Finally support of other languages in forthcoming Leopard?

Does anyone know if Leopard will finally support other languages than English as well? I want to buy my parents a Mac and VoiceOver would be perfect for them if only Mac OS X would support German.
Leopard is said to have a new voice technology, but I could not find out if this is restricted to English again.
Why is an important feature like this not localized? Does anyone know the background?

Hello Thomas,
I've had a lot of success with Macs running Tiger in French, with added voices from Infovox iVox. The easiest way to get these is to buy VisioVoice from Assistive Ware — the language packs are bundled and include American English, British English, American Spanish, Canadian French, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Flemish, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish.
There might be odd problems with non-localised voice tags, but you can usually kludge these using the VoiceOver pronunciation dictionary—with care!
Other voices are available from Cepstral. Listen to samples from both sites, and see what you prefer. I'm aware that buying extra voices is an additional cost, but compared to the cost of Windows screen readers, this is trifling.
As for Leopard, it certainly promises full localisation not only of the OS but also of VoiceOver. I don't know what other languages may be delivered with machines or local distributions of Leopard for installation on existing kit, but third-party voices shouild work just fine.
Don't hesitate! Go for it! You won't be sorry!

Can I get dictionaries for iBooks in other languages?

It's a great feature in iBooks that I can mark a word I don't know and get an explanation from the built-in dictionary.
And it would even greater to get the same support for other languages (e.g. french). Is that possible?

Currently only English and Japanese have built-in support for looking-up words - you can download dictionaries from the store for other languages but they won't work in the same as those two i.e. you'd need to go into the book/dictionary yourself and find the definition.

Can I read other language webpages on iphone?

Can I read other language webpages on iphone?
Do I need to install other fonts to get it work?

It works fine with Japanese webpages. But iphone doesn't support some other languages. Are there any way I can install it myself?
At this time, no, there is no way you can get the iPhone to display languages which it does not yet support, which includes Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, Vietnamese, Devanagari, etc.
If you would tell people exactly what language you are interested in, it would easier to help you.

Is there Java support for Indian languages other than Hindi?

I'd like to use Tamil as a test language for some translated java files.
I don't know whether it is supported or not.
Alternatives are Bangla, Gujararati, Kannada, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Telugu. Are any of these supported?
I'd prefer not to use Hindi.
The only website I can find listing the languages supported is from 2003. If you have a link to a more recent one, I would appreciate it.

Locale is basically a glorified String[], so the idea that some locales are supported and others are not is sort of illusory.
Quoting from the API...
[quote begins]
Locale(String language, String country, String variant)
The language argument is a valid ISO Language Code. These codes are the lower-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-639... The country argument is a valid ISO Country Code. These codes are the upper-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-3166...
Because a Locale object is just an identifier for a region, no validity check is performed when you construct a Locale...
The Locale class provides a number of convenient constants that you can use to create Locale objects for commonly used locales...
A Locale is the mechanism for identifying the kind of object (NumberFormat) that you would like to get. The locale is just a mechanism for identifying objects, not a container for the objects themselves.
[quote ends]
In other words, if you wanted to make up your own local for the language that they speak on Planet X (Xian), you could perfectly well have a Local object for that and properties or list files for it.

I have never got a chance to work on it but Java supports localization.
Looking at your need guess these can help.

On DB side, you may have UTF-8 encoding to store non-standard characters.

I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

About windows 10 supporting indian regional languages. especially on phones.

I'm presently using lumia series phone which has windows 8.1. And does not support many indian languages. But the pc version of windows 8.1 supports the aforesaid. Hence the windows 10 is universal OS across devices, will that support indian languages
on all those devices?? Moreover, i'm requesting you to develop a typing software for indian languages as like as google input tools.

Hi,
Since Windows 10 final edition is not released, it's hard to say if Windows 10 or Windows Phone10 support Indian language. However, if you have any suggestion with Windows new product, you can post your suggestion by using Windows Feedback in Windows 10.

Oracle 9i Support for multi language is not working.. Giving question mark

HI,
We have an application which uses oracle 9i as the database. Riight now we are supporting only english and there is a requirement to support multiple languages like korean, chineese and japaneese.
But we are planning to migrate one part of the application to support multi languages. Means it may affect around 10 tables but with huge data. Totally we have around 100 tables.
How to enable the database for supporting multiple langugages.?
Is there any way to enable only the few tables supporting multiple languages. Because if we change the database level parameters for supporting languages, we may need to migrate entire tables. this will be a huge task.
Even if want to set the parameters for supporting multiple languages.. how to set it. Is it possible set it in the existing database or do we need to re-create the table with these prameters.
I have read in some documentation, that we can create table columns with nVarchar2 for supporting multi languages. I have created it. but if i copy some other language characters into those columns, it is giving question mark.
Is it possible to do search using text in native langugage like chineese..
Could somebody guide me on the above clarificationa and what would be the best approach..
Thanks in advance
Jino

You should not use any more Oracle 9.0.1 but at least Oracle 9.2.0.8 to get some extended support if you really cannot upgrade to 10g.
I don't have any Oracle 9.x database available but I've run successfully following test with Oracle 10.2.0.1 in character mode under Linux:

Support for Asian Languages

Well, it looks like support for Asian Languages in Dynamic
Textfields wasn't included in this version as well. I have a simple
flash file embeded in an html file with 2 text boxes. Here's the
code I'm using:
var strJapanese = "あらわせて"
var strChinese = "我想你";
japanese_txt.text = strJapanese;
chinese_txt.text = strChinese;
I currently have these fonts installed in the \Windows\Fonts\
directory:
mingliu.ttc
msgothic.ttc
but all I see is a bunch of squares in the text boxes. I have
verified that my pocket pc can use these fonts in other programs.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
BackBayChef

I used both the options but no one helps. Check the images for the understanding the problam. I try Arial unicode ms as other font but it does give correct visiblity of font.
tell some another option.

How to display Forms messages in other language?

Hi Folks
I have installed Forms and Reports Services 10g (9.0.4.0) in a Linux RHAS3 box
and deploy my applications with IE, the messages are in English (e.g.
frm-40100: At first record) now I want to change to Spanish.
I try to modify the default.env, with the follow variables:
NLS_LANG=SPANISH_SPAIN.WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_LANG=LATIN AMERICAN SPANISH.WE8ISO8859P1
and restart the OC4J_BI_FORMS component, but the message don't change to
Spanish.
Please, could you say me in which file I have to change the NLS_LANG? and which .msb file I need to display the messages in other language?
Thanks and regards,
Wilson

Hi,
1. Set the nls_lang=language_territory.characterset in the default.env or any
custom .env file.
2. Check whether the required language's .msb file exists in
<iAS_MidTier>\forms90
Note: With 9iAS rel 1 all the supported languages .msb files are installed by
default. For 9iDS and 9iAS rel 2 and above this has to be done explicitly by selecting the "Product Languages" option.
3. The Locale of the Client PC (Windows), which displays the Form in browser,
has to be set to the same nls_lang. Only then you would be able to see the
Form's characters in that language.
Best Regards,
Eugen Misailescu

Does Active Directory Support Non English Languages?

Hi,
I want to know that does Active Directory Support Non English Languages like japanes, Arabian?
I think we can have domain name in non english languages also. How active directory handles it.
Sandeep Gupta

This actually isn't controlled by Active Directory but by the core operating system and its language packs.

Typing in other languages

Hello,
Is anyone knows how to type in other language, like russian in iphone?
i can see all the Russian symbols when browsing, it even uderstands emails that written in Russian.
So, is there any way I can change keyboard layout to a Russian one?
Thank you.

I have a lot of Vietnamese contacts in Address Book.
Unfortunately in iPhone contacts, many of the
Vietnamese characters show up as empty squares.
The iPhone does not yet support various languages, including Vietnamese, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Tamil.

Lyrics in other languages?

My Ipod Touch has no problem displaying lyrics in English. However, in other languages, it's not displaying right. Any thoughts? I don't think it supports other languages for displaying lyrics.

1) Copy the lyrics from your source.
2) Paste into the lyrics tab of the song(s) when you get info on a song.
3) Sync your Touch.
4) Play the song in portrait mode - not cover flow.
5) Tap the screen once and the lyrics should super-impose on the screen.
