Foreign language input problem

Hi,
I was using the "ITABC" that goes with Mac OSX to input Chinese.
It worked pretty well until a few days ago. Now I cannot input Chinese into my computer anymore. Is there a way out?
Thank you very much!

. Now I cannot input Chinese into my computer anymore. Is there a way out?
Could you explain what happens when you try to do that in more detail? Does it affect all apps?

Language input problems

Hi,
My problems have had me gone frustrated before I update to Yosemite.
First, when I'm using Chinese input, the first alphabet key isn't registered if I only tap click the input field. However, if I physically click the input field, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Secondly, while typing Chinese on Safari, half way changing the language from Chinese to English causing the keyboard not working to any further typing nor deleting typed word, but only highlight the typed word and re-type again can solve the problem in typing.
Also, the Chinese bar display disorientatedly on screen.
After updated to Yosemite, my macbook is getting more sluggish than before.
Technical support in Malaysia is not satisfied. Problems still persist although I sent for software repair and update. Truly helpless
Anyone could help?

Problem like this has happened before updating to yosemite.
Is it because of bugs?

Foreign language input on "Solaris 10"

Hello.
I installed "Solaris 10" via 5 CD's (minus the 6th, Languages CD).
My question is in what way can the GNOME desktop present an indicator of a language other than English?Via Preferences>Keyboard Layout I added Serbian, German and Bulgarian (it seems tha under my configuration four is the maximal number of languages I can add).The system did not reported any failure or error.
However, I do not know how to enable the keyboard to make inputs in Cyrillic alphabets (Serbian and Bulgarian) or in German latin.
There is no indicator present in the bottom panel, neither is one to be founded under items that may be added to the panel.
As you all know, even the feeblest of Linux distributions and all Windows distribution do provide a multilanguage support, available usually via icon that may be swithched or expanded into menu.I would be most surprised that a serious OS like Solaris would fail to provide such a simple solution to the needs of its users worldwide.
Thus I believe that the mistake is on a me: did I made a mistake by not selecting all those languages , or some of them (thinking that these are only files for regionalization of the GUI) or is there some other way, with or without the sixth CD, to establish an easy method for prompt switching among languages for keyboard input on the Solaris's GNOME-like desktop?
Can anybody of you could kindly explain me what is the issue here.
Thank you.

Thank you.serveral questions -
did you choose to install the locales you are referring to ?
if so, can you login to the terninal and choose one of those locales
and when you are in the gnome session, in the terminal if you
type echo $LC_ALL, it shows you the value for those locales ?
when typing xset q - what are the results - part of those results
shows the font path, and that is needed to be set for the fonts
to be found, though if locales are installed and you login to the
locale, that is set for you.
from that terminal can you input the characters of that locale, using
the key combinations that are needed ?
or could it be the 6th CD is needed, that it might have the locale info
and fonts for the locales you are referring to ?
Please send this addtional information when you can.

Foreign Language Input Help

I am not too sure if this is the sub forum to express this problem.
OK, I bought my phone in Singapore and obviously, the language settings would be in Chinese, English or Malay.
What if I want to add another language into my phone, eg: Thai? I was browsing through some Thai websites from my phone and I noticed all the Thai words became boxes instead of the normal Thai scripts.
Sometime I want to text message my Thai friends when I copy Thai scripts from my computer and try to load them into my phone. Is this possible if there is a way to make my phone read a language that it does not have?
Thanks.

You can ask a nokia care point to add languages to your phone. There may be a small charge for this service.

Assign alert sound to foreign language input

I'm not a good typist, and I can not keep my eyes on the screen when I type.
I use English and Japanese input. Sometimes I type in wrong language and waste a lot of time.
Is there anyway to assign an alert sound when I start typing in the secondary language, so I know which input mode without checking the menu bar.

AFAIK, this is impossible.

Foreign language format problem

Hi,
I have a glossary of Tibetan words that was made in MS Excel using a form of transliteration in Latin characters, and now I want to update it using Tibetan fonts, which I use in Pages.
So long as I am clicked in the cell, the word displays correctly. The moment I move to the next cell it falls apart (Tibetan words are often composed of glyphs and stacks with multiple components). I use a commercial Unicode font.
How can I make this function properly? It would be very useful to show the Tibetan characters. I have selected the column and chosen the font and size etc - so it works but is useless!
Best wishes

I use XenoType (New and Drepung) and yes, the problem appeared with Kokonor and Kailasa as well. The same thing occurred when I tried to use a vocabulary testing program as a widgit some time ago.
I have now duplicated your problem. It must be a bug of some sort. I seem to be able to get the characters to hold together if I copy/paste them into cells from another document without changing the font in Numbers, but not sure if that is reliable or useful.
Well, since I would have to type the words first in Pages, I might as well use the table format in Pages too - and maybe then import the whole things into Numbers later. Certainly Numbers would be helpful to use as it handles the cells so much better.
And this happens quite often on the internet too - I can never quite pin it down but sometimes webpages won't display Tibetan properly.
What does one do about bugs? I'm surprised now that Apple is supporting Tibetan fonts.

BB 9900 japanese language input problems

My platform is MAC OS and I live in Luxembourg. My carrier is Luxgsm.
I am trying to download the East Asian Language pack so that I may be able to write in Japanese.
I already downloaded the desktop for mac. I cannot find the language pack which can be downloaded in a Mac and consequently I cannot use Japanese on the the BB.
Are there any solutions for this ?
I went through the forums even on those of crackberry but I did not find a convicing answer
BB is getting way too complicated. No wonder it 's losing pace

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

Firefox freeze whenever tired to change language input

Hi. Whenever I tried to change language input to enter other languages Firefox freeze (program not responding).
It happens as soon as I hit alt+shift or when I click language bar to select other language.
It also happens with several languages (that I tested, might be all), and I tried various input software/mode including windows default, all freeze. Reset Firefox under help does not work either.
This issue occur with Firefox and Chrome, but not IE... Might not be Firefox problem as it happen w Chrome, but and ideas please? Thanks.
J
Edit:
* regedit might be changed, but do not believe touched internet setting.
* I can enter foreign language as long as I set that language to default, and do not change to other language in the language bar. Currently I am using foreign language input software as default, and switch to English input '''within '''that software.

Hi. karaoke I am not sure if its the same issue. The crash at language switch on my computer was due to the IME for Eastern Language Banks (Language option -> Detail under text services and input languages -> Properties -> reset/untick auto learn).
If you are not using Eastern Language IME... I am sure others here have more experience and can better help you. =)

I set up the primary language to English while initializing the MBP, but at the log-in page, the language appears to be a foreign language I don't use, after restart, the language turned into English, has anyone come across the same problem

I set up the primary language to English while initializing the MBP, but at the log-in page, the language appears to be a foreign language I don't use, after restart, the language turned into English, has anyone come across the same problem, and is that normal?

i have a similar problem...It seems to be tied to my guest account. It is set to Japanese as primary language but my main login is set to English. I tried changing the guest account to english but the change won't hold. It always reverts to Japanese.

E90 problem installing foreign language pack with ...

Hi everyone, I am unable to install the language pack which needed for the billingual dictionary to function with, my E90 already have 2 foreign languages including English.
Do I need to remove one of the other language that came with the device because it exceeds 3 or a 4th can also exist? Has anyone done this before or can offer some advice? thanks.

The pre-installed dictionary you are refering to is the simplified chinese dictionary.
I have tried looking for it in the entire nokia website and cant seem to find it anymore, however i found some in the download option on the phone
Its under the Download > Fun & Activity > MOT dictionary > there are a few languages for you to choose from.
However the files on the download may vary from country to country.
You may also try getting it from www.mosh.nokia.com
Thanks for the kudos..
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

Xcode updating MySQL through phpScript in foreign languages

I've a code in xcode which runs a web link to execute phpScripts.
================================================================================ ====
NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.???.com/1.php?customerid=你好"];
// to execute php code
NSData *dataURL = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strURL]];
// to receive the returend value
NSString *strResult = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:dataURL encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
================================================================================ ====
The problem with this is, when I try to input a foreign language as the variable 'customerid', the script will not be executed. Only English will be understood and executed, every other languages with foreign characters will not be executed.
Please advise.

You can't put anything other than plain, 7-bit ASCII in source code. You are even more restricted in URLs.
A URL should live in a resource and it any high-order bytes should be encoded somehow.

Foreign Languages Not Working - Please Help!!

Summary:
I created a eCard application in Flash where a user can type in a message and a friend's name and email.
The card works perfectly for English and Latin characters, but is displaying NOTHING for Korean, Japanese, etc...
The text field is dynamic and the text is being pulled out of a database via php script that creates an XML on the fly.
All settings are set to UTF-8.
In the dynamic textfield, I have it set to embed all the specific character glyphs I need. IE. Korean, Japanese, etc..
Anyone have any clue why the foreign characters are not displaying?
Thanks,
DK

I'm not understanding your whole set up.
So they input the characters into an input text field? Do the characters show up there?
Then the file generates some XML that goes through PHP to a database.
And then back again to be displayed in a dynamic textfield?
At which point are the characters breaking? Are they getting to the database correctly? Is the database sending them out correctly?
I've been on these forums a long time and very often with this type of thing the UTF-8 formatting is getting lost. Really. People are absolutley sure they are using that and then at some step the find out that isn't actually the case. So check that very, very carefully. Really.
Beyond that I have heard occasionally that Flash under certain configurations has problems with some of the more unusually language input methods. I'm not sure of the details, but that would be a good place to look.

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.

Using a foreign language with the Java I/O, and saving to flat file.

I want to use a foreign language in my program, in particular, russian. I want to be able to input the russian text into a GUI and then save the data in a flat file as well as retrieve it again. I am able to save some type of data to the flat file but it is unreadable. Question marks or some other unreadable characters appear instead.
I am also not able to write in a foreign font. Can someone give me some advice for how to input a foreign language into with a GUI, save the information in a flat file, and retrieve it again.

If you have got a String in Java somehow regardless of interior encoding mode, you can write it in a text file with an encoding you would like (e.g., UTF8).
//import java.io.*;
String str = "ABCEDFG";
try{
   BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("out.txt"),"UTF8"));
   bw.write(str);
   bw.close();
}catch(IOException ioe){
    //process
}
