RT Multilingual Support

Hi,
I am trying to understand the way to develop a multilingual application for the LabVIEW RT Target. RT application will be developed in English using LabVIEW RT and will be distributed in several other languages including Asian languages.
Typically application will read some local language text from the target instrument and will validate the format and values. To do this application should parse the text available in different languages and should manage point and comma decimal separator based on local language convention.
RT has inbuilt support to do these things? Thanks for any input.
Thanks,
Venky

Hi Venky,
Developing multilanguage applications is discussed in this tutorial. It describes how to localize front panels, run time menus, etc. It also describes as to what is needed to create multilingual applications. With regards to your question, LabVIEW does not support inbuilt functions that validate the language as well as parse the text, as described in the tutorial. I hope this helps.

Multilingual fields in same database

Hi Members
We are developing a multilingual application with dot net and oracle version 8i or higher. Our requirement is such that there would be only few varchar fields which would be stored in other languages. Apart from that all rest of the fields would always be english. I had a couple of questions for the same
1. Would there be any environment level changes required to be done on oralce server
2. What configuration needs to be done to oralce database
3. Is it possible that the database has the english settings and only the fields which need to be stored in other language will have different settings. I have read about nchar and nvarchar datatypes. Will keeping these datatypes be the only thing required and not other settings would be required to change.
Hope my question is clear.
Anticipating help from the experts.

- Trying to support Oracle versions 8i and higher is rather broad. That encompasses 8 major releases-- 8.1.5, 8.1.6, 8.1.7, 9.0.1, 9.2.0, 10.1.0, 10.2.0, and 11.1.0 at the moment. So you would either have to limit yourself to the functionality available in 8.1.5, which is comparatively quite limited, or maintain different code for different database releases. Since 9.2 is no longer in Premier Support and 8i was depricated a long time ago, I'd strongly suggest reconsidering that requirement.
- Particularly if you want to support ancient versions of Oracle like 8.1.5, I'd suggest putting everything in VARCHAR2 fields and not touching NCHAR/ NVARCHAR2 fields if you can avoid it. This will require choosing a database character set that supports all the languages the database will need to support-- I'd generally suggest choosing Unicode (UTF8 or AL32UTF8). That may have to depend on the database version-- AL32UTF8 wasn't available in 8.1.5 and I believe that the old UTF8 character set was depricated before 11.1.
- Column length will likely be an issue. UTF-8 is a variable length character set, so characters require between 1 and 3 bytes (1 and 4 bytes in AL32UTF8). And prior to 9i, VARCHAR2 fields could only be specified in bytes. So if you want to store an arbitrary 30 characters, you'd need to declare a VARCHAR2(90) or VARCHAR2(120) column. But that would then allow you to store 90 or 120 English language characters.
- Depending on the specifics of the particular driver and API you intend to use, there may be some configuration that needs to be done on the client side to ensure that the NLS_LANG is set appropriately.

Multilingual pdf font gets changed.

Hi all,
I have an issue on one multilingual pdf. We developed a multilingual pdf on reports6i. We set the fonts of all the labels and fields to arial(8).We had a
field which will display either chinese or english data.
We had a format trigger on this field. If the blength is not equal to length we set the font to "times new roman".
We had font subsetting. The configuration of the uifont.ali is like this. We aliased "times new roman" to SimSun in the global aliasing section. We had pdf subsetting for SimSun(SimSun="SIMSUN.TTF"). We compiled this rdf in a reports 9i. The pdf report generated by this configuration is perfectly allright.
But when we try to edit this pdf by changing any label value that field also gets subsetted. For example: If we change a field for whoom the font is set arial(8) from mtd to method That field also gets subsetted to simsun font. All fields that we change are subsetted to simsun font irrespective of whether subsetting is intended or not.
More over all new reports that we create (win XP env) have all fields subsetted.
This ofcourse is a big sad story. Let me brief the problem. All reports that we create( builder 6 or 7) what ever font we set, All the label and fields are getting subset.(subset configuration in uifont.ali is only for SimSun,SimSun=SIMSUN.ttf).
pls give any ideas.

Hi navneet,
But when we try to edit this pdf by changing any label value that field also gets subsettedi actually meant to say rdf.
More over all new reports that we create (win XP env) have all fields subsetted. font subsetting is only for simsun. In the pdf-subset option we have put simsun=simsun.ttf. Times new roman is substituted to simsun in the global section of the uifonts.ali file.
When we open the rdf we get different fonts in different pcs. We tried in xp , 2000 pcs. In one pc all fonts are shown as arial unicode. In some pc it is shown as simsun. But when ever we edit a label that label alone gets subsetted. The rest remains the same.
what ever reports that we develop newly .. have all data subsetted. no clue why this is happening.
thanks in advance .. thanks for your attention.

Multilingual Datawarehouse using Oracle

We need to develop a multilingual data warehouse using Oracle. All the text data can be in Arabic and English. I know that unicode is to be used and that I have a choice between unicode database and unicode datatypes but need more information beyond that since all dimension values which are added dynamically could be in either language. The end users might want to toggle between either language. What are the options I have?

Do you really need Unicode ..because some of the Arabic character sets already contain the 7 bit ASCII characters .
For example such as the Oracle character set AR8MSWIN1256 . definition here .

Oracle Reports - Multi lingual pdf - jvm error

Hi all,
We are trying to develop a multilingual pdf report in oracle reports 9i. When we do font subsetting or embedding we get the error:
stackpointer=3bb03200
JVMXM004: JVM is performing abort shutdown sequence
this error is consistent for font embedding, but for subsetting this error comes randomly. We are unable to find out any pattern of the error. Can any one pls give us an update on this.

1) Please try in latest patchset 9.0.2.3
2) There is recently a very similar bug logged on the issue by a customer ( do not know whether it is by you :-))
BUG 3880762 - REPORTS ENGINE CRASHES WHEN GENERATING LARGE PDF SUBSETTING OUTPUT
(Not yet fixed, this bug in initial description phase)
(It gives same error)
If this is critical to you then can try getting in touch with Support to escalate the priority of the bug.
(First confirm with support whether it is the same issue)

Thai language characters not displaying correctly in browser

Hello all
I am starting to develop a multilingual application which will include both english and thai.
The problem Im having is that the browser displays only garbage when Im fetching a report on a table that includes Thai characters in a column.
What Im seeing is something like this:
Language Id     Short     Name
0     ENG     English
1     THA     à¸à¸à¹à¸à¸¢
Things that I have checked:
- The database character set is AL32UTF8
- The same is set for NLS_LANG when starting the database, listener, OHS
- The same is configured in dads.conf
- The browser is set to Unicode as well ( and can display normal thai websites without any problems)
I have tested on a windows 7 client, as well as locally to the database on the linux box using firefox, both show the same result.
In xterm I have no problems inserting and querying thai characters. Its all shown correctly.
I tried with chinese characters as well, and I see the same result.
Any ideas please let me know
Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Sorry to interrupt you in this thread, Me too having the saming requirement of displaying my apex application in both Arabic and English.
Hence i have accomplished of displaying the page name, labels, and all the other stuff related to page in arabic expect the data, im not sure of displaying the data in arabic soon after the user select the Arabic language.
From your thread i can see that you are seeing your data in Thai it seems, if you dont mind can you share the stesp you did for showing the data in thai so that i can try the same for my Arabic too.
Also sorry my post couldnt help your question.
Thanks in advance.

Is it a Bug in ORACLE 8i????

I am using Oracle 8.1.7(Japanese) on Win2k professional (Japanese) and developing a multilingual application.
* I have some columns of NVARCHAR2 datatype.
* NLS_Lang entry of registry is right now NA.
* Database procedures
When i use insert or any other statement to perform operations on NVARCHAR columns i am receiving Character set mismatch error.
In queries after consulting different forums i have identified a solution which is to add or append N character with the string value (N'String').
Anyone can please tell me the logical reason of doing this.
I have created some database procedures. Please tell me how can i append this N character solution to me string parameters.
I have tried many things like Translate, Cast and other string functions but all in vane.
In my procedures i am using NVARCHAR2 datatype IN parameters. When i use these parameters in queries I am getting the same error character set mismatch. I have tried Translate function for explicit conversion but the same error.
I hope i can get a solution at this forum.
Thanks in advance

You have to reference the stored procedure in the schema that the procedure was created. If you create procedure x as user scott, to execute it in sql* plus, you must specify the scheme: execute scott.x. You could create a synonym for scott.x so you could reference the procedure just by its name. Hope this helps.

NCLOB columns can not be used for this purpose in Oracle8i. When they were first introduced in Oracle8i the National Character set was meant to support a couple of fixed with Asian character sets. While the National character set in Oracle8i can be set to other character sets they are unsupported. In Oracle9i and on the National Character set is exclusively unicode and can be used for storing Japanese characters.

The class of the deferred-methods return type "{0}" can not be found.

I am developing a multilingual portal application.
I have the method that changes the locale based on user's choice in the bean and the method is being referred to as below.
<af:selectOneChoice label="Select Language" autoSubmit="true"
value="#{localeBean.locale}"
valueChangeListener="localeBean.changeLocale">
<af:selectItem label="English" value="en" id="si1"/>
<af:selectItem label="French" value="fr" id="si2"/>
<af:selectItem label="Dutch" value="nl" id="si3"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
when i try to run the application, i am getting compile time errors as below,
The class of the deferred-methods return type "{0}" can not be found.
No property editor found for the bean "javax.el.MethodExpression".
After going through the discussion forums i learned that the compilation errors can be resolved by setting the <jsp:directive.page deferredSyntaxAllowedAsLiteral="false> at the starting of the page.
Even after that i am getting the compilation error.
Any solutions, suggestions or possible approaches would be helpful as i am new to Webcenter Portal development.
Thanks,

The error you get points to a problem on the page (somewhere). Switch to source mode and check the right margin if you see orange or red marks. These are pointing to problems (not all are show stoppers, but they give you hints that something is not according to the standard for jsf, jsff, jsp or jspx pages.
Have you checked that the bean is correctly defined and that it's reachable?
Start a fresh page and isolate the problem, e.g. build a selectOneChoiuce on the new page (don't copy it as you might copy the error too) and make it work on the new page. Once you have it running you can compare the solution to your not running page.

How to pass the chinese input insert into DB

hi guys,
i am the new one in developing the multilingual software.
let me explain :
the tools used are :
Jboss 4.0.4 , MySQL, Eclipse.
user key in the chinese or other languages[like greek] in the jsp page. then will uses <form .......... method="post" action="create_user_confirm.jsp"> to redirect the page to create_user_confirm.jsp . In this page request.getParameter is used to get those input and send them to java code to insert into DB.
my difficulty now is from input jsp page to create_user_confirm.jsp page, i couldnt send the chinese word (greek or spanish) to the 2nd page by using request.getParameter("").it shows me the funny symbols below are some of code of my jsp pages.

     i really appreciate whoever reply this post. thanks a lot.

hi skalster,
thanks for your reply. currently i use Jboss to make the connection and the configuration to mySQL. the code as such :
<datasources>
<local-tx-datasource>
    <jndi-name>RTA_DS</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jbossdb</connection-url>
    <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
    <user-name>root</user-name>
    <password></password>
    <min-pool-size>5</min-pool-size>
    <max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>
      <metadata>
         <type-mapping>mySQL</type-mapping>
      </metadata>
    </local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>so whatever there is a insertion or retrieval, the system will call entity bean and there is no DB configuration on my code side. all done by Jboss. but now i am more concern on chinese word or other languages which are able to pass the chinese parameter within jsp pages. now i am facing the problem which user key in the chinese or other language's input,it is fail to pass to another jsp (create_user_confirm.jsp) to do the validation. it appears as those funny character from input.jsp to create_user_confirm.jsp by using request.getparameter(). any idea to solve this matter?the source code of the 2 jsp files are at the previous message. i really thanks for your reply.
have a nice day

Character encoding in resource bundle files

I am developing a multilingual site, using resource bundle files. The problem I'm having is that, while the jsp file is save in UTF-8, and the contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8", the foreign characters in the bundle files don't display properly unless I save them as "windows-1252". If I copy the text and paste it into the jsp file, it displays correctly.
How can I make the text from the bundle files display the same as the text in the jsp document itself when both files are saved as UTF-8? I'm surprised it doesn't do this by default.

Because resource bundles (the PropertyResoureceBundle class in particular) doesn't know anything about JSP or HTML page encodings. All that class knows is that it needs to load a properties file from the local (server-side) file system. (BTW, if you are using Struts MessageResources, it works the same way). Anyway, it doesn't read the file every time you call for a resource property String, it reads it 1 time, and 1 time only when you call new ResourceBundle().
The API docs (in java.util.Properties) specified that properties files are read using the ISO8895-1 encoding, actually, not the Windows-1252 or whatever the OS defines. So if you store text that's using a different encoding then ISO8895-1, it's going to read the chars incorrectly.
native2ascii converts things to ASCII using Unicode escapes, as I said. (Although, maybe it saves as ISO8895-1, I forget..., or maybe you should specify the output encoding.... you'd have to read the docs on that tool, cuz there's no command-line help.) This is sort-of an exception to the ISO8895-1 thing, in a sense, as all ASCII chars are the same as the first 127 chars of ISO8895-1, so it doesn't matter really.
So in short, it doesn't assume it's in the default Windows encoding, it assumes it's in ISO8895-1. But since the API docs specifically say so, you should abide by those rules.
As for "getting around the problem", yes, it does, actually. See, whatever it reads in that Unicode escaped ASCII text is converted properly to Strings in Java, which are 16-bit Unicode characters, which cover nearly every character set around (English, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Cyrillic, etc). When it's in that form, the chars are the Unicode chars and that's it. That's all they need to be. Encodings are only important when writing (and reading back) to files or other byte streams. You have to read in with the same encoding it was written under, otherwise the conversion is not going to be correct (with a few exceptions, but not many).
So that creates a Unicode String in Java, and when you write that to a JSP page or servlet, the output writer used knows from the content type you specified in the page declaration (UTF-8 is typically recommended because it's an efficent way to deal with Unicode chars, particularly in HTML, where most of the HTML tag content is still ASCII text), so it encodes the strings in that encoding.

Hi,
We are in the process of developing a Multilingual portal.
I have a login page which has some info about the company etc.
How do I /where do I store this information and How to transalte
to the corresponding lagauage's translation if I have the equivalent text?
For example
a specific message like "My Citi" and the corresponding translation for it, would go to which table?
For eaxample if I have to insert "My Cti" and the corresponding translation to WWNLS_STRING$ table
what are all the values I'll supply for the columns in above mentioned table?
SUBSCRIBER_ID
ID
DOMAIN
SUB_DOMAIN
NAME
LANGUAGE
TEXT
TEXT_START
BASE_STRING_ID
TEXT_STRING
I guess the text would be "My City" and language would be the corresponding language name like 'en' etc.
Could you please help me...
Can any one give a code snippet which I can make use of?
Thanks in advance

You should really check out the capabilities of content areas and let the product do this for you. In summary, you create a CA configured for multiple languages, create folders in the CA, publish item content in the base language, publish the translated content, and expose the folders in your portal page as a portlets. Users accessing the the page with their browser preference set to one of the congfigured languages will see your translated content.
Probably the best way to find out more about this feature is the click on the Help icon in your portal installation and search on 'translation'.

Hi Irfan!
General language settings can be done in SNL3.
Translations of short and long texts (of transactions) are done with SE63.
But if you just want to translate your selection text of a report, goto SE38->Goto->Translation.

Christian
