Displays pages in non-english

I have recently moved from the USA to the Philippines, but my Firefox
3.6.12 now gives me pages in TAGALOG the Philipine language instead of ENGLISH even english is selected as my default language. What
is the fix for this?

Some sites automatically redirect you to a site in the local language, based on where your IP locates you.<br />
There is usually a link on such websites choose a language or go to an international version that allows to chose the language.
If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo home page is in the wrong language then see:

Wiki pages in non-English

Sometimes I'll come across a page that has an English title (or seemingly English title) but is in a completely different language. I usually assume the page will be in English. Is that a reasonable assumption and should those pages be moved to Title_(Language)?
I realize that sometimes the title may use English words but in a different order, which is still kind of misleading.

Why are we still discussing this? :lol:
Anyway, the currently proposed (and hopefully maintained) solution is to add (Language) to any page, regardless of the kind of title. Even if the title couldn't possibly be written the same in any other language, maintainers are requested to put (Language). This is the simplest and hopefully the most effective solution.
I know that there have been a lot discussion about this, but I still think it isn't a very good idea. It will be a big mess and a lot of misunderstandings. It's hard to maintain a category tree in multiple languages. And these problems will discourage (especially non-english) people from editing wiki. The other problem is that there are quite many people who actually know something about Arch/Linux but are using only their native language. So I think that only one good solution (but technically much more complicated) is to setup sepereate wikis (pl.wiki... , de.wiki...) and use interwiki. Sperate wikis could be developed by local communities separetly, just like wikipedia. The other good solution is to ask local communities to setup wikis on their own (e.g. polish arch-linux.pl have one already) and to make somehow interwiki work. This will keep main ArchWiki nice and clean and could grow someday to GentooWiki size. What do you think?

Loading pages with non-English language scripts (e.g., Arabic)

When I try to load a page that has non-English script, specifically Arabic, it just show's up as question marks or weird symbols. How do I get it to show the words but in Arabic or any other non-English script?

Make sure that the correct encoding is selected.

Encrypting non-English characters

Hi,
I have this application which has to do the following
Scenario (i)
- Read ENCODED string SE from Network Source NS1 (Native,Non-JAVA)
- Decode SE to SD using the same charset as NS1
- Apply some transformation to SD to get SD2
- Encode SD2 to get SE2 using the same charset as Network Source NS2
(Native, Non-JAVA)
- Send SE2 to NS2
- NS2 gets what it expects without any problems :))
Scenario (ii)
- Read ENCODED string SE from Network Source NS1 (Native,Non-JAVA)
- Decode SE to SD using the same charset as NS1
- Apply some transformation to SD to get SD2
- Get the bytes from SD2 as BSD2
- Encode BSD2 to get BSE2 using the same charset as Network Source NS2
(Native, Non-JAVA)
- Encrypt BSE2 to BSE2_Enc
- Send BSE2_Enc to NS2 (Native,Non-JAVA)
- NS2 does not gets what it expects :((
(It recieves English text OK but it gets ???? for non-English)
The charset being used is windows-1256 (at NS1,NS2 and my application)
Encryption is being done using BouncyCastle TwoFish w/ 256 bit keys
Reading/Writing from/to network is being done over SocketChannel
Get the bytes from SD2 as BSD2 => byte [] BSD2 = SD2.getBytes()It seems the non-Enlish characters are getting lost when I go SD2.getBytes()
and they get encrypted as 'lost-non-English characters' ;)
And when they get decrypted at NS2, they are displayed as 'lost-non-English
characters' :)) i.e. ??????? .. so on
Is there a way I can encrypt non-English plain text without losing information ?
(without having to implement a TwoFish engine in my application itself)

1) Bytes are not characters. Characters are UNICODE
and have a byte representation defined by an encoding
scheme. It is usually wrong to use the default
encoding given by String.getBytes(). One should realy
use String.getByte(encoding) eg
"fred".getBytes("UTF-8");Awwllright ... got that :)) Thanks buddy
2) Not having access to your code makes it difficult
but make sure you are not converting encrypted bytes
to a String using new String(encrypted bytes); No .. I am not doing that.
3) Again, not having access to your code makes it
difficult , but when you display your Strings make
sure that you use a Font that has representations for
all the UNICODE characters you wish to display. It is
normal for any character that does not have a valid
glyph in a gien font to display as a box.That infrastructure exists and is working fine ... as I mentioned
this is working OK when plain text is being used.
The problem was with using the getBytes() rather than getBytes("windows-1256")
Its working now ... thanks alot .. again. I wonder how that never occurred to me.

Problem with non english caracter

Hi,
I'm using JRockit 1.5.0_03, I have a problem with pages with non english caracters. is it possible to change certain properties of JVM like "user.country", "file.encoding" or "user.language"? If yes, how can I change it?
Thanks in advanced

Thanks for the reply, I created the pdf file by my own library, it works for english, french and other iso-8859-1 languages, but not for others like russian (iso-8859-5) and must the fonts be embedded?
below is the file I created,

Non-english character display as square box

Hi all,
I'm not very sure if this question should be asked here or in the JRE board, thus I'm trying here also
I have been trying an opensourced application called Alliancep2p (could be obtained from www.alliancep2p.com) using JRE 1.6 on an English Windows XP Pro machine.
The problem:
all chinese input are displayed as "square box". It looks like the programme "gets" the correct character, only that everything is displayed as "square box".
It looks like a font issue, though I'm not that sure. Is there anyway the default fonts could be changed, or to get the characters correctly displayed?
Note: I have east asian fonts installed, and the Java config panel can display chinese or other non-english characters correctly.
I tried the same application under GNU/Linux (locale is UTF-8) and chinese input/display correctly without any problem at all. Does it mean that it is not the problem of the application, or?
The original question in the JRE board:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5265369&tstart=0
Thanks for all the input.

I'm not really sure if it's a problem of the application or not. But the fact that it works perfectly under Linux makes me think maybe it's not the problem of the program, and actually their developers said that unicode is being used all over the program and seems like they're not CJK users also.
I'm not a java guru so I can't really tell from the source if there's anything wrong.

Non-English characters not displaying correctly - Serious Issue

My corporate email is on a Lotus Domino server with Lotus Traveler installed.
I have set my PlayBook (with OS 2) up to syncronize with the corporate email trough Active Sync (see http://alturl.com/qh3nn), which works perfectly.
I have however noticed that in some emails special non-english characters are displayed correctly but in some emails special non-english characters are displayed as a black diamond with a question mark inside.
This is of course a serious issue as most non English speaking countries use some special characters.
When trying to understand this problem how can I analyse the emails and see what character set is being used?
And of course better; has someone solved this?

I am having the same problem. Is there any update available?

Linux or JVM: cannot display non english character

hi,
i am trying to implement a GUI that supports both turkish and english. user can switch between them on the fly.
public class SampleGUI {
JButton trTranslate = new JButton(); /* Button, to translate into turkish */
/* Label text will be translated */
JLabel label = new JLable("Text to Be Translated!");
trTranslate.addActionListener (new ActionListener(){
void ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
String language="tr";
String country="TR";
Locale currentLocale;
ResourceBundle messages;
currentLocale = new Locale(language, country);
messages = ResourceBundle.getBundle("TranslateMessages",currentLocale);
/* get from properties file turkish match of "TextTranslate "*/
label.setText(messages.getString("TextToTranslate"));
Finally, my problem is my application does not display non english chracaters like "� ş � ğ � i" in GUI after triggering translation.However, if i do not use ResourceBundle and instead assign directly the turkish match for that label (i.e. label.setText("şşşşş")), GUI successfully displays turkish characters. what may be the problem? which encoding set does not conform?
ps : i am using redhat linux8.0, j2sdk1.4.1. current locale = "tr_TR.UTF-8". in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard , keyTable = "trq". There seems no problem for me as i can input and output
turkish characters. OS supports this. Also jvm gets the current encoding from OS.It seems as if there is a problem in reading properties file in inappropriate encoding.
thanx for dedicating ur time and effort,
hELin

I would suspect it would work in vim only if vim supported the UTF8 character set. I have no idea if it does.
Here is one blurb I found on google:
USING UNICODE IN THE GUI
The nice thing about Unicode is that other encodings can be converted to it
and back without losing information. When you make Vim use Unicode
internally, you will be able to edit files in any encoding.
Unfortunately, the number of systems supporting Unicode is still limited.
Thus it's unlikely that your language uses it. You need to tell Vim you want
to use Unicode, and how to handle interfacing with the rest of the system.
Let's start with the GUI version of Vim, which is able to display Unicode
characters. This should work:
     :set encoding=utf-8
     :set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1
The 'encoding' option tells Vim the encoding of the characters that you use.
This applies to the text in buffers (files you are editing), registers, Vim
script files, etc. You can regard 'encoding' as the setting for the internals
of Vim.
This example assumes you have this font on your system. The name in the
example is for X-Windows. This font is in a package that is used to enhance
xterm with Unicode support. If you don't have this font, you might find it
here:
