Glossary in Japanese

Using English version to build WebHelp in Japanese, I have
.HHC, .HHK, .GLO files in Japanese, after opening the RoboHelp
project, TOC and Index were displayed fine, but Definition of
glossary term is unreadable. After generating WebHelp, some terms
appeared as blank lines, and some definition remained in corrupted
codes (strangely there were terms displayed OK in Japanese). Any
hint to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Jenny Hung

Here's a way if your used to hand coding and are using tables instead of Floating Boxes/Layers/DIVs...
Set your text up in tables, 1 row for each Japanese term with translate and close links and a row under it for the translation. In the "translation" row, set the cell to have a unique id, like so...
< td id="firstterm">Text you want to appear on page load, or blank if you want nothing to appear< /td>
Then in your "Translate" link you will use GetElementID javascripting like so...
< a href="#" onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('firstterm').innerHTML='Text you want to pop up on click goes here'">Translate< /a>
Your close link...
< a href="#" onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('firstterm').innerHTML='Original text from the cell or blank'">Close< /a>
Each "Translation" row will have a different ID and each GetElementId will reference that ID where you see 'firstterm' above. The page will appear to grow in length when you click the Translate link, and shrink back up when you click the Close link. (remove the space after each < to get the code to work)

  • RH7: Corrupted Special Characters in TOC, Glossary, Favorites, etc.

    When I generate a .chm from a Japanese, Polish, Russian or
    Chinese RoboHelp 7 HTML Help, the special characters are corrupted
    on the .chm file’s Contents, Search, Favorites, and Glossary
    tabs as well in the HTML Help window's title bar.
    For instance the Russian topic title
    “Использование
    приложения”
    is shown approximately as
    “Éñïîëücîâàíèå
    ïdéëîæåíèèÿ”
    on the TOC tab, making it useless for navigation purposes.
    The fonts were initially also corrupted on the TOC inside the
    RH7 project itself until I added charset=UTF-8 info in the
    head/meta of the hhc files. However, there's still no joy when I
    generate HTML Help output.
    I found a reference to someone with a similar problem with a
    RH7 Web help project where the solution was to add UTF-8 BOM to the
    very beginning of the files. Have tried adding UTF-8 BOM to the hhc
    or xpj files, using both Notepad and Dreamweaver, but with no
    result. Someone also recommended the installation of the required
    language packs – I tried, but again without improvement.
    Have you experienced something similar and found a solution,
    please share your knowledge with me.

    I'm no expert in this area but I am beginning to acquire some
    knowledge of the problems in this area.
    First question is, I believe, are you using a unicode font?
    It might be worth trying something such as Arial Unicode.
    I believe the BOM stuff is relevant only to webhelp.
    If changing the font does not work. Please contact me direct
    via my website.

  • Japanese characters in left pane

    I have a project that has been translated into Japanese, and
    the left pane of my FlashHelp system does not render the characters
    correctly. The funny thing is that I got it to work in another
    project that was translated, one that I think was built in X5 (or
    possibly earlier) and has a skin that RoboHelp says should be
    updated when I generate the output. I don't dare change it now, and
    it seems to work fine.
    Unfortunately, I didn't make a record of exactly how I got
    that to work
    , but I seem to remember it had to do with embedding
    Japanese characters in the Flash skin files. Fonts are also
    declared in the skin .fhs file and the accompanying XML file, and
    I'm not sure how they interact, but it seems that the fonts in the
    Flash files supercede those in the skin file.
    In my newer project, the toolbar buttons show up in Japanese,
    as do the "terms" and "definitions" headings in the glossary and
    the index keyword prompt. It's the TOC entries, glossary terms, and
    index terms that have the problem, and they are all driven by the
    file skin_textnode.swf. As long as the other files are set to Arial
    or Arial Unicode MS in Flash, they display Japanese correctly, even
    if Japanese isn't embedded (using "anti-alias for animation").
    Without Japanese embedded in skin_textnode.fla, I get this kind of
    nonsense in the left pane:
    検索する.
    But with Japanese embedded, I get symbols like paragraph symbols,
    plus-or-minus signs, and daggers. I have also saved the .hhc file
    (the TOC) and the .hhk (index) in UTF-8 format using Notepad, but
    no change there. The junk characters also show up in the overlaying
    window when clicking a term in the index, and that's driven by
    skin_index.fla. I've tried the font and character embedding with
    that file. I have tried changing "font-family:Arial" in the skin
    file to both "font:"Arial Unicode MS"" and "font:"Arial"". No
    difference.
    I have compared files with that earlier project. As far as I
    can tell, I have done things comparably, but the junk characters
    persist in the left pane. It doesn't appear that there are
    substantial differences between the way the old and new skins are
    executed to cause the Japanese to work in one and not the other.
    Any ideas that may help me make this work again? I'm using RoboHelp
    6, Windows XP SP2, IE 6. (In theory, making this work for Japanese
    will also solve my problem for Russian. I'm hoping the language
    capabilities of RH7 handle all of this better so I don't have to
    use these work-arounds for non-Roman characters.)
    I know this is a load of information, but I've tried to
    describe the circumstances adequately without writing the great
    American novel. I'll clarify anything that's needed. Thanks,
    Ben

    Solved: I found once more that the TOC, glossary, and index
    information is pulled from files in the whxdata folder:
    whtdata...xml, whgdata...xml, and whidata...xml, respectively,
    which are all in UTF-8 format. The Japanese characters have to be
    changed in these files, but they get overwritten during a build, so
    they have to be stored with the correct characters in another
    location. Fortunately, our glossary will probably not be changing,
    but the TOC and index will grow as the project moves forward, so
    this will take some babysitting.
    This all leads me to wonder why RoboHelp generates copies of
    the .glo, .hhk, and .hhc files into the output folder when it's the
    XML files that are used instead...

  • Glossary Tab and Navigation Controls

    Hi
    Our company has been asked to test our application using a
    Japanese version of Windows. Neither the program nor the help will
    be translated. Our QA department found two help-related problems:
    1. The TOC, Index, and Search tabs appear in Japanese, but
    the Glossary tab does not.
    2. The Navigation Control I inserted for the Related Topics
    appears as a square with a dot in the middle as if it were a
    missing image, and nothing happens when you click it.
    I'd appreciate any help you can offer to either show the
    Glossary tab in Japanese, or the other three in English, and to get
    my Related Topics popup back.
    I use RoboHelp 7.02 HTML and generate CHM files.
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    Hi there
    Likely you need the 64 bit version of the HHActiveX.dll. I believe this is only available in RoboHelp HTML version 9.
    If you have version 9 I received this from a Question I asked of Adobe:
    ...you can get the 64 bit version of HHActiveX.dll in  RoboHelp 9.0. It is kept at "<RoboHelp 9.0 install  folder>\Redist\x64\HHActiveX.dll"
    If RoboHelp 9.0 is  installed on your machine, this activeX control is already registered.  Otherwise you need to register this DLL.
    To register HHActiveX.dll,
    1> Run Command prompt(cmd.exe) as administrator
    2> Type "regsvr32 <HHActiveX.dll full path>" and press Enter.
    3> This should show that the registration is done successfully.
    Now working with 64 bit version of HH.exe should also show Glossary and Browse Sequences.
    You might download version 9 and test.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

    How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

    To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font.  Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type.  The font will take care of itself.

    I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
    He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
    But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set  up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car  pato caa パトカア　they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.

  • Quickly populating the Glossary

    I like the idea in the info below, posted 08 Nov 2006 by La
    Menting, but does not work. I have 4 entries in my glossary--need
    to add about 100 more. However, when I open the project's .glo
    file, it is empty. I saved my project closed RH 7, and the file is
    still empty. Any ideas?
    II recently converted a WinHelp project to HTML. The only
    problem I've encountered is that the Glossary entries are all in
    bold and a larger font than the normal HTML Glossary output. It's
    extremely ugly and gives me a headache after looking at only two or
    three entries. Because I subscribe to the “be kind to the
    customer” philosophy, I'd like to fix this. Does anyone have
    the solution? Any help will be much appreciated...by me, at least.

    * open your .glo file in notepad.
    * copy and paste your glossary on another notepad - delete
    the text entry on your current .glo file.
    * paste the entry on the other notepad back to the .glo file
    which is currenty in notepad.
    of course don't forget to backup your original .glo file
    before doing this.
    Example of .glo entry
    NAME=Data
    Definition of Data.
    NAME=Element
    Definition of Element.
    NAME should be in uppercase followed by an = sign then your
    glossary entry. Ensure the definition appears on the very next
    paragraph.

    Hi yenelli
    The only thing that comes to mind here is that maybe you
    aren't looking in the right location. Assuming you have four
    entries in your Glossary, there should be data in the file. This
    would suggest that you aren't looking at the right file.
    It may be helpful to employ one of my all time favorite
    RoboHelp tricks here. To quickly open Windows Explorer in the
    Project location. Just right-click any topic in your project and
    choose Properties (It may also say Topic Properties). Then click
    the File tab. See that button in the lower right of the dialog? The
    one labeled Open Folder? Click that puppy and Windows Explorer
    should pop open in your project location. Sweet, huh?
    Now try looking at the .GLO file you find there and see if
    you are able to see your entries.
    Let us know how you make out... Rick Cheers

  • Pages'08 super slow with Japanese characters

    I understand that Pages'08-slowness has been discussed on this forum already. I'd like to add my experience and ask for ideas. Maybe somebody else has already solved this problem somehow.
    When I start writing in Japanese in Pages'08, after some time the application will slow down to the point that it takes 2-3 minutes for Pages to open just a menu or display a character. The HDD is working heavily. I usually try to at least save the document and force Pages to quit.
    Quite a disappointment, as I did not have the same problem with the earlier version!
    I appreciate your comments.

    I should have mentioned this before, but I just noticed that the type lag occurs worst when typing within a table. In a document, I have a table that is four columns by twenty or so rows. When I type or do anything inside the table, the %CPU for Pages is as high as 89%! Outside the table, it's around 20%. In a blank document in Pages, typing takes between 16-20% CPU. Still, that seems like a lot of power, so I checked Word; it uses less than half the CPU, about 7%, while typing in a blank document. Holy cow! (r.i.p. Phil Rizzuto) I did the same test in a new user account and the results were identical.
    I'm thinking this is a Pages problem. So, in Pages preferences, I turned off "Show auto-completion list" - no change. Turning off "check spelling as you type" helps some, but still a noticeable and annoying lag. But I don't want to have to turn off Pages' features just to be able to use it. I also tried deleting the .plist files, didn't help. Maybe I'll try a re-install of iWork.
    Is it normal for Pages to take up this much CPU? When I get home I'll test it on my G5...

  • Help needed in setting up Japanese Database

    Hi there,
    Help needed in setting up Japanese Database.
    I created database with UTF8 character set on Sun Solaris O/S.
    Oracle version 8.1.7.
    I am accessing the DB through SQL*Plus (Windows client).
    I downloaded the Japanese font on client side and also set the NLS_LANG environment variable to Japanese_Japan.UTF8. Still, I am not able to view Japanese characters. O/S on client side is Windows 2000 professional (English). Is O/S (client) need to be Japanese O/S? When I try to retrieve sysdate, its displaying in Japanese but not all characters in Japanese. Can anyone help me out how to set up the client and is there any parameters to be setup at server side? I also tried to insert japanese characters into table through client, but it displaying as "?????" characters. Any help in this regard is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

    your program is working just fine.
    do you know what accept does? if not read below.
    serversocket.accept() is where java stops and waits for a (client)socket to connect to it.
    only after a socket has connected wil the program continue.
    try putting the accept() in its own little thread and let it wait there while your program continues in another thread

    As you said :-
    Note that changing database character set is something complicated that requires many steps.
    Can you please provide me some links or some stuffs to study about the detail steps of chaining database character set.
    I have gone through the Oracle online documentation.. if you can pin point any good link in it you can else provide me some other stuff.
    Thanks .You will need to convert your database characterset to AL32UTF8. This is not a trivial exercise if your database already has data in it. See these MOS Docs

  • Converting garbled characters for JAPANESE characters in a custom table

    Hi all,
    I have a custom table that store Japanese characters.
    After my company has upgraded to ECC6.0, this data in the custom table has become garbled and its alot of it garbled.
    Is there any SAP tool that can I use to make the correction on those garbled Japanese characters?
    Thanks,

    Hi Nils,
    I really really really had a field day reading and testing around UC... To my dissappointment, I do not have the authorization to use SUMG and SCP too as well as a few of the TCODES...
    I finally told my higher level technical mgnt. that this table might need some changes...
    Has this problem of mine got anything to do with MDMP since its no longer supported in ECC6 and I found one coding that search for MDMP in RSVTPROT...
    My colleagues suggest that the data be corrected from table DBTABLOG... which i find, in my opinion, is not the right way...

  • German Umlaute don't work after upgrading to Yosemite with Japanese Romaji Layout set on U.S.

    Hi everyone,
    previously i could just use [ALT] + [U] and then press [A] / [a] / [U] / [u] / [O] / [o] to generate the german umlaut version.
    After installing Yosemite this does not work anymore, which is kinda frustrating. Cause it forces me to add another keyboard layout and switch when i have to write a german umlaut.
    I was previously using 'Input Source' > 'Japanese' > Enabled Romaji (Romaji layout was set to U.S.) & Hiragana.
    For testing purpose i added the Standard U.S. Layout and writing the Umlaut with the keyboard shortcut still works there. So that's why i think this is a Romaji specific bug.
    Has anyone any idea what's wrong ? Did Apple change something ?
    Best Regards

    Before I stumbled upon this thread, there was no flag at all. I had the character viewer there because pre-Yosemite it was the only way to access emoji (and things like arrows and other special symbols) in many apps (and still is for my Adobe CS5 apps). Additionally, I would use the keyboard viewer from time to time as a way to learn which keys to use for other special symbols (bring up the keyboard viewer and press option or shift-option or other combinations and it would show you a preview of what each key would generate).
    While reading this thread, I added more input sources (US International and US Extended) and would see the flags. The flags replaced the previous character/keyboard viewer menu icon. I switched between each flag to test my issue under each, to no avail.  Then I tried adding the Spanish keyboard but still had the same issue.
    Now I've removed all the input sources except the primary US keyboard. There is no longer a flag in my menu, it's gone back to the character viewer icon.
    The issue is still there. When I type option-r, u, or g, in any app nothing happens at all.
    Unfortunately, neither auto-substitution nor press-and-hold work in Adobe CS5 apps, which is where I need to use these special characters the most.
    Thank you for reaching out
