Gnome-language-selector

i've read that to solve a problem that i have using virtualbox, i may use gnome-language-selector and enable "Enable support to enter complex characters".
where's gnome-language-selector on Arch? i've tried gconf-editor to enable this, but i couldn't find anything.
any suggestions?

It looks like it's an ubuntu program. It seems that you can get it here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/hardy … e-selector.

Language selector works fine but just for one language

Hi, I've got this language selector working for english language, it is just a combo box and a text label, you select the language in the combo box and it shows the label translated to that language, it works for english, but now I'm trying to make it work for Spanish. This is done in the commented part of the text but when I try to compile that part I get the error in this line:
Locale localizacion2 = Locale.ES;
as if Locale.ES does not exist.
I listed all the Locales and there it is an ES locale, and i did the same for both languages, can't find what's wrong...
I defined the Datos_en_US.properties file containing just this line:
TextLabel = Hellooooooooo
and it works fine
and I also defined the Datos_es_ES for the spanish translation.

This is a very stupid question and maybe for another post, but I couldn't try the class you posted here
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5203492
because I couldn't compile it because I downloaded the library and got the folder in for example here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Mis documentos\softsmithy-v20070520\softsmithy-v20070520\src\org\softsmithy\lib
From there I added them one by one to my own folder (the one where I have my Java projets and where I downloaded the class you posted) and then I started recompiling each class I was asked for when started compiling the class you posted, but there are so many classes in the library, each one needed to compile the other and I don't know how to compile all at once or include the whole library as a package..

Language Selector Component Choice

Hi Everyone,
I have a Flash AS2 Pull-Down language selector for 11 languages that I use for Director 11, Authorware 7 and web pages. Now, time marches on and I must add 19 more languages. It will be too large for several of it use locations. I also re-work it for OEM versions where I add or delete a few languages. I need to remain with the AS2 for backwards compatibility. It won't fit with the new languages.
I am looking for examples, samples, ideas, free components and FLAs. I have 3 variables (4 if you count regions) that I pass/use/display to set and display localised content. I am really looking for a free spinning globe I can modify for regions and usability improvements tha tI may get requested to do. Can anyone help me?
I already detect the OS or browser language. I am using Flash CS3.
I have been looking at menus with submenus for regions, spinning globes (with regional hot spots), Trees, etc. for my new language selector. I am looking for pieces that I can ultimately take and create dynamically with lists or XML. I would like to create global regions. I have not found a good, free spinning globe I can use yet. I did find an example for making one using masks. It might cause issues with my large Authorware developed projects. Authorware seems to see undisplayed pieces of flash components and cause interaction problems. I would like to build a globe with all the UTF-8 codes in an XML reference the includes the Lang code, 1-3 locale lang. phrases, a region number and active state of language in the for the project.
Icons are best because they require little or no translations (and their associated font issues) - that is why the globe method is so attractive.
Thanks,
Jim Wiley

Avant-window-navigator doesn't start & problems changing gnome languag

hey there everybody!
this is my first post in this forum after a few days trying arch:)
simply love it... doesn't require too much efort(but if it did it would be a pleasure:) )
well let's stick to the issue...
here it goes:
i've searched through the web and i've found that to change my language to portuguese i would have to edit rc.conf so it would be like this:
LOCALE="pt-BR.UTF8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Portugal"
KEYMAP="pt-latin1"
CONSOLEFONT="Agafari-12"
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
the problem is that after this it is still in english and when i type locale -a i get this
[root@myhost foka]# locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.iso885915
en_US.utf8
i haven't found any gnome-i18n alike's so i really need help on this one although i'm confortable with english
the secound problem.. i've installed avant-window-navigator from source but when i try to start it or use configuration tools i get this
Failed to execute child process "avant-window-navigator" (No such file or directory)
i hope you can help me:)
good hacking:D

thank u byte and andre.ramaciotti for answering to my post:)
i've already solved the gnome language problem...
byte i've typed /usr/local/bin/avant-window-manager and it worked thanks
i can show you my PATH:
[foka@myhost ~]$ $PATH
bash: /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/opt/mozilla/bin: No such file or directory

/usr/local/bin has to be placed there right? how to?
thanks:)

Language selector scope

Hi! I'm trying to let the end user select the language of a menu, to do that first I developed this Selector class, that is only a form showing a label and a combo box where he selects the language, here he can select the language of the label I show in the form and works fine.
Now I need to use this combo box to select the language of the whole application, to try this I have another class named menu where I show the user some options (FILE, HELP,) when he selects FILE and then CONFIGURATION I show him the Selector class where he should select the language of the options.
The question is: where do I set the text of all the labels showed in the menu class? in the selector class? in the if else sentences of the selector class do I have to set the text of the menu class labels?
So If my application had 100 menues and submenues all of their labels should be set there?
I think that all the labels should be in one file (Datos in my example) but should all the labels of all the menues also be set in one class??

I don't understand, if I've got an application with 100 GUI classes, I don't see how does this work.
My 2 classes example I think could work to show my problem, in the Menu class when user hits in CONFIGIRATION I call the Selector class:
void jMenuConf_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Selector dlg = new Selector();
dlg.setVisible( true) ;
} in Selector class is where I define the different locales (one for each language) and the label for each one, so the Menu class never gets those locales, and if I had other 100 classes they would not notice that change.
Do I have to declare the CONFIGURATION option and all the other options in the Selection class?

Language selector for resourcebundle

Hi! I was asked to internationalizate a lot of menues, and I'm stuck in how the user selects the language, in here
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/intro/after.html
the language is passed as a parameter but I need the user to select it from a menu, in here
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/joconner/archive/2004/04/i18n_howto_just.html
i've found what i need but still with no user parameters and I can't find out how to select the language in a swing interface and pass it to the resourcebundle

E17 language selector bug

Hey, so I've made a switch to E17 (community/e-svn from), and found that a long known bug doesn't let me use the keyboard layout switcher tool. Google gives nothing, the ticket is open. I just wanted to ask, has anyone here stumbled upon this problem and solved it?

Thanks anyway.
This is a very stupid question and maybe for another post, but I couldn't try the class you posted here
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5203492
because I couldn't compile it because I downloaded the library and got the folder in for example here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Mis documentos\softsmithy-v20070520\softsmithy-v20070520\src\org\softsmithy\lib
From there I added them one by one to my own folder (the one where I have my Java projets and where I downloaded the class you posted) and then I started recompiling each class I was asked for when started compiling the class you posted, but there are so many classes in the library, each one needed to compile the other and I don't know how to compile all at once or include the whole library as a package..

In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file?

In RoboHelp 11 Responsive HTML5, is it possible to have 2 different language outputs in one generated output file, similar to WebHelp where the use can select the language from a drop-down list? In Webhelp output you could create multiple Content categories. Is there something similar with the responsive output, or am I forced to have a completely separate set of output files for each language (for example, English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic)?

As Rick, mentions, there's no default way.
Having said that, there's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. You can add a kind of language selector to the layout and set that for every html5 output. With some JavaScript, you can have the user switch between your outputs. It would look like content categories, but you'll have build it yourself.

How do I select a language?

Hover your mouse over the Account drop down on the top navigation bar

In the “Account Info” section, click the “Edit Language” link

Asian language (Thai) not displaying correctly

Hi,
I am using a the downloaded TextFlow Hello World example to display text (Flash CS4). Thai language characters show up as rectangles while Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and Spanish show up correctly. Weird thing is that I also use a standard ComboBox component in my UI as language selector; and the word "ภาษาไทย" (Thai) showed up correctly in it. (So I am guessing that's because the ComboBox is using TextField instead of TLF).
I tried to set CharacterFormat.locale but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Thanks.

Why do not use "Tahoma" font as font fallback in FTE for Thai language for Windows XP?
"Tahoma" font comes with Windows XP English installation, while Angsana New font becomes available on English Windows XP only after enabling "East Asian" language support.
And text rendered with "Angsana New" looks pretty bad, compared to the text displayed by the help of "Arial" font.
Test application that display Thai characters:

After Gnome update cpufreq-applet needs privilages all the time.

Hi
I have upgraded Gnome to the latest 2.28 version with pacman. Problem is that I can't change cpufreq with cpufreq-applet without typing the root password. That's ok, but why I have to do it all the time I wan't to change the cpu policy. It is really annoying. Is there a possibility that gnome will save that password "forever" and won't ask me again for root pasword in the future ?

System -> Preferences -> Authorisations
It will be under hal - power-management - Configure CPU frequency scaling
It won't work, because cpu frequency applet does not use org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement interface anymore. Instead it uses /org/gnome/cpufreq_selector/selector object implementing org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector which in turn is tied with polkit-1 authorization framework instead of old PolicyKit.

Can't install extra languages to spell check

Hi,
In our office we have a English Windows 7. English spell check is working in IE10.
Now I want ie10 to check my spelling in Dutch.
I tried tools, manage add-ons, spell correction and there "Get more Spelling Dictionaries Online...".
That resulted in "additional dictionaries are not currently available. Please try again later.
What am I missing to get Dutch spell check working?
Kind regards,
Jeroen

This is for a language that isn't already in the Language selector of Pages.
Then changing your OS language would be of no use in any case. Would you be willing to tell us the name of the language in question?

How to edit the selectable languages for spell checking?

Hallo Mozzila Community
After using Firefox nightly 23 on Chakra Linux via bundle and I think it messed up my settings of the spell checker via Firefox sync.
The Problem pop up on openSUSE and Chakra Linux but not In Kubuntu 12.04(it has separate language packs).
I want to have German and English GB and maybe Bosnian or Croatian spell checker but I can not select it via right click -languages.
Now I have on both Chakra Linux and openSUSE 12.3 Firefox 20 by default maybe 30 languages installed but I can not select the language I want.
For example on Chakra Linux Firefox 20 I have only German variants selectable,German Luxenbourg,German Belgium ... and so and I can not select other language via add-on or about:config spellchecker.dictionary; it stay alwas on a German variant so I need to edit the right click language selector to bring it to work.
2.Example on openSUSE can not select German and En_GB but I can select a bunch of other languages I do not need in the right click languages selctor.
Both are Firefox 20 with openSUSE KDE modifications and have all available spell dictionary installed.
So how can I edit the list of selectable languages on the right click-languages?

There is a difference between language packs that affect the Firefox user interface and spell check dictionaries.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Language_packs
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
*Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can look here for dictionaries:

How to turn on session selector in GDM [SOLVED]

For some reason GDM is forcing en_US on all user accounts and I need one of them to be different. I googled and searched and most of the information is vague and confusing.
Does anyone know how to enable the session and language selectors in GDM?
Switching to SLIM is not an option because I need to be able to switch between accounts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Apparently editing ~/.dmrc solves the problem. I had done that before but had set the file with the wrong permissions. Must be 644 and owned by $USERNAME.

Select language in inner menu, expand to the caller menu

Hi! I'm stuck in this very simple application of internationalization, I just need the end user to select the language of a menu I show him. So I have a menu (the Menus class posted here) with some items (FILE, HELP,etc) when you click FILE, then CONFIGURATION it shows a selection panel (the Selector class posted here) where the user selects the language he wants to display this menu.
In the selection panel there's a label which changes when the user selects a language in the combo box and clicks the button. This works fine.
But now I need also the Menus class items to be changed when the end user clicks the button. So the inner class must change the outer class and I'm stuck there.
Do I have to declare in the Selector class all the Strings that appear in the Menus class to do that?
Do I have to set the text of all the items that appear in the Menus class in the if then elseif sentence of the Selector class?

There are two ways to get this: (1) Hold the back button until the menu appears (2) Right click the back button. See the screenshot below for reference.
