  • How can I display special characters of NonEuropean languages (French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.) using import string mechanism

    I would like to translate the User Interface of my application to French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
    When I put special characters in the import string file they showed up as ? (question mark)
    The import strings file includes the following parameters for each string: font, text, size and style. (but no field for script)
    In order to use a unicode font such as Arial I need to select a french script. But this option is not supported bu LabView (As far as I saw)
    A) Is there a font which is directly German/ French etc and not regula font + script parameter?
    B) Are there another required step
    s for special characters support? (When I put speciual characters in the import string file the showed up as ? question mark)

    This was discussed last week in this group- read the previous messages.
    Look for the thread "Foreign Languages in Labview"
    And recite the mantra
    ActiveX is good
    ActiveX is holy
    All Hail Bill
    Those who claim otherwise are heretics and not to be trusted
    Actually, in this case the non-ActiveX suggestions may be good.

  • SAP special german characters(umlaut) like ü, ö, ä not displayed properly in XML output

    Hello Team,
    Here we are facing issues while converting SAP tables data to XML file.
    the description is not converting properly for the special German characters like ü, ö, ä.
    Actual output should be :Überprüfung nach § 29 STVZO
    Output Displayed :Ã#berprüfung nach § 29 STVZO
    Can you please look into and help me in this to get correct output .
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Unicode or Non-Unincode System ?
    Displayed where ? SAPGUI ? Print Preview ? Spool-Display ?
    And how is the XML file written ?  OPEN DATASET ? BAPI ?
    At all of these stages it might be either that it is only a display system, like the selected display CHARSET in SAPGUI, when it is a non-unicode system, or simply not coded correctly like OPEN DATASET without specifying the cdepage when necessary.
    And it might even be, that even "displaying" the XML File is simply done with the incorrect codepage while the data inside the file is correct.
    If you are on Windows, you might even face funny results when saving a simple textfile from notepad with ANSI/DOS and both Unicode variants and then go to CMD.EXE ans simply "type" the content.
    All 4 results will be different, allthough notepad will display the same stuff.
    So first of all, makes sure which codepage is relevant at all stages from DB-table to "display"
    - DB-Charset
    - SAP system type (unicode/non-unicode)
    - SAP codepage (1100 / 410x )
    - crosscheck the test from report RSCPINST
    - Codepage on Windows running SAPGUI
    - Selected codpage for Sapgui
    Good hunting

  • German characters not displaying correctly when redaing from URLConnection

    I have a java file reading the contents of a generated jsp page and writing to an html file and I have the code below doing that. However a couple of German characters like �, � and � are being changed to � in the html file. I tried to set the encoding for the reader, the OutputStreamWriter and also for the URLConnection, but it does not seem to help.
    The data is fine in the database.
    Any inputs on resolving this will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    This web page says that the correct encoding code is "UTF-8", not "UTF8".
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html#charenc
    Maybe there are aliases, and it recognises both.... but worth a try.
    Also, when you open the web page with a browser and view the source, do you see Utf8 mentioned in the webpage ? Maybe it's not in utf8, and you're trying to force your app to read it as such.
    Ps. we won the war... tell them to start speaking English !

  • Unable to load German characters in NON Unicode Essbase Cube

    Hi Guys,
    This is what we want to do:
    Build a Cube for Germany on our Essbase server in US. Our users will access cube using Excel Add-In from Germany. But since the Essbase server is in US, system environment variable ESSLANG is set to English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary.
    The version of Essbase we are using is 7.1.3.
    What we tried & failed:
    To load German characters from our dimension build Text file, we added a header: //ESS_LOCALE German_Germany.Latin1@Default
    at the beginning of the dim build Text file hoping the rule file will understand that the file contains German characters & load it correctly. Then using EAS I load the dimensions using its corresponding rule file.
    Essbase loads the dimensions correctly, with NO Error, but when it encounters German characters it Replaces it with a Question Mark "?"
    Some of the German characters are:ß Ü ü Ö ö Ä ä Å Ä Ö
    Lastly, the reason we do not want to build Unicode cube is because Excel Add-In will not work with Unicode cubes.
    Its urgent. Please help.
    Thanks.

    The simple and easy way to check
    non-unicode character sets are not supported on unicode system any longer. Am I right?
    Transaction code i18N
    Select
    trouble shooting --> printing  test --> smartforms --> multiple scripts, select your output device and see print preview. it will display all supported characters.
    I guess, above information will be useful for closing the thread.

  • Problems with german characters in data migration

    Hello,
    I tried to migrate a Access 2002 mdb to Oracle 10g XE. In order to avoid errors I used Access 2000 exporter to generate xml and dat for table and data, imported the schema to Oracle database, generated data move scripts and imported the data with a batch-file.
    I did it according to the steps explained here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/viewlets/ofdm.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/appdev/msamigrate/msamigrate.htm
    All german characters in Table names were migrated correctly. But when I import the data, german characters are converted to weird signs like ü.
    If I open the dat-files with windows editor all german characters are displayed properly. If I open the same file with wordpad the german characters are displayed with the errors described above.
    Environment
    Win XP SP 3 German
    Ms Access 2002 sp3 german
    SQL Developer 1.5.0.53 german
    Access 2000 Exporter 10.2.0.2.5
    What am I doing wrong? I can't get it solved since two days.

    Check if database characterset supports these special characters
    check client's nls settings.
    check client machine's language settings (converts characters in driver level)

  • Displaying unicode characters

    Dear all,
    I am currently dealing with a character displaying problem on the MAM.
    We will soon go live in China. Until now we only had European countries, with a Latin alphabet.
    Now however this changes, so we need to use Unicode to display all characters correctly.
    Therefor I have converted all our custom language files to language files with Unicode escape characters.
    e.g.:
    EQUIPMENTS_EQU_MAT_NR=设备材料号码
    Now the strange thing is that when we login in Chinese, everything is displayed correctly, but when we login in German or Polish (countries which also have some special characters), we don't see everything displayed correctly.
    This is the code how we display an entry from the language file on the screen:
    <%@page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
    meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text-html; charset=UTF-8"
    <jsp:useBean id="res" class="com.sap.ip.me.api.services.MEResourceBundle" scope="session"></jsp:useBean>
    <%=PageUtil.ConvertISO8859toUTF8(res.getString("CONFIRMATIONS_HEADER_DETAIL"))%>
    For Chinese language, the characters are displayed correctly in this way.
    e.g.: 最后一次同步时间
    However Polish characters and German characters are not (always) displayed correctly.
    e.g.: Wskaźnik pierwszego usuniÄu2122cia usterki
    The only 'difference' that I can see is that for China, every character in the language file has a special Unicode notation, while for Polish and German characters, only the special characters are displayed in special Unicode notation.
    e.g.:
      EQUIPMENTS_EQU_MAT_NR=Numer materia\u00c5‚u sprz\u00c4™tu
    FYI, I've converted the files to Unicode escape characters with the java util native2ascii.exe.
    Is there anyone who knows how to solve this issue?
    Thanks already in advance!
    Best regards,
    Diederik
    Edited by: Diederik Van Wassenhove on Jul 6, 2009 2:34 PM

    Dear all,
    I've found the reason for this problem.
    Thanks anyway for your time!
    The problem was that when converting the language files to Unicode escape characters, the source format was wrong. The files where saved as UTF-8, but the JAVA tool native2ascii is not taking UTF-8 as standard input format. So the resulting Unicode file was not containing the correct Unicode characters.
    I've re-generated the language files with the parameter -encoding UTF-8, and now everything is displayed correctly!
    Have a good day!

  • Displaying UMLAUT characters in WEBI report - Need Confirmation in Settings

    Hi,
    I am using BOXI-R2 in Windows machine. I have done the below settings in BO configuration files.
    My WEBI report shows no data to display when there are UMLAUT German characters (for example) in the data. Japanese and English characters are displayed in the report properly.
    Settings:
    1. Arial Unicode Font installed.
    2. fontalias.xml - Default section font is Arial Unicode
    3. i18n.xml - Arial Unicode MS entry available
    4. defaultconfig.xml - <CUSTOM_GUI_FONTS VALUE="Arial Unicode MS"/>
    5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
    6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME0  - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
    7. cs.cfg - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameters>.
    8. oracle.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
    9. sybase.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
    10. odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>  in default section
    My WEBI report is using generic odbc connectivity to sybase. After some changes to the above settings report displays UMLAUTS properly with the below change.
    odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">CharSet</Parameter>  in generic odbc section
    Please let me know whether this is the correct change to be done for this issue. Also what is the reason UMLAUTS are not getting displayed when i use UTF8.

    2.click on one blank cell and on formula editor type following formula.
    =UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(Start):" )
    This will show you start date in the cell.
    3.Similarly in another cell type the following formula
    =UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(End):" )
    This will show you End Date in respective cell.
    Do revert in case of any queries.

  • Display special characters

    Hi,
    i'm displaying usernames in our application, but i'm not sure
    how to display
    special characters correctly.
    When using the labels htmltext property, it only recognized
    html style tags, but
    no html encoded special character like &uuml; for the
    german character ü.
    The encode string is simply displayed literally: &uuml;
    Anyone knows how to display those special characters
    correctly ?

    Try one of the NSString "stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding" methods.

  • Display Chinese Characters

    What needs to be done to make PRS-950 display Chinese characters in MS Word format? Please help!

    The Reader can display text written in English fonts and other Latin-based languages such as Spanish, French and German, however it cannot display Chinese characters on text based files. The Reader does support PDF documents in other languages however, so Chinese PDF files should display fine.

    I'm pretty sure you have to specify font and font map in vconsole.conf
    like so:
    FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
    FONT_MAP=8859-2
    If that doesn't help it could be this.
    If so try to load settings manually, I can't test German setup, but for Polish I could do this to get national characters:
    loadkeys pl
    setfont Lat2-Terminus16 -m 8859-2
    that requires to be root/sudo
    note that -m 8859-2 part is quite important
    edit:
    actually got all German symbols to be displayed correctly, though I do not know if they are assigned for right keys for obvious reasons
    loadkeys de-latin1-nodeadkeys
    setfont Lat2-Terminus16 -m 8859-2
    read read topic in then link to hopefuly fix why settings are not loaded on boot

  • Imported Subtitles from and STL file are missing German characters.

    I have had an STL subtitle file prepared by external company.
    It works beautifully and imports into DVDSP fine. The problem i have is that some German characters (ö and ü) are not displaying and instead i get other characters.
    I have tried changing language input source in system prefferences but to no avail.
    Can any one help? Please

    they are nice people, but they kept sending changes that conflicted, going back and forth over the same items. Turns out two different people were doing the reviews and they didn't agree on wording of the theft warning. Took six extra months to do. Oh, and make sure you have a printout when you start to work. Often you won't know when the accents are missing.

  • Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

    I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
    Here's what I've tried.
    Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

    More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!
