Detection of keyboard language in WES 2009

Hello
I require information on language detection of the keyboard by the operating system. Without manually selecting the country in System how OS will detect if keyboard of some different country is connected?
Eg: Swedish keyboard is connected and language in OS is English
Please reply
Thank you

There is no automation that I am aware of. The keyboard simply sends scan codes to the computer. The operating system with local language set translates the scan codes to the local language. In the case of the Swedish keyboard to OS English, the translation
will be to English. Some of the keys might be in different locations that a English keyboard. Manually setting the language has to be preformed.

    As for detecting key input, you can add a keydown/keydown event to the document quite easily.

  • Get Keyboard language changes... Is it possible?

    Hi there,
    I was developing a command line app which runs in background, but i found some difficulties related to keyboard language...
    I need to know when the user changes the keyboard language (with international menu).
    I tried with TISCopyCurrentKeyboardInputSource() defined in Carbon.h, but it always returns the same keyboard language when my app runs in bg.
    What i need now is a command line app which run in bg and write to a file each language change... Is it possible???
    Thanks!!, and please help

    Hi,
    my app is not a key logger, and it does not run exactly in background. What i mean is that it runs into a while(true). My objective is to detect the changes of language and register it, and use this information in other external app. When i launch the function stand alone (not into a loop), it works perfectly, but when it runs into a loop, it always return the same language...
    Does Carbon have any special environment? Perhaps there are some incompatibilities when running Carbon TIS in command line applications...
    Thanks!

  • I get redirected to a different site based either on my locale, keyboard language or product language. How can I prevent this from happening

    There are several sites that I access where I type in www.xxxxx.com or support.mozilla.com expecting to get the American site but due either to my "locale" which is set to Germany or my "Keyboard Language" which is set to German, I get automatically redirected to the German site. As all my software is in English but I have a German Laptop, I wish to go to the English sites. Conversely there are sites where I type in www.xxxx.de wishing to go to the German site, but get re-directed to the UK Site because my software is in English. Many of these sites then allow you to chose the country you want thereby correcting this behaviour, but unfortunately there are a host of sites whose programmers have not foreseen the need for this and the sites are thus unreachable. An example of this is www.proidee.de which automatically redirects me to the UK Site.
    What I am looking for is some way to prevent these sites from imposing their will over my decisions. I see this as a direct infringement of my rights.

    Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
    * [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
    * [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]

    * [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
    If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

  • Getting an error in KPI Modeler as "{"customMessage":"failed to detect the sap language of the current session language","status":500}"

    Hi Experts,
    We have installed UISKPI01 in SAP NetWeaver Gateway System for Fiori Analytical Apps (KPI modeler is necessary to model the KPI) but while trying to create and Save the Group, we are Getting an error in KPI Modeler as "{"customMessage":"failed to detect the sap language of the current session language","status":500}". Similarly, when we are trying to edit the existing KPI template and assigning the Variants and Evaluations, we are facing the same error as failed to detect the sap language of the current session language","status":500.
    Any idea on above error?
    Thanking you,
    ~ Mahendra

    Hello Mahendra,
    Check if you have entries in the T002 table of SAP_SSB schema.
    If not follow the steps mentioned in the admin guide of SAP Smart business to populate data.
    This should resolve this issue.
    Note: My assumption is that, you are accessing the KPI modeler in English Language.
    Thanks,

  • Keyboard language changed only in Firefox not other programmes

    I have Firefox in English but I use a Spanish keyboard, meaning some keys like question marks or quotation marks are in different places, there are accents, a key for ç, etc. It has always worked normally but today, while the keyboard is working correctly with all other programmes in Firefox it works as if the settings were changed to an English (I think) keyboard.
    I don't have that problem with Chrome though, it's just Firefox. How is that possible (add question mark here, I can't guess what key I'im supposed to use for it).
    I haven't changed anything in the settings, so the only possibility could be some kind of shortcut I've accidentally pressed, even though I don't know how that's even possible, as I assumed you can't have several keyboard language settings selected at the same time depending on the programme you're using.
    I type in different languages so this is terribly annoying! Thanks for any help.

    It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident by using the key sequence to rotate the layout.
    * http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
    Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
    * http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
    Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
    * You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
    * Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
    * You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application
    * The default key combination to rotate the layout is the Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift combination that is used in Firefox for menu items, so it is quite possible to change the layout accidentally.
    * To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
    * Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

    My question is I want to buy MacBook Pro special specifications but found several languages ​​at the option of the keyboard I want a picture if you choose the keyboard language is Arabic as well please, I want a picture of the plate you include the keyboard letters in Arabic, English or Arabic only together?

    The only photo I could find of a 'genuine' Apple Arabic keyboard (NOT a keyboard cover/skin):
    It's from an older MacBook, it looks like, but I imagine that the MacBook Pro keybaord would be similar.

  • IPhone SMS - request for additional keyboard language

    I live in South Africa .
    Vodacom has rolled out the 3G iPhone here through Vodafone.
    I am writing to you as one of 3 million+ people who speak Afrikaans.
    Please can you add Afrikaans to the iPhone keyboard language ?
    I write all my smses in Afrikaans and am forced to switch off the keyboard language , as Afrikaans isnt there. This is very frustrating and I would love to be able to type as fast on a iPhone as advertised. Ive seen the video showing how great the iPhone keyboard works but can unfortionately not experiance it for myself.
    Please Apple , hear my cry .. Add Afrikaans to your iPhone Language selection in future updates.

  • Unwanted keyboard language switch when Firefox/Thunderbird is selected

    Here is a problem that I think I've had in the past, but I just can't recall how I resolved it, or find any references to it in the forum archives:
    Recently I reconfigured the keyboard language input menu because I switched to a different keyboard; it now has U.S. Extended, Norwegian and a 3rd map that I've defined myself. I can mostly switch quite all right between these (and the one I've defined myself works, too), but I have one very annoying problem:
    Whenever I select a Mozilla Firefox or Thunderbird window, the language setting switches to U.S. Extended (if a different one was selected.) That is, if I work in a different application with e.g. my custom map selected, then start Firefox, I notice that the flag icon changes and that I get the US layout. I can then switch back to a different one and work with the corresponding layout in Firefox. If, however, I raise another application's window, then go back to Firefox, I find that language is once again set to U.S. Extendended. The same thing happens with Thunderbird.
    Any idea what is wrong?

    I haven't read your code, but can make a guess at what's going wrong. Checkboxes do behave in a weird manner depending upon whether you have selected one or many.
    Assuming this is the statement where you are generating the checkbox :
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkBoxName" value="<%= someValue %>">
    What you could do is read the checked checkBoxes in an array :
    String[] values = request.getParameterValues("checkBoxName");
    int sizeOfValues = values.length;
    Then use the sizeOfValues to perform your delete action :
    if (sizeOfValues==1)
         performDelete();
    else
         for (int i=0; i<sizeOfValues(); i++)
              performDelete();
    Hope this technique works.

  • Mac Mini 2011 Server Won't Detect Bluetooth Keyboard

    Hi all,
    My new Mac Mini Server (2011) with Lion preinstalled is causing my some headaches and it is barely out of the box. I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard and a third-party bluetooth mouse. I unpaired both from my Macbook Pro and then tried switching the MBP's bluetooth off and even turning off the whole **** machine. In the mean time, the Mac Mini's Setup Assistant could not find my keyboard, but it did find my mouse. I tried putting fresh batteries in my keyboard and everything looks fine since even my iPad can "see" the keyboard is active. However, because Setup Assistant cannot detect the keyboard, I cannot get past the Setup stage (and hopefully try fiddling with the bluetooth settings). I am compleetly stuck on the page where one has to input an Admininstor's password for the server. A mouse alone cannot get me past this part. Can anyone please please help me?
    Denis

    Start the mini looking for the keyboard then turn the keyboard off and on again (worked for me)
