Having difficulty switching between English and Chinese

Hi!
I have a requirement to change the front panel strings (captions) from English to Chinese, at the click of a button.
The PC specs are: Windows 2000, MSBC enabled with an IME. LabVIEW 7.1 (Will eventually be using LabVIEW 8.20 - does this make it any easier?)
I have done a little research on the NI web page, and have tried the following knowledge base article:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/2d17d611efb58b22862567a9006ffe76/6d94f90fc9b93aad862568a7007...
What I need to know is what this article means by "translating the text". This is what I've tried thus far:
Export strings to a file.
Edit strings in an editor that supports Chinese.
Save file as text (should I save it as xml instead?)
Import Strings back into LabVIEW
All that gets displayed is "???", instead of Chinese characters.
Any suggestions?

"... change the front panel strings (captions) from English to Chinese, at the click of a button."
without scripting, no can do using the article you cited.
The solution is trivial but the implementation is not.
You will either have to update all of the captions or hide the captions and place string indicators where the captions would have been.

How to make my application programmatically switch between English and Russian

Greetings from Colorado...
My application needs to be switchable between English and Russian. Future languages to add are Spanish and Chinese. The user selects a language
from a control before starting the program and then the program changes the Captions, Boolean Texts, Graph Labels, and Enum Type Strings to the
chosen language. For Russian, this requires a different set of characters. I have made substantial progress by:
Control Panels>Region and Language>Keyboards and Languages>Change Keyboards added Russian>Keyboard>Russian on my development
computer.
In the LabVIEW.ini file, I added UseUnicode=TRUE (thanks to a suggestion found in this forum)
Made property nodes for controls and used properties such as Interpret As Unicode (True for Russian, False for English), Text, Font Name, Font Size, etc.
I have used fonts Arial and Arial CYR for Russian and MS Sans Serif for English
Set the keyboard for Russian and enter Cyrillic characters into text constants that are set for Arial or Arial CYR font. Sometimes one works and
sometimes the other works. As long as I set the font name in the property node the same way the text went into the text constant, it generally
works. I wish I could understand why one works sometimes and the other works other times!
I have had trouble with the Boolean Text going off-center when changing fonts and languages and it seems that by setting the Lock Text In Center
property to False and then True again, it seems to work. Often changing Boolean texts between short and long texts causes some of the long text
to be non-displayed; I have remedied this by explicitly setting the width of the Boolean text in a property node.
Often, the Russian text appears as gibberish with strange right-angle characters, :s, =s, and tiny numbers. I have been able to remedy this on my
development computer by ensuring that the text constant on the block diagram has the same size as the caption is supposed to have. This
is not necessary for normal programming in English, but it seems to help here. But it doesn't always solve the problem.
Sometimes the English text appears as Chinese gibberish in an Enum Type selection list or in a graph label. On my development computer,
it seems that making the text the last property to change helps here.
By changing the sequences of assignments to a single property node with a long list of properties, I have been able to make some of these
controls to switch between languages without gibberish showing up.
A few hours ago, I had the Russian strings in the Enum Type control working, except that when selecting from the available items, only the first
word of the Russian string was displayed. Two of the items start with the same word, so the user can't distinguish them.
At that time the English strings were appearing as Chinese gibberish while the list during the selection process displayed in English. As soon
as I changed the selection, future attempts to change the selection gave Chinese gibberish during the selection process, too. But this was only
a problem in the executable version; the source-code version worked fine.
In an attempt to get rid of the Chinese gibberish, I made new constants and retyped the items into them. This worked! But then, the Russian
stopped working and gave gibberish angles and tiny numbers, even though I didn't touch any of the code that sets the properties in Russian mode.
After trying a few sequences of setting the properties for the graph X label on page 2 of my tab control, this label started working correctly for both
languages. But the text of that label comes through on page 1 of the tab control, partly obscured by other controls on that page. After the
program runs a few more seconds, these shadows disappear.
Most times I restart LabVIEW, I get an error message saying there was a crash due to fontmgr.cpp, line 7494. But there actually wasn't a crash.
My computer has Windows 7 64-bit. Deployment Computer has Windows 7 32-bit. LabVIEW version is 8.5.
I have probably 50 or 100 more controls and indicators to change to language programmability and figuring out all this stuff for each one is
terribly time-consuming and there is no assurance that all of them will ever work.
At this point, I'm hoping that I am on an entirely wrong path and someone will send me a clue to get me on a path that is more predictable.
Thanks in advance to all who post ideas!
Cheers

Hi All,
I've made a lot of progress on this translation, but it's been really hard. There are lots of weird things going on that must be logical because they're in a computer, but I can't figure out what the logic is. When changing a font on a caption using the front panel, it sometimes changes the font on the caption and sometimes doesn't although the indicator always indicates the new font. Removing the first character of the unicode font string being sent to the caption seems to help...huh? Anyway, tabs still can't change language programmatically, and niether can ring controls (some kinds will take the new list of strings, but when selecting, they only display the first word of the string!). Boolean text can be reprogrammed, but only if the boolean text is set to be the same for both true and false states. When reprogramming captions on a non-displayed page of a multi-page tab-controlled user interface, the new text appears on the current page until I change pages back and forth. What a pain!
Sooo, NI....does LabVIEW 2011 have support for unicode fonts? Or, is there anything else in the new control style that will support programmatic language changing?

How to switch between primary and secondary langua...

Hi guys,
I've got an e52 but the only way to type in sec. Language while writing a message is:
Option-> Input Options-> writing language-> primary writing language (which must be changed to new one)
so there is no use of second. lang. or at least I don't know how to switch quickly between primary and second language without going that path.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATE.
Aram

HI Everyone,
not sure if this helps. My solution is more fo Singpore users.
As i text between English and Chinese, I was unable to set my Secondary language to Chinese as there is no option to do so in the Writing language menu.
By discovery, i first set my Primay language as Chinese. Then further down the Language menu there is this option Default input. Click on that and select the default using Text case and select Ok.
When writing sms, you can switch between this 2 languages using the # key.
Hope it helps.
Have a pleasant day.

Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

Hi All
Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
Cheers

Entering and Displaying English and chinese

We are running Oracle 8i on a w2k server and have w2k clients
configured to enter and view English, Simplified and Traditonal
Chinese. Oracle is setup with UTF8. We atn to be able to enter
and display both english and chinese characters simultaneous in
the forms as we enter data as well as in reports. Everything is
done in Oracle forms/reports 6. I have tried various nls
settings but nothing seems to work to provide both entry and
viewing of the characters as well as providing properly
formatted reports.
Jim Liddil

I also have a customer that is having a similar problem. The
general issue is that the customer wants to use Win2000 in
English but within a Forms 6.0 application fill in certain fields
with Simplified Chinese characters. I think they had difficulty
getting it to work even if the default is all Chinese, that is
both the Windows locale default and the NLS settings. We're
mostly beyond that but the real goal is to allow the user to run
in English (but with language supplement support available for
Chinese) then when the user hits the appropriate fields in the
application he toggles to a Chinese characters to input. So we
can't seem to find the right combination of NLS settings,
patches, etc. that would support this.
At one point we apparently were able to have the application
accepting the Chinese characters but to do so meant that many of
the Oracle Forms default menu items, dialogue buttons and
message bar were displayed in Chinese.
The simplest explanation: allow to run Forms 6 app in English.
Allow storing of Chinese characters into fields at the will
of the user. Database stores characters correctly. Application
(Forms) echoes characters correctly , not ???? or boxes .
We need to have a definite answer to the customer within 2 weeks
meaning we either have a fix now for their current ISO 9000
certified application based on Forms 6.0 or we know through
testing that it absolutely will work when we rev. the application
to Forms 6i. The latter revision of their application is not due
to ship until mid-2002.
Any suggestions or referrals are appreciated.

Can't switch between fill and outline.

Here's the problem: I'm on an iMac, new, trying to use illustrator CS5. after using CS3 for a few years. In CS5, if I draw a shape, flat, in the illustration, then try to give it an outline, or change the outline, or do anything with the outline, I can't. If I click on the Shape tools in the toolbox and draw out an oval, for example, I can switch between outline and fill without any problems. Select shape, go to toolbox, select curved arrow for switching from one to the other. That's it. But if I draw a freehand shape, then try it, i can't do it. THIS IS A BIG CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE APP. GET IT? What is the problem? If it's something I have done, fine, tell me and I'll fix it. I tried calling Adobe support in Bangalore, and it took 30 minutes just to get the problem thoroughly appreciated by the techies. They just couldn't get the idea for half an hour! I had to go over it 4 or 5 times. And they couldn't come up with an answer. they were no help at all. I'm hoping the forum will yield better results. This is pathetic, guys. Your 90-day tech support is a worthless piece of crap, guys. The only tech support we have is this catch-as-catch-can forum. I've been using Illustrator since 1987, (illustrator 88) believe it or not, it's true. And I've always been able to get tech support to cure the ills. Not any more. Is that the way Adobe plans to offer tech support? if there were a way to contact Adobe Tech Support by going around Adobe Bangalore, i would use it. But, alas, I am stuck with this.

Dear Monika and Mylenium: I figured out part of the problem, but not the solution: The shape I had drawn -and coudn't switch between fil and stroke on-is one I had already done a gradient mesh on, too. I had later abandoned the gradient mesh by using the option key to delete mesh lines, but that didn't take the shape all the way back to its original flat state. So it wasn't a plain drawn shape any more. So how do I release the gradient mesh to get back to a flat shape? I'm also having trouble keeping the shapes in RGB or CMYK mode-they keep defaulting back to greyscale. Could that also be a symptom of using gradient mesh? Note: I'm using gradient mesh for the very first time now; I've never used it before. It seems to leave a lot of unexpected baggage behind. I would send a screen shot, but if I start up Grab or Voila, all the AI pallets go away, and that's half the information. So how do I control gradient mesh?

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

Do I need to reset the router when switching between Win and Mac?

I just set up my new Mac Pro with OSX 1.5.2 and Win XP using Bootcamp and it all works fine, but I have one question about connecting to the internet.
I have a Belkin pre-N wireless router. I am connected using an ethernet cable.
When I switch between OSX and Windows by restarting the computer, is it necessary to restart the router while the computer is off so that when it comes back on it can locate its proper connection?
When I was working on my old PC and my new Mac Pro, I noticed that if I just took the ethernet cable from the Mac or PC and connected it to the other machine, it couldn't find the internet unless I turned off the router, waited a moment and turned it back on again, connected to the other machine and then started the machine.
As the two OSs are now in the same machine, will this continue to happen or can I simply switch between operating systems without having to re-initialize the router and connect it before turning on the computer again?
I haven't tried it yet because I am afraid to screw things up, so I am continuing to turn off, restart the router, re-connect and turn the computer on again. That work perfectly but it is tedious.
Can anyone please advise on whether this is necessary or not?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Luis:
You should be able to leave the router on and switch between the two OSes. Try it. Worst thing that can happen is that you would need to restart the router.

ADSL keeps switching between 'fast' and 'interleav...

Hello
I wonder if you could tell me if there is some reason why my line profile / ADSL latency keeps being switched between 'fast' and 'interleaved'. Everytime it is switched from interleaved to 'fast' I lose download speed. It has just changed again today and as a result my download speed has (according to my BT Home Hub Manager) dropped from 6.3MB (yesterday) to 3.2MB (now). Is it possible to have the line profile left as 'interleaved' so that I can enjoy the extra download speed ?
Thanks for your help.

Can't switch between HDMI and VGA displays

I have a new H430, with hdmi and vga ports. My HP zr2240w monitor permits switching between AVG and HDMI displays, which I would like to do. But when I plug in both cables (HDMI and VGA) only VGA will work. If I switch to HDMI or make it the default display, the screen freezes at the desktop background: no mouse, no taskbar etc. Is is possible that the D430 video card will not support switching between displays (on a single monitor)
thanks,

7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
Bob

Jochen,
Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

When frequently switching between mobile and desktop view

When I frequently switching between mobile and desktop view I have to open the layers every time since they get closed/collapsed. Adobe may need to fix it for the next version.

You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.
By the way, this is the Dreamweaver Application Development forum which deals with questions about using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ColdFusion. General Dreamweaver questions should be posted in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum.
And while I´m at it: please use descriptive headlines such as "how to switch between Code and Design View" for your posts -- mentioning your screen name "Goula129" is not helpful to other users.

How to make English and Chinese pdf files searchable?

I have scanned many A4 English and Chinese print-outs into pdf format. How to make these files searchable ? People mention about the OCR issue. Will the installation of Adobe make life easy and manageable?

I know Acrobat does Japanese OCR very well; I can only assume that it works for Chinese as well.
P.S. I just checked: Chinese (Simplified) and Chinese (Traditional) are both language selection options for OCR.

How to quickly switch between straight and curly quotes?

I've recently moved from a Windows XP machine with MS Office to a Mac Pro with Pages.
For the kinds of documents I typically work on, sometimes I need to have straight quotes, and sometimes curly quotes. With MS Word, I was able to create a couple of macros that would switch these preferences for me. With these macros linked to an icon in the toolbar, switching between straight and curly quotes was as easy as clicking a button.
Now I'm looking for a way to do this -- or something like it -- with Pages.
I know how to switch back and forth using the preferences menu, of course, but I'm looking for something quicker and simpler, since I often have to make this change several times a day.
Can Automator do something like this? Or is there another way?
-- Eric

Turn off the auto correction and you can type Curly quotes with:
left single ‘ option ]
right single ’ option shift ]
left double “ option [
right double ” option shift [
If you want the French quotes « and » they are option and option shift |

JSF / Switch between HTTP and HTTPS

Hello!
I want to switch between HTTP and HTTPS using JSF.
Under Apache Struts framework I can use struts extension "sslext.jar" to configure switching between http and https in one web application.
e.g. Login-jsp should be secured, all other jsp's should run unsecured.
Any ideas?
regards
Harald.

Thanks,
I made the necessary enhancement for the second phase, password confirmation required when return to SSL zone after leaving it after a succesful login.
I did the following:
1) create a class in the application scope and/or singleton class with the servlet paths that require SSL
2) create a plugin that reads ActionConfigs from the ModuleConfig
3) create a filter that sets a request scope flag that says that password must re-entered.
Code Extracts:
1) MainshopContainer application level parameter singleton class:
private static HashMap sslZoneMap = new HashMap(50); // key = servlet path of request, example /login.do
public boolean isInSSLZone(String servletPath)
return this.sslZoneMap.containsKey(servletPath);
public void addToSSLZone(String servletPath)
this.sslZoneMap.put(servletPath,null);
public int getNumberOfActionsInSSLZone()
return this.sslZoneMap.size();
2) Struts plugin
add a call to loadSSLZoneMap in plugin init method:
loadSSLZoneMap(config, mainshopContainer);
private void loadSSLZoneMap(ModuleConfig config, MainshopContainer mainshopContainer)
throws ServletException
try {
ActionConfig[] actionConfigs = config.findActionConfigs();
for (int i = 0; i < actionConfigs.length; i++)
if (actionConfigs.getParameter().indexOf("/jsp/account/") < 0) // /account/* = URL path for SSL zone
// not found = not ssl zone
System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, following actionConfigs excluded from SSL Zone: "+actionConfigs[i].getPath());
else
// found = ssl zone
String servletPath = actionConfigs[i].getPath()+".do";
mainshopContainer.addToSSLZone(servletPath);
System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, following servletPath added to SSL Zone: "+servletPath);
System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, number of actions in SSL Zone: "+mainshopContainer.getNumberOfActionsInSSLZone());
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
throw new ServletException("Exception caught in loadSSLZoneMap: "+ex.toString()+" Initialization aborted.",ex);
3)
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
String servletPath = req.getServletPath();
boolean secure= this.mainshopContainer.isInSSLZone(servletPath);
The wole picture:
The filter adds a RequestDTO object that includes all request parameters, one of them is the secure flag.
I have a session scope class UserContainer that includes all the session parameters, one of them is the lastRequestDTO.(last made request)
At the end of all my jsp's I set the lastRequestDTO variable.
In that method I set the passwordConfirmationRequired flag if needed:
public void setLastRequestDTO(RequestDTO _lastRequestDTO)
if (this.lastRequestDTO != null && this.lastRequestDTO.isSecure() != _lastRequestDTO.isSecure())
this.setPasswordConfirmationRequired(true);
this.lastRequestDTO = _lastRequestDTO;
I read the passwordConfirmationRequired in all my jsp's in the SSL zone that allow editing or deleting and if that flag is true, a valid password must be re-entered in order to make the updates.
When the password is OK I reset the passwordConfirmationRequired to false.
I need some help for the first phase, that is SSL setup for all actions related to jsp's with url path /account/*
I tought I could define it in the web.xml:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>All Account Related Pages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/account/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
but that doesn't work and finnaly understood why:
Example: /WEB-INF/jsp/account/login.jsp corresponds to /login.do
The url pattern /account/* at the container level is never encountered.
Is it allowed to declare the following action path: /account/login instead of /login?
If yes I could add following prefix /account to all my action paths and forward paths and this could resolve my problem.
What's your opinion?
If no, would your library resolve this?
Will all the Struts/JSP/JSTL url generating tags pick-up the required protocol (http/https) according to your configuration file?
Regards
Fred
