Foreign language Voices - Mandarin Chinese

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone has a Mandarin Chinese voice compatible with Voice-Over and other programs on the Mac....
I have a sight-impared friend who gets email in Chinese - it would be fantastic if he could hear them being read!!
regards
Gareth

Any advice for FOREIGN language lyrics?

Pearlyrics can only search for English language lyrics .. is there an equivalent for foreign languages such as Chinese and French?

Is there any way to change Apple's default fonts for Greek and Hebrew into these other fonts?
No.
But word processors often have features like "styles" where you set the font, if that helps. Nisus Writer has a system of preferences where the font can be set for each language.

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.

Maps search nearby in foreign language

last night, i just updated my e90 and my girlfriend's n95 maps application as soon as i found out that have a new update. turns out to be more problems than a blessing.
first of all, all my previously downloaded maps have to be deleted and redownloaded again with the new maps loader. the new menus in maps have been swapped around that it tooks some time getting used to. then we found a bug beta testers definitely missed.
if my maps setting have set never use network, these menus are working fine:
find place >> nearby
or
use this place >> search nearby
but as soon as i turn use network back to when needed, these menus appear in a foreign language what looks to be german. hey com'on i don't read german. this happens exactly identically for both my e90 and my gf's n95. so its not phone specific problem, and it happened to other e90 users in forums. i also know this is not phone region problem bcoz my product code is singapore, and my gf's n95 is hk. so if it was region specific language should it show up in chinese instead? so **bleep**?! i used to love using map to search stuff, now i don't even feel like touching it until it is fixed assuming it will ever be fixed

I can confirm that. Nokia screwed that. They are in German indeed. This update should not be released.Message Edited by simcard on 15-Sep-200706:46 PM

Captivate 5 English-to-Foreign-Language Font Errors

I am working with a large client who has experienced translation errors in Captivate 4 transfers to Captivate 5. The font they've used didn't translate into Chinese, and when the course was updating to Cap 5, everything basically broke.
My inquiry is about which Captivate fonts can translate into the top 15 foreign languages most widely used in BOTH Captivate 4 and Cap 5? Has anyone done any research into this area? Does anyone knows which fonts DO and DON'T translate fully given all the necessary symbols and characters in both versions?
Thanks for your help!
Steve

Hi Steve,
Welcome to captivate forum.
I did not get the scenario exactly.
Are you facing the issues with the text caption font, when captivate 4 project created in english version tried to open in captivate 5 chinese version?
Is it with the font type or caption text?
Regards,
Vikranth.

Auto Speech Alignment for foreign language dubbing

I just watched the excellent "How to use Auto Speech Alignment in Audition" video on Adobe TV, and noticed that he mentions that ASA can be utilized to add foreign language dubs to a video. I find myself in that very process at the moment, and would really like to hear how ASA can help, but all the video mentions is the fact that it supposedly can.

I suggest also using the "Comments" section for the page that the video is on as well. This may get more eyes here, but it _should_ get the eyes of the video's producer there.
Anyways, the technology, does use spectral information in getting the alignment. This is how it can achieve better results sometimes when compared to older existing technologies for automatic alignment. For example, a waveform envelope may not be able to tell sibilance from a vowel sound when comparing an overdub vs the original field audio. However, this is easy when looking at the spectral information and it can achieve a tighter alignment for that.
That is, of course, assuming that the same words are being spoken in a similar way between the two clips.
As for two different languges, I think it is a "Your Mileage May Vary" situation. I think the intent of the suggestion is probably hoping that this feature can save you time if you wanted to get better lip-sync. However, one can easily imagine that if the dubbed audio is stretched or squeezed too far that it (A) won't sound natrual, but more importantly (B) disrupts the performance of the voice actor. On the other hand, if it is just doing micro adjustments it can make the timing better match that of the original mouth movements because it is making it match the timing of the original audio.
I would suggest people with actual real-world content to try it out and preferebly post a video of your results (either positive or negative). That would be a good way to further the discussion.

Webpages often show foreign language even after English made preference. How do I fix that?

When I go to websites, the text is in either a foreign language or wingdings. I never know when this will happen. Web sites that have never done this before are now doing it. I have to close Firefox and use Internet Explorer which I don't like. I have gone to options and made English (US) my preference, restarted the computer, but no change. This happens on websites I use often. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thank you.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size. 
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead. 
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller. 
 
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem. 
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.

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...

When typing Ff turns it into a foreign language automatically, how to disable this function?

When typing　in Ff turns it into a foreign language like chinese　automatically,
how to disable this function?　I am copying and pasting from an outside source in order to fill this info in.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about 3 days ago

Hi Stefan, thank you for replying, and sorry for the delay.
Here is an example. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=F3BF58EFEC14E64B!127&authkey=!ABhtu2udead5u-0&ithint=file%2cdocx
It appears that OneDrive does not show this problem unless you select "edit document" then "edit in word". I have Word 07, and in there it causes the sloppy-looking, different indent sizes I am trying to fix.
Thank you for any insights you may be able to share.

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.

How do you install foreign language fonts?

Does anyone know how to install foreign language fonts that doesn't come with iPad?

Nobody here has any way to tell you that, and Apple itself never provides this kind of info. Make sure you tell them you want it here:

(Even on a desktop/laptop Mac with the full version of OS X Ethiopic currently requires installing 3rd party software. I can provide the source if you are interested)

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
