Foreign language email display

Hi all,
For my work, I receive some emails that are written in Spanish. I used to be able to see them fine. Then recently the special characters are no longer displayed and now emails from certain senders (all from abroad) are displayed in a string of random character and can't be read at all.
Any idea of what just happened?
This is a recent issue (3-4 weeks). I have a MacBook pro that's 1 year old.
Many thanks for your help

Then recently the special characters are no longer displayed and now emails from certain senders (all from abroad) are displayed in a string of random character and can't be read at all.
Could you send me some screen shots of what you are talking about (tom at bluesky dot org)? It could be junk fonts on your system or encoding glitches or a problem at the sending end.

How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses

How can I filter or block foreign language emails or email addresses??
TIA

Most email clients have a provision to create a 'rule'. The rule examines the email as it is received. In generally you can search for specifically senders, recipients,subjects, or specific content words in the body. Based upon the findings of the rule, you can do something with the email (such as end it directly to the Trash).
For example if you know where all of valid you emails come from, you can create a rule that checks the from field for an acceptable sender and sends those email's that to the inbox, while sending all emails from other senders to the trash or spam folder
Keeping out foreign language emails is often difficult because because often it is difficult to come up with a rule that will catch them on the basis of language they are written in.
There are also commercial products that can scan incoming email and 'score' the email based upon content, and you decide at what 'score' you want the mail sent straight to the trash or spam folder. Verizon's spam filter does this based upon Verizon's scoring system, and actually does catch a lot of spam. It also occaisonally catches things that are not spam however....
Hope that is helpful

Thanks!
For some reason the "content transfer encoding" is not being processed. In the first case it is "quoted-printable" and in the second it is "base-64." Sorry, I don't know what causes this. Normally this stuff should be converted automatically to normal letters before you see it, and normal emails contain code that tells the computer to do that. Perhaps that code is being deleted somewhere.

Foreign language (Polish) display

Hi,
When displaying a Polish document through KPRO, some users are able to see Polish-specific characaters, whereas others get scrambled nonsense like Åu0161WIEÅ»OÅu0161Äu2020
Any idea why one user can see this information and others cannot? The PCs seem identical. Is it a setting on KPRO? Neither user can see Polish characters normally in SAP which actually isn't an issue - it's just in the KPRO document viewer that this problem has arisen. Is it something to do with different versions of Adobe services runnong on the PCs maybe?
It's displaying an invoice. VF03 > toolbar > Attachment list > select attachment > connects to KPRO > displays document in document viewer
Thanks.

Hi William,
based on your description could you please tell us which ECL Viewer (Document Viewer) version you are using currently.
In case you are using a special CAD font please note that this has to be maintained in the SHX path for the ECL Viewer too.
Please refer to note 726667 for the Loader Preferences feature. You need to set the SHX path for these special fonts to view them properly. You can do this in the Viewer under menu Viewer > 2D loader preferences > DWG/DXF > SHX font path.
Could you please check if on the effected PC a polish language package is installed correctly.
Best regards,
Christoph

Email body in foreign language??

I have 2 e-mail addresses directed to my Blackberry. Some of the e-mails, not all, from one of the addresses (it's an att.net address) are coming through in a foreign language. Not on my desktop, only on the Blackberry. The Subjet Line is fine, the from address and to address are fine (english), but the body of the e-mail is either a foreign language or gobbledeygook (can't tell which, though they appear to be mostly possible German words???)
Maddening. Have deleted that address and set it up as new, annd the same things happens.

Hi!
I think this is possible if you are using a Unicode system. In non-unicode systems (4.6C or below), you might have to login to the system in taiwanese and hard code the text.
Cheers!

How to get lookup to help in foreign languages (Fr.It.Greek, Latin) while reading email (incl attachments) or web articles?

I use MBP not iPad. Lookup would be most useful in foreign languages I use.

If you open the Dictionary app in the Dictionary Preferences you can add British English, German, Japanese, French, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese. No Italian, Greek or Latin. You might send feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and ask to include more languages.

Foreign Language Fonts

Hi all
I have an Authorware piece which gets screen text and image
references from an Access database using ODBC.
My remit is now to produce the piece for several Foreign
languages. Some of them such as Polish and Czech have special
characters.
When I copy the text into the database or even a text
processor, these special characters display OK. However when I try
to put them into Authorware in Display Icons, the characters do not
show correctly.
I am sure that there must be something I am missing on the
properties side, so can anyone please advise.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think native Authorware text handles unicode very
well. You may be
able to get rtfOb.u32 to handle it.

Problem with charsets for foreign languages

hi
i have a problem with a webapplication
in my webapplication i have some code that gets data from a webpage of another webapplication. This other web application can use many foreign languages
the problem is that those foreign languages contain some special characters, and those special chars aren't displayed the right way
this is the code to get the data from the other webapp
private static StringBuffer getContent(String sUrl) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
        StringBuffer content = new StringBuffer();
        URL url = new URL(sUrl);
        HttpURLConnection httpURLConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        httpURLConn.setRequestProperty("charset", "utf-8");
        BufferedReader buffReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpURLConn.getInputStream()));
        String inputLine;
        while ((inputLine = buffReader.readLine()) != null) {
            content.append("\n" + inputLine);
        return content;
    }as you see , i tried to set the encoding to UTF-8 but that did not solve the problem

an example of those special chars

Hp printer 3050 all in one j610 series. My window is in a foreign language

Hi, am wanting to purchase the above printer, it is 2nd hand & I urgently need to set it up to ensure it is working properly.
I however cannot change the foreign language in the window to put in mine. Can anyone help please. I never received a manual.

Hi @Seagul ,
I see by your post that you would like to know how to change the language on the printer's display.
I would be happy to help you.
Select the Setup icon on the printer. (should be the first one or top one on the display)
Select the third option in the list. (Language)
Then select your desired language.
If you are still not able to change the language, I can send the reset in a private message.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Reading XML file having various foreign languages from web application.

Greeting..
I'm dealing with a so-called serious problem where-in:
I've to read one of the configuration files(XML files) having values in different foreign languages (like Chinese, Japanese, Arabic etc). I've to read that file contents, in as it is form, in such a way that user can read / change the data from the web application.
I'm showing the XML file inside the TextArea (the HTML <textarea> tag. While reading this file, it got converted to junk values instead of actual ones. While saving this file it changes those original values to junk in file as well.
I'm using SAX parser with DefaultHandler.
Better suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Do NOT display the characters to determine the problem. Instead take a small sample and print the numeric values. And do that at each stage/layer until they do not match.

Why can't Preview search in a foreign language?

I have a long .pdf document in Russian but find, as in the past, that words placed in Preview's search bar always get no hits.
If Preview can display a text in a foreign language, why can't it search for words in that language?

Try Adobe Reader instead of Preview.
The basic problem is that the pdf format is not reliable for searching, and sometimes even copy/pasting non-Latin text. Depending on how it is produced, the internal representation of the text can easily become useless garbage.

How can i set predictive text to a foreign language

I'm new to apple and iPhones. I've got everything setup in English but I frequently want to send text and/or email messages in French. When I do this predictive text jumps in and changes things to what it thinks I want in English. e.g. if I type tous it predicts I want toys and inserts it accordingly. How can I set predictive text to a foreign language.
(p.s. my wife's iPad works fine as it has a button to press for alternative language but I don't see anything similar for iPhone)

Add the French keyboard.
