Mass translation of text Symbols,Selection texts and Structures

Hi,
As per our Project Requirement we need to maintain Mass translations for Text Symbols, Selection Texts and structures.
Can anyone please provide a Tool or a solution through which we can maintain these translations without doing it manually
through SE63 transaction .
I have all the Translations maintained in a (.xls) file.
Is it possible to provide this (.xls) (This .xls has the Original text and the Translated text) as a input and get the translations done.
I would also like to know in which table these translations are maintained.
Please help me with this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
There is no standard tool as such.
You can use below technique to develop your own tool.
    READ TEXTPOOL 'Program name' INTO i_source LANGUAGE 'Language'.
    DELETE TEXTPOOL 'Program name' LANGUAGE 'Language'.
    INSERT TEXTPOOL 'Program name' FROM i_target LANGUAGE 'Language'.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Selection text and text elements contents not displayed

I have a language related problem
I have 2 servers .
In first server I logged in english language and the selection text and text elements are displayed in English.
The requirement is I dont want to translate these texts it should be displayed in English only even if I log into SAP with other language.
So if I log in german I see the texts in English in the first server.
But this is not the case with second.
If I log in with English I see the english texts but if I do in german I am not able to see this english text with proper contents .
Can anybody let me know if there are any settings to be done ? As its working fine in first server but not in second .

Hello Jalpa Shukla,
If you want to display the text in english language only better dont use Text-element
instead of using text element you hard the text in the program then you will display the text in same in English.
Try in this way, If not past the code i will give the solution

JTextPane, Selecting Text and Applying Styles

Hello,
Anyone encounter this situation? I have a mini word processor application that I have written using the RTFEditor kit and a JTextPane. To change style, e.g bold, font size, font face, etc, one can select text and then click a button or select a menu item. That part works fine. The styles are primarily changed by using the Action classes provided in the javax.swing.text.* package.
The problem is, that if a user selected text of more than one style, all of the text is automatically converted to the style of the first part of the text selected, without the user even eanting to change ANY style just yet.
If anyone knows why this might be happening I would surely appreciate it.
Thanks,
acal

Solution to the style appling problem...
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
        if (flag) return;
        if(e.getSource() == boldButton)
            SimpleAttributeSet attrs = new SimpleAttributeSet();
            attrs.addAttribute(StyleConstants.Bold,boldButton.isSelected());
            applyStyleToSelection(attrs);
            editorPane.grabFocus();
            return;
public void applyStyleToSelection(AttributeSet attrs)
        int start = editorPane.getSelectionStart();
        int end = editorPane.getSelectionEnd();
        DefaultStyledDocument doc = (DefaultStyledDocument) editorPane.getDocument();
        doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end - start, attrs, false);
        StyledEditorKit styled = (StyledEditorKit) editorPane.getEditorKit();
        MutableAttributeSet mas = styled.getInputAttributes();
        mas.addAttributes(attrs);

Can't select text and scroll when using Word

Recently I have been unable to select text and scroll down the page using two fingers, while in a word document.This is only happening in Word, so far no other programs. Does anyone have an idea of how to turn on or off this feature?

I cant scroll below or above viewable section of text in any of my Macbooks, iMac, Mac Mini. Never have been able to, never could, except by pressing the arrow keys whilst selecting, to move up or down.
Its stupid
I dont have flash installed (never will do since my first virus of video ad sound running in background from Cnet was downloaded and kept returning until i deinstalled flash).
I believe that this is a universal issue because none of my Macs can scroll out of screen when selecting text, which as a webmaster and developer, is a pain in the butt
My issue is not in word documents, its in everything

Pages '09: Can't use AppleScript for selected text inside tables?

When I run get selection on selected text in a Pages document, I get something like this:
<pre>text from character 1 to character 4 of body text of document id 9943974 of application "Pages"</pre>
When I run get selection on selected text inside a table cell in a table in a Pages document, I get something like this:
<pre>text from character 1 to character 4 of some table of document id 3539679 of application "Pages"</pre>
When I run get selection on selected text inside a table cell in ANOTHER table in the same Pages document, I get the exact same thing. It still says "some" table. So there is no way to distinguish between tables if there are more than one table in the same Pages document.
Am I correct in understanding that this means that most AppleScript commands for manipulating text are unusable inside table cells?
For example, it seems impossible to get the properties of the selection when the selection is selected text inside "some" table. So it's impossible do anything about text styles, etc.
Is AppleScript support in Pages ’09 really that limited, or am I missing something?

The first script below should return the character style of any selection made in Pages ’09, whereas the second script should apply the "XXX" character style to any selection:
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT 1
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
-- Show the format bar:
if not (pop up button 1 of window 1 exists) then
click menu item "Show Format Bar" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
end if
-- Show the styles drawer and character styles:
if menu item "Show Styles Drawer" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 exists then
keystroke "t" using {shift down, command down}
end if
tell front window
tell checkbox 1 of group 1 of drawer 1 -- “Show or hide character styles.” checkbox
repeat until it exists
delay 0.1 -- wait until the styles drawer is open
end repeat
if description is "show character style" then click
end tell
-- Get the row index (although it is not a property) of the character style:
tell menu button 2 -- “Choose a character style.” menu button
click
set k to 0
repeat
set k to k + 1
if value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" of menu item k of menu 1 exists then exit repeat
end repeat
keystroke return -- hide the menu
end tell
-- Get the character style name:
if k > 1 then set k to k + 1
value of static text 1 of row k of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of drawer 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT 1
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT 2
set myStyle to "XXX" -- the name of the character style you want to apply
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
-- Show the format bar:
if not (pop up button 1 of window 1 exists) then
click menu item "Show Format Bar" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
end if
-- Show the styles drawer and character styles:
if menu item "Show Styles Drawer" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 exists then
keystroke "t" using {shift down, command down}
end if
tell front window
tell checkbox 1 of group 1 of drawer 1 -- “Show or hide character styles.” checkbox
repeat until it exists
delay 0.1 -- wait until the styles drawer is open
end repeat
if description is "show character style" then click
end tell
set characterStyles to value of static text 1 of rows of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of drawer 1
set k to 0
repeat with thisStyle in the characterStyles
set k to k + 1
if thisStyle as text is myStyle then exit repeat
end repeat
-- Apply the character style:
if k > 1 then set k to k - 1
click menu button 2 -- “Choose a character style.” menu button
click menu item k of menu 1 of menu button 2
end tell
end tell
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT 2
I suppose that +paragraph styles+ should work the same.
I'm beginning to know Pages ’09 a little better now.

Why selecting text and hitting F1 doesn't go to specific help page anymore?

Hi. Up until a while ago I was able to, while working on some code, select a particular actionscript component such as a Class, function or property and hit the F1 key which would immediately bring up Adobe Help in my internet browser already showing the page relevant to my selection. For example, if I had selected the word "MovieClip" in my code and hit F1, the Adobe Help page describing the MovieClip class would come up, without me having to navigate to it.
Now (for some weeks actually), it no longer does that. When I hit F1, Adobe Help comes up in my browser, but opens at a general menu page regardless of what text I select, which in fact makes selecting text before hitting F1 redundant anyways.
Does anyone know anything about this?
It was so much more convenient before! Now I have to search for what I'm looking for every time. I'm learning on my own, so I find myself going to the Help pages quite often. At the end of the day, it sums up to be a lot of typing and searching and pages to navigate through. Also, it seems that navigating through the Adobe Help pages is kind of slow which just makes it even more of a drag.
I'd appreciate any information on this, or possibly some help in how to get things back to how they were.
Thanks!

IPad, Acrobat Reader, Content (text and pictures) no longer showing, just blank pages

Hi,
I have a user who successfully opened a .pdf attachment from outlook mail and then opened it in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and then edited it and moved it to a created folder.
Everything was working fine and the user highlighted text in the .pdf document too.
What then happened is when the user subsequently opened the file, the highlights were shown but not the content (text and pictures).
I checked they had the latest version via the apps store updates and noted there had recently been an update which had been applied.
I did check also in the diagnostics to see if there were any acrobat files, but there were none, I also turned on 'send diagnostics' in case this this will help in the future.
I rebooted the iPad by pressing and holding the power and home buttons until the apple logo appeared.
Checked again to see if I could view the .pdf content (it's around 8.5 MB file with 32 pages), still nothing showing apart from the yellow highlights that the user had done.
From within Acrobat Reader on the iPad I chose to open the file in iBooks to see if I could read it there. I could successfully open the file in iBooks and the front page thumbnail was showing (I did note that in Acrobat reader the thumbnail was white).
I found the email with attachment and opened it again in Acrobat Reader and it opens correctly, suggesting somehow the previous copy had become damaged? I have now saved this good copy over the top of the existing bad copy and all is OK except that the user has lost the highlights previously made.
Can you give me some idea of how this file has become broken in Acrobat Reader on the iPad and how I can avoid it happening again.
Many Thanks.

Thanks for replying.
This is the first time it has happened, the user has several folders containing files (on their iPad), (some .pdf's with additional highlights) these files are typically company agm board packs so contain pages of text and photo's too.
I put it down the fact that when I checked the app store for updates there had recently been an update and the user had not rebooted their iPad for some time, hence some of the underlying adobe reader files were perhaps between versions.
I don't know how you handle files when performing an update, do you close the app, flush files from memory and do a clean update?
I can confirm that the .pdf file had not been sent as an email attachment after having added the highlights.
Because the acrobat document contains so many pictures (32 pages and 8.5MB) when scrolling through it takes several seconds for some pages to appear, and others with text and pictures quite a while for the text to become sharp, I presume this is because the Acrobat Reader cannot open the 8.5MB file in one go and has to keep swapping it out of memory. Having reached the end if I scroll back to the beginning it takes 10's of seconds before the first page re-appears, otherwise it's just a white page. Interestingly in iBooks the pages appear almost immediately when viewing.
The iPad in question is model MD368B/A, 64GB, Software Version 7.1.1 (11D201) and has 28GB Memory available. Usage tells me Adobe Reader is taking 328MB and is version 11.3.1
I have just finally browsed back to recent documents, opened 2 or 3 other documents and then this one again (from recent) and it is now broken, just shows white pages (and on the thumbnail too) with my test highlights. so I can now apparently reproduce it.
Hope this all helps you re-produce

How to center title text and table across two columns

Hello,
I want to be able to center a table and its title across a two column page. The pages where I want to do this contain text in both columns or text in the left column and graphics in the right. On the same pages as the text and graphics, I'd like to center, across both columns, a table with a title. What is the best way to do this?
If I insert the table in the left column, I can size it to fit over both columns but I can't type directly into the cells that cover the right column (I can type in the cells covering the right column if I Tab to them but it's tedious and doesn't seem right). With the table's title, I've tried using the Across All Columns paragraph setting, but the text stays in the column the paragraph marker is in.
We are using Frame 8 on Windows XP Professional. The Master pages are Right and Left pages that are set up with two columns, both tagged as A with the Autoconnect feature on so that the text flows from the bottom of the left column to the top of the right.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Tim

Yes, equal-sized columns. No, they're always equal. And that answers
David's question: you're using two frames because you want unequal columns.
Frame's paragraph-level column controls only work on columns made by
dividing a single frame into two or more columns. So you're back to
square one: you need two frames because your columns are unequal; you
need one frame so you can span columns.
Another possibility is that you might set up your document with a
sidehead column, but I hesitate to recommend this because I still can't
quite envision what your layout looks like. Any chance you can post a
PDF somewhere?

Paste selected text AND images from a webpage to Pages/Word?

I'm a new Mac user (also running virtual Windows XP via vmware fusion), and I know next to nothing about my Mac. Please bear with me if this is something that has been answered (I looked, but didn't find a specific answer for my question...it may be here, but I can't find it).
On a Windows-based PC, all I need to do is select, copy, then paste into a Word document. All text and images would paste. I can't seem to figure out how to do that in Pages or Word (have MS Office for Mac, too).
Thanks for any help.

I suppose I was hoping I could do on my Mac, what I did on my Dell...that doesn't appear to be the case.
Specifically, I'm talking about clicking/dragging to select what I want (including images), opening a Word document then pasting everying, including ALL selected images. More specifically, at sites with game walkthroughs. I prefer to save them to a document and refer to them offline, if I need to. I actually tried it at 2 different sites (one that hosts their own images and one that does not), with the same results.
While I was waiting for a response (thank you, so much, by the way), I tried again and actually managed to get the first 3 images (of 60+) to paste into Word. There were blank places in Word, but the invisible images were clickable. In Pages, only the text pasted.
Tried it every which way, but Sunday, LOL, and nothing worked. If it can't be done on my Mac, then I'll just keep using my Dell (I knew there was a reason I decided to keep it) for that sort of thing and then email them to myself...or try installing my MS Office '07 under virtual Windows.
Thanks, again.

Is it possible to flip text and tables 90º on a page?

Hi, I am working on a blank template word processing document that I imported from Word. It is in a US letter page layout. I am working with tables and text, and would like a few of the pages to be rotated into a horizontal format, so that the tables and text are formatted in a vertical direction.
I can do this in Word via the text direction option, I was wondering if and how I can do this in Pages. Sorry if I'm unclear, I am not sure what to call the format. If you imagine a standard table flipped 90º on a page, and with the text flipped 90º as well, that is what I am wishing to achieve.
Thanks,
Walt

Page orientation is set on a per-document basis & you cannot have both in the same document. However, you can create the same effect using text boxes & other floating objects rotated 90 or 270 degrees.

Selected Text and Page Navigation

Okay.
Have a document that has several artboards in it. (kinda like a multipage document). Each page is similar, but some of the text boxes has variations from page to page. So if I am zoomed in on page 1 to one text box and I select some text, using the type tool, and then hit SHIFT-page down (or page up) to go to the next page, it won't. Switch to a different tool, and it works.
WHY? Why can't I use a keyboard short cut to jump to another page while in the type tool mode? I don't want to take my hand off the keyboard or move the mouse.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

The Shift Page shortcuts are not coming from the keyboard shortcuts panel. When I try to enter them says ai cannot use that, searching with artboard was no help either. Tried making an action, btu unfortuantley that did nto work either. I also chcked the system Preference for Keybaord, and could nto find the keyboard shorcut coming fomr there either.
In summary uopu can use home and end while inside text and the I beam is flashing, btu not page up or page down. That seems to be a hidden comand for goingf to next and previous artboard, so that will lwork without any text on the page.

Selecting text and scrolling in Tiger vs. Leopard.

Please forgive these very basic, verbose, questions.
I've noticed that Leopard does not allow me to select text the same way that Tiger did. With Tiger I could position the mouse cursor either to the left or to the right of the text, hold down the mouse button and move the cursor across the text. With Leopard I have to place the mouse cursor to the left of the text, click and then hold down the shift key and progessively add to the selection as I move the cursor from left to right. I much prefer the first technique. Is there any way to go back to it?
Also, scrolling a page in Safari is different. Tiger allowed me to place the cursor on the blue dingus on the right side of the page and hold the mouse key down and draw the dingus up or down. With Leopard I have put the cursor where I want to dingus to go, click and it jumps to that location. Again, I prefer Tiger to Leopard. Any way to restore Tiger's technique?

What you describe about the scroll bar (it's called the thumb, by the way) happens when you hold the option key down. However, if I hold the option key down, I can't replicate your first behavior.
I can't imagine your option key is stuck down because you'd be getting all kinds of weird characters when you type.
There is another thread where someone is having odd behavior like the shift key is held down. We don't seem to be getting anywhere with that one, though.

When I want to select text and/or pictures by doubleclicking it doesn't react

How can I solve this problem?

Hi
Please check if the text and image that you are selecting if they are on master page or they are behind some layer.
Thanks,
Sanjit
