Chinese Text

I'm having trouble pasting chinese text from an Microsoft Excel document. How do I make the chinese characters appear in the InDesign document?

Bob's suggestion will (likely ) work because copying and pasting doesn't preserve the original font, and placing (InDesign's lingo for what everyone calls "importing") does.
This actually happens because the font you have selected in InDesign doesn't contain any Chinese characters, so you can also solve it by applying a font that does.

Chinese text in Indesign CS3

Hi,
I have a computer (WXPSP3 EN) with Adobe Creative Suite CS3 (incl. InDesign) installed. Now the user has a problem with Chinese text, he never used before. He got a Word file with the translation English => Chinese and copied the text from Word to InDesing :-)
The text is not displayed. It seems that there is a font missing, is this possible? Do I need a special InDesign font for Chinese text? If yes, which one? A link would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm using chinese text, too, for the chinese version of the german/english user guides I'm creating.
For me it never was a problem. You probably need to know this:
1. In general, you need to install support for CJK (chinese, japanese, korean) language on Windows
(Word may display the text without the support installed because it can embed fonts into .doc files)
2. If you then copy text from Word to Indesign, it should be displayed correctly, whereas Indesign manages a list of substitution fonts for this situation
If 2. does not work, you could try to replace the font in Word first by, for example, SimSun (of the chinese Windows fonts). Of course only if simplified chinese is used.
Then copy and paste should. At least it does for me in CS2 and CS4.

Chinese text while downloading to excel

Hello Everyone,
I have one alv report in which text is coming into Chinese language.
When i download my alv data to excel, chinese text is getting converted into #### characters.
Anyone having idea how to download the chinese text from alv into excel.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tarun

Hi,
When you download in Excel, the character formats are taken from the Front end, besure that the chinese font is installed in your system, i.e. you OS should support the lanagugae format you are downloading to.
Hope It Helps

Please check with your basis that your output device support print Chinese character. Or, you can search more in forum, there are a lot of threads about print Chinese and other Unicode characters in form.

How to read chinese text in Quickoffice

I wish to know if there is any plugin that allows me to read chinese text (preferably in UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding) in Quickoffice.
There also don't seemed to be a free ebook reader that supports both english and chinese encoding.
Anyway knows anything at all, please help. Thanks

Use Read_text function module.
you need to pass
ID
LANGUAGE
NAME
OBJECT to the function moduel
To find the Text id name language and object these are the following steps. Example: FB02
1. goto FB02, Enter Document number
2. from menuselect Goto>Header-->header Text..... New window will be displayed
3. select the Header Text. here you can see all the text.
4. click on the TEXT (which you want to know the Text id) , then press log ICON (you can find in bottom right of the text window) it looks like a rolled paper.
5. in the Next window you will find Text Name. Text ID, Language. etc...

Display Chinese Text in Form 6i

Hi,
I am trying to put Chinese text on forms under Form 6i and allow users to enter double-byte Chinese characters.
But Form 6i cannot display the Chinese text that I entered. A double-byte Chinese text is always displayed as '?' in the Form.
I have changed all NLS_LANG registry entry to be AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII in all three my Windows 98/NT/2000 English PCs. The problem still can't be solved.... 8-(
I uses Chinese Star to allow me to enter Chinese characters.
Can someone enlight me on this issue?
Thanks!

Hi :
1) change your NLS_LANG registry entry to be SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK
2) open the Chinese Star
3) run your application
I think this will solve this problem.

How do I copy and paste Chinese text into InDesign CC?

I am having difficulty copying and pasting pre-translated Chinese text into InDesign.
Many of the characters are coming up as boxes in the majority of Chinese fonts offered in CC.
马修斯旅游大巴租赁公司
爱尔兰和英国之旅
translates as
Font used above is Apple LiSung
I have tried to import via Apple Text Edit and format stripped the text.

That's happening because you have Simplified Chinese text, and are attempting to use a Traditional Chinese font.
Ellis suggests a well-made Adobe font with Trad support. If you pull down your font dropdown and scroll towards the end, you'll find fonts split into categories according to language support. The one with Apple LiSung is the Simplified category, and the one with Adobe Fangsong is the Trad category. Pick any font from that category - but know that the style of font you pick in Chinese means as much as the style of font you pick in English, and if you don't know what the conventions are, you may well choose one not entirely suited to your audience. (One of my translators likened the Chinese font choices of monolingual Anglo designers to "seeing the body text of my How To Use Your Health Care Benefits brochure laid out in Rosewood.")

How to display/input/write Chinese Text in java

Dear All,
I am trying to make a very simple java program, where I am trying to display Chinese characters. I am trying to save them into a file (for now, later into db2). However, I seem to make no progress at all.
I am completely lost with this one. I have googled and gone through a lot of sites like :
http://www.mandarintools.com/javaconverter.html
http://www.chinesecomputing.com/programming/java.html
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=442220&messageID=1995079
http://www.linuxforum.net/chinese/develop/java.html
I have downloaded the cyberbit.ttf into /jre/lib/fonts and updated the fonts.properties also.
I have tried to compile with two different encoding options big5 and gb2132 as well.
I have also tried to pick up a few unicodes from a site and tried .. for ex.
String s = "\U+0061";but this results in Illegale Escape Char. exception.
All I am trying to do is use a String reference, feed it with Chinese text, which again I copied from a site, and then display it on the console. Or even write it to a file.
I am lost in the maze of Unicode, UTF -8 etc.
I would be really glad if someone could lead me out of this.
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,

Hi,
So I tried to actually start working on the web app where this change is intended.
I copied a chinese String from a website (pasted it in Word, and it pasted fine).
Pasted it in the text box and saved this field. The value appears gibberish in db2 ( I am sure the tables arent specified for UTF-8).
My app doesnt use any contentType or characterEncoding either.
Then when I retrieve this value, it comes as exact same gibberish as in DB.
But, behold, when I change the encoding (view -> encoding -> chinese (GB2312)) It displays the exact String that was inserted :-)
Then I add these lines in my Jsp.
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=GB2312" %>
request.setCharacterEncoding("GB2312"); .
so that I can make that chinese GB2312 as the default option. It does that. (The default was Western European (ISO).
However now, it displays question marks (????) in that field.
What options can I have ?
TIA

Your searches should have also come up with the fact that CR XI R2 is not supported in .NET 2008. Only CR 2008 (12.x) and Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (10.5) are supported in .NET 2008. I realize this is not good news given the release time line, but support or non support of cr xi r2 in .net 2008 is well documented - from [Supported Platforms|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7081b21c-911e-2b10-678e-fe062159b453

Failing that, you will have to move to a supported environment...
