Assign alert sound to foreign language input

I'm not a good typist, and I can not keep my eyes on the screen when I type.
I use English and Japanese input. Sometimes I type in wrong language and waste a lot of time.
Is there anyway to assign an alert sound when I start typing in the secondary language, so I know which input mode without checking the menu bar.

AFAIK, this is impossible.

Foreign language input on "Solaris 10"

Hello.
I installed "Solaris 10" via 5 CD's (minus the 6th, Languages CD).
My question is in what way can the GNOME desktop present an indicator of a language other than English?Via Preferences>Keyboard Layout I added Serbian, German and Bulgarian (it seems tha under my configuration four is the maximal number of languages I can add).The system did not reported any failure or error.
However, I do not know how to enable the keyboard to make inputs in Cyrillic alphabets (Serbian and Bulgarian) or in German latin.
There is no indicator present in the bottom panel, neither is one to be founded under items that may be added to the panel.
As you all know, even the feeblest of Linux distributions and all Windows distribution do provide a multilanguage support, available usually via icon that may be swithched or expanded into menu.I would be most surprised that a serious OS like Solaris would fail to provide such a simple solution to the needs of its users worldwide.
Thus I believe that the mistake is on a me: did I made a mistake by not selecting all those languages , or some of them (thinking that these are only files for regionalization of the GUI) or is there some other way, with or without the sixth CD, to establish an easy method for prompt switching among languages for keyboard input on the Solaris's GNOME-like desktop?
Can anybody of you could kindly explain me what is the issue here.
Thank you.

Thank you.serveral questions -
did you choose to install the locales you are referring to ?
if so, can you login to the terninal and choose one of those locales
and when you are in the gnome session, in the terminal if you
type echo $LC_ALL, it shows you the value for those locales ?
when typing xset q - what are the results - part of those results
shows the font path, and that is needed to be set for the fonts
to be found, though if locales are installed and you login to the
locale, that is set for you.
from that terminal can you input the characters of that locale, using
the key combinations that are needed ?
or could it be the 6th CD is needed, that it might have the locale info
and fonts for the locales you are referring to ?
Please send this addtional information when you can.

Foreign Language Input Help

I am not too sure if this is the sub forum to express this problem.
OK, I bought my phone in Singapore and obviously, the language settings would be in Chinese, English or Malay.
What if I want to add another language into my phone, eg: Thai? I was browsing through some Thai websites from my phone and I noticed all the Thai words became boxes instead of the normal Thai scripts.
Sometime I want to text message my Thai friends when I copy Thai scripts from my computer and try to load them into my phone. Is this possible if there is a way to make my phone read a language that it does not have?
Thanks.

You can ask a nokia care point to add languages to your phone. There may be a small charge for this service.

Foreign language input problem

Hi,
I was using the "ITABC" that goes with Mac OSX to input Chinese.
It worked pretty well until a few days ago. Now I cannot input Chinese into my computer anymore. Is there a way out?
Thank you very much!

. Now I cannot input Chinese into my computer anymore. Is there a way out?
Could you explain what happens when you try to do that in more detail? Does it affect all apps?
Try creating a new user and see if you have the same problem when logged into that.

Firefox freeze whenever tired to change language input

Hi. Whenever I tried to change language input to enter other languages Firefox freeze (program not responding).
It happens as soon as I hit alt+shift or when I click language bar to select other language.
It also happens with several languages (that I tested, might be all), and I tried various input software/mode including windows default, all freeze. Reset Firefox under help does not work either.
This issue occur with Firefox and Chrome, but not IE... Might not be Firefox problem as it happen w Chrome, but and ideas please? Thanks.
J
Edit:
* regedit might be changed, but do not believe touched internet setting.
* I can enter foreign language as long as I set that language to default, and do not change to other language in the language bar. Currently I am using foreign language input software as default, and switch to English input '''within '''that software.

Hi. karaoke I am not sure if its the same issue. The crash at language switch on my computer was due to the IME for Eastern Language Banks (Language option -> Detail under text services and input languages -> Properties -> reset/untick auto learn).
If you are not using Eastern Language IME... I am sure others here have more experience and can better help you. =)

Catalog id is not getting displayed properly in Foreign Language (French)

Hi All,
I have created a web service id for the external catalog and I have assigned the same to one of the user. The name of the web service id is getting displayed properly in the shopping cart creation screen when the language is English. But when we are changing the user language to Foreign language (French), the name is not getting displayed properly.
Could you please advise me if there any settings needs to be done in the parameters of the specific web service id. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Go to External Web Services and the select the web service ID. Then click on GOTO >Translation and select the language and enter the description of the web service as to be disaplyed while users log in French against the language.

Foreign language Invoice

I am using SAP B1 2007A version and would like to be able to invoice in other languages. I have setup in ADMIN/SYSTEM Initi/Company Details to enable Foreign Languages. So now I can go to a B/P and set is to another language e.g Spanish. It also gives me the Option in Items to Translate an Item Description into Spanish. Next step was to design a PLD which is set to SPANISH (in doc layout) and indeed it picks up the Spanish translation. (I have assigned the SPANISH PLD to the relevant BP)
However, if I follow the same logic for other fields, it does not seem to work:
1. I have translated Method of payment field and I am unable to pick the traslated version in the PLD. ( I used OPYM table and neither the Description field or Payment Method Code field seem to work). I have spoken to somebody who has SAP b1 2007 version B and told me that it works on his version?
2. Since option 1 did not work, I have created a UDF for method of Payment and translated this. However after placing this field to the SPANISH Pld report, it does not pick up the translation. B1 2007B seems to be OK but my versionA does not seem to work.
Does anybody know if this is a bug? Am I missing something in my setup?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
Robert

Hi Carlos
Sorry, I m not sure how I made this work but I think that it was related to the fact that if your Item is part of a Product Group then you need to ensure that the Group also has a Spanish Translation, otherwise all the Items which are part of this Group, will not show.

Using a foreign language with the Java I/O, and saving to flat file.

I want to use a foreign language in my program, in particular, russian. I want to be able to input the russian text into a GUI and then save the data in a flat file as well as retrieve it again. I am able to save some type of data to the flat file but it is unreadable. Question marks or some other unreadable characters appear instead.
I am also not able to write in a foreign font. Can someone give me some advice for how to input a foreign language into with a GUI, save the information in a flat file, and retrieve it again.

If you have got a String in Java somehow regardless of interior encoding mode, you can write it in a text file with an encoding you would like (e.g., UTF8).
//import java.io.*;
String str = "ABCEDFG";
try{
   BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("out.txt"),"UTF8"));
   bw.write(str);
   bw.close();
}catch(IOException ioe){
    //process
}

Xcode updating MySQL through phpScript in foreign languages

I've a code in xcode which runs a web link to execute phpScripts.
================================================================================ ====
NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.???.com/1.php?customerid=你好"];
// to execute php code
NSData *dataURL = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strURL]];
// to receive the returend value
NSString *strResult = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:dataURL encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
================================================================================ ====
The problem with this is, when I try to input a foreign language as the variable 'customerid', the script will not be executed. Only English will be understood and executed, every other languages with foreign characters will not be executed.
Please advise.

You can't put anything other than plain, 7-bit ASCII in source code. You are even more restricted in URLs.
A URL should live in a resource and it any high-order bytes should be encoded somehow.

Foreign Languages Not Working - Please Help!!

Summary:
I created a eCard application in Flash where a user can type in a message and a friend's name and email.
The card works perfectly for English and Latin characters, but is displaying NOTHING for Korean, Japanese, etc...
The text field is dynamic and the text is being pulled out of a database via php script that creates an XML on the fly.
All settings are set to UTF-8.
In the dynamic textfield, I have it set to embed all the specific character glyphs I need. IE. Korean, Japanese, etc..
Anyone have any clue why the foreign characters are not displaying?
Thanks,
DK

I'm not understanding your whole set up.
So they input the characters into an input text field? Do the characters show up there?
Then the file generates some XML that goes through PHP to a database.
And then back again to be displayed in a dynamic textfield?
At which point are the characters breaking? Are they getting to the database correctly? Is the database sending them out correctly?
I've been on these forums a long time and very often with this type of thing the UTF-8 formatting is getting lost. Really. People are absolutley sure they are using that and then at some step the find out that isn't actually the case. So check that very, very carefully. Really.
Beyond that I have heard occasionally that Flash under certain configurations has problems with some of the more unusually language input methods. I'm not sure of the details, but that would be a good place to look.

Can't reset alert sound on Mac Pro

Last night I set up my new Mac Pro. I reset the alert sound in system preferences, after setting the audio input and output to go through the Kona LHe card installed in the computer. But when I checked the alert sound in the menu bar, it was not the same sound I had set. I tried resetting the sound several times with no luck. Does a Kona card interfere with setting an alert sound of my own choosing? I tried having the alert sound go through the card as well as setting it to go through the internal speaker. Neither setting made any difference. It's a small annoyance but I would really like to hear the alert sound I desire.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Two 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2 gb RAM, Kona LHe card, 2 SATA 500 gb hard drives, 2 super drives

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of your Kona card?

Using foreign language spellchecking in iWork '08?

Hi there,
I'm using an English setup of Mac OS X and iWork '08, yet I occasionally create documents in foreign languages like German, French, Dutch and Spanish. How do I change the language of the spell check to the language I'm using at that particular moment?
thanks,
Tobias

I write in Latvian all the time and as far as I know, there are no proofing tools available in this language yet, and a limited number of fonts. Pages works much better than Word for Mac, in that once you have switched the flag to change the keyboard layout, it stays on what you have set it, whereas in Word, it kept resetting itself to American!
I know this doesn't answer the original question, but I thought it was an interesting input!!!
Thanks, KAtie

Alert sounds in Safari and other Mac OS products

I am a PC to Mac convert. I would like to find a list of the alert sounds so that I can see what my system is trying to tell me. I have seen the Library of sounds but it does not tell which sounds go with what alerts. Can someone please point me the right direction?
Thanks

The sounds themselves have no particular meaning, they alert you to when you make an error or when a dialog box appears in that active window. In the Finder, if you open Help and look for "alert sounds" in the Index, this is what it says:
*Adjusting your computer's sound volume*
You can change the volume of all sounds playing through your computer's speakers. You can also select a separate volume for alert sounds (sounds your computer makes when alert dialogs appear). And you can mute your computer's sound.
Obviously, that's kind of vague, but that's the only description they provide. But there is a third-party "hack" that lets you assign specific sounds to specific actions in Mac OS X. You can download a free trial of Xsounds here. There are a variety of sound sets you can download that have already been pre-configured for the action they correspond to. If you like it, it's only $12, so why not try it?

Auto Speech Alignment for foreign language dubbing

I just watched the excellent "How to use Auto Speech Alignment in Audition" video on Adobe TV, and noticed that he mentions that ASA can be utilized to add foreign language dubs to a video. I find myself in that very process at the moment, and would really like to hear how ASA can help, but all the video mentions is the fact that it supposedly can.

I suggest also using the "Comments" section for the page that the video is on as well. This may get more eyes here, but it _should_ get the eyes of the video's producer there.
Anyways, the technology, does use spectral information in getting the alignment. This is how it can achieve better results sometimes when compared to older existing technologies for automatic alignment. For example, a waveform envelope may not be able to tell sibilance from a vowel sound when comparing an overdub vs the original field audio. However, this is easy when looking at the spectral information and it can achieve a tighter alignment for that.
That is, of course, assuming that the same words are being spoken in a similar way between the two clips.
As for two different languges, I think it is a "Your Mileage May Vary" situation. I think the intent of the suggestion is probably hoping that this feature can save you time if you wanted to get better lip-sync. However, one can easily imagine that if the dubbed audio is stretched or squeezed too far that it (A) won't sound natrual, but more importantly (B) disrupts the performance of the voice actor. On the other hand, if it is just doing micro adjustments it can make the timing better match that of the original mouth movements because it is making it match the timing of the original audio.
I would suggest people with actual real-world content to try it out and preferebly post a video of your results (either positive or negative). That would be a good way to further the discussion.

Foreign Language and Keyboarding

Hi All
The iPhone's system is the Mac OS X. I currently have my laptop setup with four foreign langauge input -with their respective characters- thus I can type in English, Spanish, Cherokee and Thai. Same input, fortunately. throughout my system i.e. TextEdit, Pages, Mail, Address Book, et al.
Has anyone the same experience using the iPhone? Keyboard Viewer available with respective characters?
Thanks,
Jerry

iPhone input and user interface is English only so far. See these notes:
