Entering Spanish Language Characters

Hi,
I'm working on a Spanish language site. I do not speak spanish. There is a ton of copy that was scanned in and most of the diacriticals are wrong or missing. Is there a menu I can bring up that will quickly show me the spanish characters I need? I did a quick search and there was much talk about installing a spanish language -keyboard- in Windows. But isn't there a way to show the code #s for these chars without doing that?
TIA,
---JC

The text options in the insert panel, for instance. You can also use copy&paste from Windows' Charmap utility...

Entering special language characters in JSF

I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 to develop a JSF/ADF application. My database is using the AL32UTF8 character set. If the following is entered into an af:inputText field....
Podmiotowi w 2 okresie leczenia proszę
... when the record is saved it changes ...
proszę to prosz + (what I guess is the unicode representation of the last character "&#281")
.... and this is what is being stored in the database. This would be ok, but when the record is displayed again in the browser, it is not resolving the unicode back to the correct character.
How do I allow the entry of these special characters and have them correctly displayed on the web page after saving ? I also have a similar problem with Hungarian and Polish.
Many thanks,
Brent Harlow

Hi Shay,
Thanks for that. I had set the compiler project properties and the locale of the browser but I was missing the encoding within the JSF page.
Once I changed
<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"/>
and
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
to use "text/html;charset=UTF-8", it worked a treat.
Many thanks for the help !
Cheers,
Brent

Error in HUMO transaction only in Spanish language?

Hi friends,
in transaction HUMO, if I use selection parameter 'System status', to be more precise, if I give it the value 'I0517' (LOCK) and I enter a Handling Unit which has this status, the report finds this HU.
Nevertheless, if I logon in Spanish language, the same selection does not find any HU. In this case, the 'System status' is 'I0517' (BLQU).
OSS note 1851136 is already applied and the same error still occurs.
I hope you can help me.
Regards,
Joan

Hi,
Pls check in Tcode OMJJ - Allowed Transactions for Mtype - 349- whether HUMO transaction was included in the allowed transaction?
Hope this helps.

Spanish accent characters are not displayed proper in excel file

Hi
I have written a program which displays one report file (.xls file ) on the browser.
This report file is in spanish language and contains few accent characters like
("� � � � � � �"). These characters are not displyed properly in that excel file which is opened in the browser. I have used utf-8 encoding method. I tried with some other encoding methods available. But still this problem continues.
Kindly provide me help as soon as possible.
Thanks and
Regards,
Deval

File is generated through a java bean at runtime and it is not stored pgysically.
If I copy these characters from somewhere to new xls file then it will be displayed properly.
Sample code which is used for setting headers is as below:
     protected void setContentType (
          HttpServletResponse     p_response
     ,     InstanceData          p_instancedata
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
          p_response.setHeader ("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
          p_response.setHeader (
               "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename="
          +      p_instancedata.userId
          +      "_"
          +      System.currentTimeMillis ()
          +     ".csv"
          System.out.println("Content generator = ");
          p_response.setHeader("charset","utf-8");
          p_response.setContentType (EXCEL_CONTENT_TYPE);
For generating this xls file, format of data is XML. Means both request and response data will be in XML format.
Hope this information help in suggesting any solution for this problem.

Deval

How to enter URDU Language data in Oracle

hi,
im having great problems in entering Urdu Language data in Oracle 9i rel.2 database on win2000 ad. server having my client PCs on windows xp,, then front end of our application being in developing process,,in .net framework,,using vb.net,,now windows xp is supporting urdu and data in urdu language is entered properly from the front end application but oracle is not supporting it,, and not displaying right translated characters,,my country is Pakistan,,laguage is Urdu,,the character set of my database is we8mswin1252 and national character set is al16utf16,,
plz help me wriggle out the situation.
regards
umar

I am not completely certain what Oracle character sets support Urdu, but I can say that Windows-1252 certainly does not. You probably want to use UTF-8 as the database character set.
Unfortunately, changing the database character set generally requires rebuilding the database. You cannot use the ALTER DATABASE command here, since UTF-8 is not a strict binary superset of Windows-1252.

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with custome

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with "customer reserve" language (Z1).
We have positive experience on one system for certain business partner in Macedonia (there is no Macedonian language to install as SAP standard) by using "customer reserve" language (Z1).
Now we are about to introduce other system with same approach. The trouble is that after entering Macedonian language on an cost center with language Z1 on first language and transfering it via idoc we get hashes("#") instead of characters on second language
What could be the reason? I suplemented with english (as on the first system where everything is ok) the "Customer reserve"(Z1) language normaly(with default settings).
On first system this was not done by me.
Should supplementation be done specificly?.(how to find settings for supplemention on first system?)
Please give me a hint

Hi,
To check supplement language go to T-code, SMLT ->Language ->Special actions->Supplementaion
you can get more information from below SDN thread.
Cyrilic char not coming properly
Below SAP help document gives you how to find supplement language & installation of languaes.

I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" I don't know the owners info! Help?

I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" This iPod is currently linked to an Apple ID (c*****@k*****.net). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPod. The man who sold it to me said he bought it from another guy and sold it to me..So, I don't know what to do! I searched it up and it said you could go to iCloud and iTunes, but It's not working for me. Please help!!

A little more information:
You are running against the Activation Lock
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
If you can't get this done
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
you have a thin brick. I suspect your iPod was stolen or lost. I would turn it into the police since it is worthless to you if you can't get the previous owner to remove from their account

Reading a text file with foreign language characters

I'm trying to convert foreign language characters to English looking characters. I have code that works, but only if I hard code the string with foreign language characters and pass it to the function. I cannot figure out how to get my program to read
in the foreign characters from my file, they come in as garbage.
Since the function works when I pass a hard coded string to it, I'm pretty sure the problem is the way I have the Streamreader set up, it's just not reading the characters correctly...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader "m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with English characters
Function removeAccent(ByVal myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
I know that removing the accent changes the meaning of the word, but this is what the user wants so it's what I need to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)
Thanks!
Joni

Finally got it to work. I had to remove the first 5 characters from the replacement string (ŠŽšžŸ), couldn't find encoding that would handle these, and to be honest, I didn't really need them. The important ones are still there, was probably
just overkill on my part.
UTF7 worked for the rest...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter
ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with english characters
Function removeAccent(ByRef myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "AAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
Thanks for all your help! Greatly appreciated :)

FDM - Errors with Foreign Language Characters in Load Files

For our Netherlands data import file, our source account decriptions contain the character "ë". The account decription is not loaded to HFM, but we are receiving error messages when importing. Is there a way to ignore foreign language characters? Another post suggested "Administration", "Configuation Settings", "File Encoding Type" then set to "Unicode", but the version I am using does not have this option. Version is 11.1.1.3.
Thank you!
Melody

Hello Melody,
If you are using FDM v11.1.1.3.00 the file-encoding is defaulted to Unicode. It might be helpful to contact support.
It could be your DB isn't setup to handle unicode characters (in this event the information would be stored in the SQL*Loader or MSSQL Logs). It could also be the file you are trying to import actually isn't "unicode" but more of a local ANSI/ASCII format.
Most 'European' characters were supported in that release; and I know several clients that use it as expected.
Thank you,

Junk symbols for asian language characters in PO PDF

Hi,
We have a custom program to generate the PO output and I have changed it to send the PO output to multiple emails/users using the steps given in the below link.
The issue I'm facing is that when the PDF is generated and emailed,if I open the PDF in the email,for asian language characters in the PO data,I see wierd symbols.
Has anyone faced this issue?
This is happening for even the standard PO output/email which is sent out which indicates that this is something with the WINDOWS/ADOBE settings .
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
You have to make sure that the spool was created by the correct device type which does support
the language, you can change to the cascading device type SWINCF in SPAD, all unicode characters
can be handled by this device type, note 812821.
Secondly, goto SCOT-> Settings-> Device Types for Format Converstion, here you must set the
correct device type too, you can change the device type to also SWINCF here for the used form language.
Best regards,
Wen Peng

Mail with French / Spanish accented characters appear as Question marks

Hi
I am facing issues in mails that have French / Spanish accented characters in mail subject.Accented characters appear as Question marks (?) when received in the inbox.Mail subject is read from properties file.
Please let me know the following
- Should I have the entries in properties file in Unicode ? For example French accent character � is represented as á
- Should I replace msg.setSubject(subject); to msg.setSubject(subject,"UTF-8");
Please suggest.
Below is code snippet :
     Session session = getSession();
               // create a message
               Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
               // set the from and to address
               InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
               InternetAddress[] addressTo = new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
               for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
                    addressTo[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients);
               msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
               msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
               msg.setSentDate(new Date());
*               msg.setSubject(subject);*
               MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart("related");

String subject = "\u00C 9tat de l'inscription en ligne";You need 4 hex digits after \u. You only included 3.
mailSubject = new String(subject.getBytes(), "UTF-8");
message.setSubject(MimeUtility.encodeText(mailSubject,"UTF-8", "B"), "UTF-8");Remove the above two lines. You're trying to make
this much too hard. All you need is:
message.setSubject(subject, "utf-8");
Should I use ISO8859_1 as Charset or UTF-8 ?I think the characters you're included are
representable in iso-8859-1 so you can use
that.
I am using Outlook express as my mail client. Do we have to decode it ?No.

Spanish language description for material master

HI SAP Gurus,
can anybody please clairfy this thing for me. we have a material despcription in english in the material master. If we add ES language in the additional data screen what should be the description. Does the system pick automatically? Or the users have to provide it? Or can it be the same as english description with the just the language key as ES.
For example
EN - Seal cap
ES - Seal Cap
please clarify this
thanks
Anusha

Hi Anusha,
SAP provides option to maintain description in diff. languages so people from diff. places can read the description in their language.
There is nothing stopping you from maintaining the description in english for all lang. keys, but i am sure it would make very little sense.
So if you wish to maintain in spanish language, login in using spanish & then maintain the description.
Hope the above clarifies.
If helpful award points

Vivek

What channels are in 11.99 Spanish Language package?

What channels are in the 11.99 Spanish Language package?
They are no longer listed in the new format channel guide. They used to be.
I just ordered the "Spanish Language package", but cannot tell what I bought!
Only thing I now find under "Plans" is this:
Spanish Language
27 of the most popular channels like Univision and Galavision
Best news, sports and entertainment from several Spanish-speaking countries
but Univision and Galavision already come with the Premier package.
Now that I say that, I don't see "Premier Package" anymore, either.It's on my bill!
Ok, postpone that for now, current question is: what 27 extra spanish language channels do I no get for my $11.99?
