operating system. You can find information on what your current language setting is by review the following documentation:
Mac OS: OS X: Changing the language shown in menus and dialogs
Windows 7 and 8: Install or change a display language
If you wish to install the software included in your Creative Cloud Membership to a different language then you will need to make this adjustment in the Creative Cloud application. Full details on how this can be accomplished can be found at Adjust the install language | Creative Cloud applications | CCM.
If after adjusting the language and installing the Adobe Creative applications you discover them to be in trial mode then it is possible your subscription may not include the requested language. You can find more details at Creative Cloud products launch in trial mode on non-English operating systems | CCM, CS6.
Finally you can check if you have an English only or Multi-language membership under you account at http://www.adobe.com/. For more information on how to manage your membership please see Manage your membership | Creative Cloud.
