Easily switching between languages

Hi, I'm new to Macbooks. I used to have (and still do, just never use it) a ThinkPad. One great thing about it is that I could easily switch between languages by pressing a couple of buttons (Control and Shift). Is it possible to do that with a MacBook or to make it possible? Or am I stuck with going to the top bar and manually switching between the languages? Thanks

Look in the International system preference and the input pane. You'll see it at the bottom.

Easily switching between skype accounts on same ma...

Hello,
I had an old version of Skype that allowed me to easily switch between my company's skype account and my personal account. There was an "account" tab and a "sign in as different user" option that then showed the other account I wasn't currently signed into and allowed me to switch without having to enter login info (it saved passwords and usernames).
Now I have version 5.3.0.1093 and I have to sign out of skype and sign back in by entering username and password. Does anyone know how to do this in a more fluid way like the older version?
thanks!
Solved!

while I don't have solution to your problem, I may have a considerable suggestion that may help you. You can actually run two Skype accounts at the same time in the same computer;

Easily switch between scratch disk locations?

I have a project which I need to edit and it's going to take up a lot of room as it's shot throughout the summer and will contain hours of footage. I already have a hard drive devoted to all of my current editing projects (lets call that Drive 1) however this new project will be so big it needs another drive entirely. I have installed a hard drive (Drive 2) into my Mac Pro just for this new project.
I know by going into FCP > System Settings I can designate a new scratch disk on Drive 2 however I have a question.
I want to upload this project to Drive 2 at various points throughout the summer but at the same time I still need to upload and access my other final cut pro projects and content on Drive 1.
How can I easily switch between the capture scratch disk locations and make sure that content is being uploaded and rendered in the right location? I want to make sure I do this right before I add any new content to Drive 2.
Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your reply.
So if I want to upload, edit etc content to Drive 1, I just unselect all of the Drive 2 preferences in FCP > System Settings and vice versa Then when I want to use them again I just re-select them?

PC - Switching Between Languages?

I've looked around and found some solutions to switching between languages for OSX (at least in prior versions, changing system display language seemed to be enough), or changing to English via "ae_force_english," but what about changing to other languages from English?
It was mentioned that there are separate installers for each language, however switching the download page language to another and triggering that just launched Cloud and asked if I wanted to overwrite my current install with the alternate language, which I certainly do not.
So-- is there any way to either have multiple languages installed simultaneously, or to quickly switch between languages on the fly, on PC, with CC?
Thanks!

The simple answer is "no".

Quickly switching between languages

I wanted to know if there were keyboard shortcuts available to switch between languages quickly. I'm taking a foreign language class that requires that certain things be typed in the native foreign language. I find it a bit of a hassle to go over to the flag icon on the upper right to switch between languages (I switch in and out of English and the foreign language alot, especially when I need to research online). Any advice?

Cmd-Space and Cmd-Option-Space are the standard keyboard commands for cycling forwards and backwards through the enabled languages.
You can change the keys through System Preferences -> International -> Input Menu

E52 switching between languages whenever writing a...

Hi,
I've got an E52 Cell phone but don't know how to switch to second language (ie. Arabic) while writing in English when creating new message.
by now to change my writing language I have to follow these steps:
Option -> Input options -> Writing Language -> Primary writing language -> chage -> Arabic -> return back to writing area
I think it should be a shortcut to switch to Secondary writing language and be capable of returning back whenever needed.
any help would be appreciated.

until when is nokia going to keep ignoring thier customer demands & not fixing thier phones, alot of people started using other brands because they do what people asks them to do, stupid things like not being be able to switch languages easily is what makes people hate nokia and thats nokia brand will fade if they didn't try to catch up, i am sure nokia can fix this by a simple software upgrade, is it really that hard ?

How can I have two customization views that I can easily switch between?

I have one landscape and one portrait monitor I want different views on. Specifically I want a different bookmarks bar and the tabs in a different place on the portrait monitor. Do I need to load 2 separate profiles or can I quick-switch my views for each window/screen easily.
Quick switching window views would be a nice feature anyway.

I've always wondered about that bracket-thingy, but I've been able to get along without it, so I don't worry about it any more.
Why would you want to try to program a doubly-charged carbon ion (C++), anyway? It's just going to find an oxygen ion or aromatic ring to react with, no matter what you do. You're sure not going to steer it towards another cation without going to Fermilab or CERN (Yes, I understand they use LabVIEW there).

Easily switch between proxy and no proxy

I am looking for an easy way to swithc between using a proxy server (at work) and a direct connection (at home). I used to use a script that ran a sed on a bunch of configuration files to switch their network settings, but it would be much easier to point them all at something running locally and only need to change that. Any ideas?

I'm trying to do exactly the same. I've got it set up using squid, but I'm having issues with ports other than http. I've posted my problem along with my config files at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=96471, so you can copy them to use as a starting point. The way mine works at the moment is I've set up squid and iptables so that an app, e.g. firefox, sees it as a direct connection regardless of where I am. At work I simply start the squid and iptables services, and at home I stop them.

Nokia Dictionary - switching between 2 languages

Hi,
I often use Nokia Dictionary and I think it's a nice, simple tool. But there is one, very annoying problem with it.
When I try to switch between languages (let's say I use Danish-Polish dictionary) and I want to reverse languages - Polish to Danish - each time I need to do it by choosing source and target language in menu. It tooks a lot of time and it's inconvenient.
I would like to do it faster. Is there any chance to add new position in menu or aditional button called "Reverse languages" or something similiar?
I hope you understand my suggestion. I use Nokia N8 (Symb. Anna)

7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
Bob

Jochen,
Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

How to make my application programmatically switch between English and Russian

Greetings from Colorado...
My application needs to be switchable between English and Russian. Future languages to add are Spanish and Chinese. The user selects a language
from a control before starting the program and then the program changes the Captions, Boolean Texts, Graph Labels, and Enum Type Strings to the
chosen language. For Russian, this requires a different set of characters. I have made substantial progress by:
Control Panels>Region and Language>Keyboards and Languages>Change Keyboards added Russian>Keyboard>Russian on my development
computer.
In the LabVIEW.ini file, I added UseUnicode=TRUE (thanks to a suggestion found in this forum)
Made property nodes for controls and used properties such as Interpret As Unicode (True for Russian, False for English), Text, Font Name, Font Size, etc.
I have used fonts Arial and Arial CYR for Russian and MS Sans Serif for English
Set the keyboard for Russian and enter Cyrillic characters into text constants that are set for Arial or Arial CYR font. Sometimes one works and
sometimes the other works. As long as I set the font name in the property node the same way the text went into the text constant, it generally
works. I wish I could understand why one works sometimes and the other works other times!
I have had trouble with the Boolean Text going off-center when changing fonts and languages and it seems that by setting the Lock Text In Center
property to False and then True again, it seems to work. Often changing Boolean texts between short and long texts causes some of the long text
to be non-displayed; I have remedied this by explicitly setting the width of the Boolean text in a property node.
Often, the Russian text appears as gibberish with strange right-angle characters, :s, =s, and tiny numbers. I have been able to remedy this on my
development computer by ensuring that the text constant on the block diagram has the same size as the caption is supposed to have. This
is not necessary for normal programming in English, but it seems to help here. But it doesn't always solve the problem.
Sometimes the English text appears as Chinese gibberish in an Enum Type selection list or in a graph label. On my development computer,
it seems that making the text the last property to change helps here.
By changing the sequences of assignments to a single property node with a long list of properties, I have been able to make some of these
controls to switch between languages without gibberish showing up.
A few hours ago, I had the Russian strings in the Enum Type control working, except that when selecting from the available items, only the first
word of the Russian string was displayed. Two of the items start with the same word, so the user can't distinguish them.
At that time the English strings were appearing as Chinese gibberish while the list during the selection process displayed in English. As soon
as I changed the selection, future attempts to change the selection gave Chinese gibberish during the selection process, too. But this was only
a problem in the executable version; the source-code version worked fine.
In an attempt to get rid of the Chinese gibberish, I made new constants and retyped the items into them. This worked! But then, the Russian
stopped working and gave gibberish angles and tiny numbers, even though I didn't touch any of the code that sets the properties in Russian mode.
After trying a few sequences of setting the properties for the graph X label on page 2 of my tab control, this label started working correctly for both
languages. But the text of that label comes through on page 1 of the tab control, partly obscured by other controls on that page. After the
program runs a few more seconds, these shadows disappear.
Most times I restart LabVIEW, I get an error message saying there was a crash due to fontmgr.cpp, line 7494. But there actually wasn't a crash.
My computer has Windows 7 64-bit. Deployment Computer has Windows 7 32-bit. LabVIEW version is 8.5.
I have probably 50 or 100 more controls and indicators to change to language programmability and figuring out all this stuff for each one is
terribly time-consuming and there is no assurance that all of them will ever work.
At this point, I'm hoping that I am on an entirely wrong path and someone will send me a clue to get me on a path that is more predictable.
Thanks in advance to all who post ideas!
Cheers
Halden

Hi All,
I've made a lot of progress on this translation, but it's been really hard. There are lots of weird things going on that must be logical because they're in a computer, but I can't figure out what the logic is. When changing a font on a caption using the front panel, it sometimes changes the font on the caption and sometimes doesn't although the indicator always indicates the new font. Removing the first character of the unicode font string being sent to the caption seems to help...huh? Anyway, tabs still can't change language programmatically, and niether can ring controls (some kinds will take the new list of strings, but when selecting, they only display the first word of the string!). Boolean text can be reprogrammed, but only if the boolean text is set to be the same for both true and false states. When reprogramming captions on a non-displayed page of a multi-page tab-controlled user interface, the new text appears on the current page until I change pages back and forth. What a pain!
Sooo, NI....does LabVIEW 2011 have support for unicode fonts? Or, is there anything else in the new control style that will support programmatic language changing?

Fastest way you switch between multiple images (CS3) ?

I'm originally a Fireworks user (from 2001) and am starting to learn Photoshop as it is in my CS3 set and it's superiority in image editing.
BUT, I was suprised/shocked/P.O.-ed to notice Photoshop doesn't have tabs to easily switch between images like Fireworks has had for the last 7 years.
(Yes, I realize CS4 has that option now, but I'm not willing to dole out another $600 bucks for another upgrade )
Anyway, enough ********.
My question is:
"Can you tell me how you switch between multiple images opened in Photoshop CS3?"
I'm assuming there must be a keyboard shortcut I can't find, or something besides having to shrink down the images and routing through them . . .
Thank you for your time and help,
Brad

Switching between the Classic View and the Tree View in transaction FEBA

Hi All
I would like to know how to switch between the Classic View and the Tree View on transaction FEBA for post processing of bank statements. I have a scenario where in the DEV client the transaction is calling up the Tree View and in my QA environment it calls up the Classic View, and I would like to know if there is a way to easily switch between the two views.
I'd appreciate your assistance.

Hi,
I think you can do the same using transaction codes FEBA and FEBAN.
Thanks

Switching between OS 10 and Windows 8 using VMware

Using an earlier version of Mac OS, I always used a Spaces window to load VMware Fusion. I could easily switch between OS and Windows by pressing the command and arrow keys. With Spaces no longer available, is it possible to switch between OS and Windows using only the keyboard? Thanks.

What version of the OS are you running. If 10.7 or later, Spaces have been replaced by Desktops, which can be added just like Spaces.

Switching between OS X and Win7 on MacBook Pro

Is there an app or some process to easily switch between OS X and Win7 on my MacBook Pro? Thanks.

If Windows is installed in BootCamp then reboot from one OS to the other.
If it is install to be used by an emulator that start your Windows applications.
