Contacts (ip 4, ios 5, chinese language setting, icloud):

after using ios 5, all newly created or edited contacts cannot be sorted (apple uses alphabetical order) together with all other contacts, but started it's own listing at the bottom. strange...
eg, added "leo". but it cannot be listed together with other names starting with "L", but started to be under "L" after the normal "Z" names...
it's made the management quite messy.

Ok. So after too much of a fight with the iPhone, here is what i think got back the contacts on my phone.
Step 1: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch off everything.
Step 2: Go back to main setting page.
Step 3: Make sure you see "Inactive" under iCloud.
Step 4: Hit the home button
Step 5: Close iTunes and start it back up.
Step 6: Unplug your iPhone from the computer and plug it back in.
Step 4,5,6 is to make sure you are starting a new session.
Step 7: Sync iTunes.
Step 8: Check your contacts. They should have come back up
Step 9: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch on everything.
Choose the option "merge" when you get it.

Nokia 5300 chinese language setting missing

My phone is Nokia 5300 Express Music. The first time i'm using Nokia PC Suite, going to update some software. The software is firewall update. After updated, i realized my phone language setting is changed. Chinese and Malay language is gone and others language like romana, deutsch and something else was appear. I think maybe is the software updated so the language setting also changed. So i might need help to change the language setting back to chinese cause i need chinese language to use for my phone book in chinese words.
Anyone is know about any software to help me fix my problem???
Hope to hear some good advice and help from nokia supporter.
Thanks & Regard!

Your phone was intended for sale in a part of the world other than where you are. The importer/retailer installed the appropriate language packs for you but didn't tell you that this was the case. If you have a gripe against anyone, it's against the importer/retailer.
We can't direct you to the Nokia care points for your country because we don't know what your country is. What you can do is go to http://www.nokia.com and follow directions to support for your country from there.

restart your computer
open your cc app, click settings>preferences>apps>change langauge to english if it's not already. close preferences then download and install via the cc app.

Hello JinxUK,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iCloud Control Panel. I found an article referencing the error message you are getting:
“Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.”
Apple is investigating this issue. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
iCloud: iCloud Control Panel setup cannot be started

I recommend saving that link so that you can check back for a resolution when it becomes available.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

[BUG] Editing contacts with italian language set

This behaviors happens only when WebOS is set to Italian language:
1) when editing an existing contact, it shows up as a blank one, as if I was creating a new contact from scratch. Actually, the contact data is there, but somehow hidden! When changing it (so, actually, writing back from scratch), it does change, but can't see the original contents.
2) When creating a new contact, I can't add a phone number, while I can add other items (email, address, URL, etc). Saving it and then editing it, goes back to point 1. Thus, the only way to save a phone number is dialing it, then saving it from the Phone app.
I have an European GSM Pre, WebOS 1.4.1

First, when you do create a new contact (in Italian), what happens when you try to type in the Phone Number field? Does the cursor appear, or is the field grayed out? Does nothing happen when you tap on the "+ New Phone Number ..." field?
As long as I tap it, the field become dark grey, as it was somehow activated, but when I release my finger it comes back to normal and I can't type in it (no cursor).
Besides that, I can add a new contact. Other fields are working fine, but in the Email address and IM address field, the cursor doesn't appear on the very left (beginning) of the field. It stays almost in the middle, as it's keeping room for a button, and actually if I click on the left, it pops up something like an empty list or menu. Besides this glitch, I can edit those fields.
By the way, the phone number field is the only one that is 2 lines long (in italian). I don't know if this means something, but maybe this screws the interface up.....
Second, what happens if you change your language selection from Italian to English, then try to edit an existing contact? Are you able to see existing text then?
Yes; it works perfectly.
Also, try creating a new contact with your language selection set to English. Are you able to enter a phone number at that point? How about editing a contact created with language set to English while still set to English. Can you see existing data within the contact editing screen?
Yes, everything works fine, as long as english (US) language is set.
Next, switch back to Italian and view the contact created under English. Can you edit existing information without it blanking out?
I can't see the existing information; I can't edit any phone number obviously, because the field can't be activated. If I try to overwrite data by writing on those field that I know they contain data, it doesn't work: name of the contact doesn't change, and editing the email address (ie. writing it back from scratch) adds another address.
Hope this helps,
Stefano

UTF8 character set conversion for chinese Language

Hi friends,
Would like to some basic explanation on UTF8 feature,what does it help while converting the data from chinese language.
Would like to know what all characters this UTF8 will not support while converting from chinese language.
Thanks & Regards
Ramya Nomula

Not exactly sure what you are looking for, but on MetaLink, there are numerous detailed papers on NLS character sets, conversions, etc.
Bottom line is that for traditional Chinese characters (since they are more complicated), they require 4 bytes to store the characters (such as UTF-8, and AL32UTF8). Some mid-eastern characters sets also fall in this category.
Do a google search on "utf8 al32utf8 difference", and you will get some good explanations.
e.g., http://decipherinfosys.wordpress.com/2007/01/28/difference-between-utf8-and-al32utf8-character-sets-in-oracle/
Recently, one of our clients had a question on the differences between these two character sets since they were in the process of making their application global. In an upcoming whitepaper, we will discuss in detail what it takes (from a RDBMS perspective) to address localization and globalization issues. As far as these two character sets go in Oracle, the only difference between AL32UTF8 and UTF8 character sets is that AL32UTF8 stores characters beyond U+FFFF as four bytes (exactly as Unicode defines UTF-8). Oracle’s “UTF8” stores these characters as a sequence of two UTF-16 surrogate characters encoded using UTF-8 (or six bytes per character). Besides this storage difference, another difference is better support for supplementary characters in AL32UTF8 character set.
You may also consider posting your question on the Globalization Suport forum which pertains more to these types of questions.

The general language setting for my Ipad is simplified Chinese, but my appstore is all in korean

the language setting for my ipad is simplified chinese, but the appstore are all in korean, what's wrong with my ipad 2? and how can I fix it?

Sounds like your Apps Store is set to the wrong country for the AppleID you are using on your iPad. You need to go to the Apps Store on your Computer, and then scroll down to the very bottom of the screen. There you will see a little flag button. Click on it, and select the flag for the correct country. That should fix your issue.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

How to change the language setting in Adobe Flash CS6, from Chinese to English?

How to change the language setting in Adobe Flash CS6, from Chinese to English?

Unless you have a multilanguage serial/ installer, you are on Creative Cloud or care to run through language swap you can't. Retail serial numbers are language specific and most Adobe apps cannot be coerced or switched on the fly since without the proper language resources installed, this won't work...

Language setting for windows live account security - keep receiving chinese communication when my account is in English

I keep receiving important security emails from [email protected] in Chinese language when my language selection is in English.
Can someone help to advise me what setting do I need to change to correct this? Thanks

1. Go to https://account.live.com/proofs/Manage
2. Scroll down and set your language to EN-US > Save
3. Under "Security info helps keep your account secure," remove your current email address and re-add it.
(You may have to use a temp email account if you only have one email address for receiving security related emails from Microsoft.)

Chinese language pack on English-language Nokia E7...

I'm based in Manila and just bought a Nokia E72 cellphone here locally in the Philippines. The unit is labeled E72-1.
I needed a cellphone which can display Chinese-language (both Traditional & Simplified Chinese) characters.
Unfortunately, this E72 I bought here only has the English language.
I've read that the Nokia E72 in Hong Kong / Taiwan / Singapore can display both English and Chinese language.
Is it possible to have the Nokia E72 add a Chinese language pack to display Chinese characters? I really need the Chinese display capability since I regularly have contacts who send me important SMS messages with Chinese characters.
If it's not possible to add the Chinese character display capability, I may be forced to let go of this Nokia E72 and perhaps have to order it instead from Hong Kong (or perhaps Taiwan or Singapore) where I presume the Nokia E72 there will have the English + Chinese display capability built-in.
Although not as important as the Chinese-display capability, I would also like if it could have Chinese language input capability installed on this E72. Is this also possible?
Note that I don't need the phone system menus/commands to be displayed in Chinese language (and actually prefer them to be English language). I only need the phone to display/input Chinese characters in the SMS messages.
Please advise so that I can make a decision as soon as possible, whether to let go of this locally-bought E72 with only English language and instead procure a unit from abroad with the Chinese language display (and input) capability.

I'd like to add some more information which may or may not be exactly useful for those who have the same issue as mine:
Adding as much Chinese as possible on the E72 without Chinese language pack:

Mobile dictionary language packages Translate words into the language of your choice. Add new languages to your pre-installed Mobile dictionary application from Mobile dictionary download page >>Text-to-Speech language packages and voice packages
Let your phone read your messages out loud with Text-to-speech, a tool which allows you to listen to text messages, multimedia messages, and emails. To utilize your Message Reader application download language packages and voice packages at the Text-to-speech page >>
1) Using the above page, one can download Chinese dictionary (Traditional and Simplified Chinese versions available).
It seems that after installing both dictionaries for the Mobile Dictionary application, I can fire up the Mobile Dictionary app and choose Target language to Traditional and Simplified Chinese. The Traditional Chinese characters don't seem to display (some characters display while others are "square boxes"; but the Simplified Chinese characters appear to display correctly.)
So, it appears that the dictionary app can display Chinese characters (at least Simplified Chinese) after installing, although the SMS messages still display "square boxes" where there are Chinese characters.
2) Download Chinese [Mandarin] (or Chinese [HK]) language text-to-speech. Now even though the E72 doesn't display Chinese characters (they show up as square boxes), I can use the msg reader to read those "square boxes" messages and it will read them in Chinese. So at least, that's one way of having Chinese read back to you although the characters themselves can't be displayed. (Set Language Detection to "On" in the Speech settings so it automatically recognizes Chinese; or one could also set the Voice Language to Mandarin Chinese so that even the voice prompts are read in Mandarin Chinese -- however, if Language Detection is set to "Off", it will try to read English SMS messages as per Chinese pinyin -- ie. incorrectly.).
One bug I notice is that for Chinese character email messages (Nokia Messaging). If I set my Language to English, but set the Speech setting of Language Detection to "On", and then activate the "Listen/Read" email messages, then the Msg Reader will hang up the phone. I had to use a utility called JBakTaskman to forcefully close Msg Reader (if don't have JBakTaskman, then have to turn off the phone and turn it back on). So it looks like while the Language Detection can auto-detect Chinese characters in SMS messages and read them properly in Chinese, it seems to hang up in Email Messages.

Chinese Language Support Package ?

When users try to open my distributed forms using Adobe Reader 9 they get an alert box which states:
'You need to install the Traditional Chinese Language Support Package to view or fill in this form. If you continue without installing this package the form will not work correctly'
Is there anything within LiveCycle Designer which can be changed to prevent this message from appearing when users try to open the form ?
Here is the script of my form, I have very little experience of Java Script but I cannot see any ref. to Chinese ?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated......

Were you ever able to solve this???? I am having the same issue!

Updated 5230 firmware - lost Chinese language supp...

Hi,
I live in China and bought a 5230 last week.
When I bought it the languages supported were English, Malay, and Chinese (both simplified & traditional)
I updated the software/firmware yesterday using the Nokia Software Updater, and now the fonts, etc look much better than before...but the languages on the phone have changed to English, French, Portuguese and Arabic (I think its Arabic, but I can't understand what it says).
Any Chinese Characters that were on my phone are now displayed as little boxes, and I can't type Chinese in an SMS.
When I bought my phone, the shop told me the phone was from Hong Kong...but I dunno how true this is.
How can I get Chinese language support back on my phone and keep the new user-friendly look and feel?
Thanks!

Sadly the shop you bought it from has sold you a modified import. They import them from elsewhere then modify the firmware to include the regional languages. This process also voids the warranty.
When the phone is updated it rightly defaults back to the set of languages that it should have originally been installed on it.
To get Chinese back on the phone you will either have to contact the retailer that sold it to you or a nokia care point. You can find details of your nearest care point via the "contact us" link near the top of the page.
Any other unofficial ways of adding languages that you may read about on other forums cannot be discussed here.

Window 8.1 Chinese character cannot display properly in a game even though I have downloaded and install all chinese language packs

Hi,
The operation system for my computer is Window 8.1. I am currently trying to install a chinese game. Even though I have downloaded and install all the chinese language pack, I have even set the regional language locale to chinese (similified / traditional),
the chinese characters will not display properly in the game. Some people told me i need to set the locale to Chinese PRC, but I am not sure where to download this PRC language pack for window 8.1 (as I only have chinese simplified and chinese traditional).
I would greatly appreciate if someone can give me a hand in solving this problem. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,
Please open Region, under administrative -> Language for non-Unicode programs: choose Chinese.
