How can I get a German language Lexicon?

I recently purchased a Macbook Air for use while traveling abroad. Now that I'm in Germany, I'd like to write in German. I purchased Pages to do word processing, and I see that it references the New Oxford American Dictionary when Spell Checking. The program seems to do a fairly decent job of Spell Checking German Language words, now that I figured out how to specify which language I wish to use, BUT right clicking orusing Control Command D on a German language word to look up a Thesaurus entry, or Dictionary entry returns only "No Result Found".
Ideally I would like the same tools available to me that I have in my PC desktop - namely Microsoft Office with the Language Pack upgrade.
Please, don't recommend buying Microsoft Office. I don't plan to give up my PC - too many dollars invested in too many applications. I intend to use the Macbook Air only for travel and a couple of singular apps that I can only find in the Mac world.
I want to spell check, grammar check, lookup words in a German language dictionary, and be able to do all this within Pages, or while writing or responding to e-mail.
By the way, I purchased Ultralingua's German/English Dictionary, but Apple in its infinite wisdom has disallowed the ability to do lookups via function key, which work beautifully on the pc based notebook I had previous to the Airbook. It's simply not convenient for me to constantly hop between apps to do the lookup work on the Air.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

If Mac:Office's Outlook component would let me simply copy my outlook.pst file from the PC into the Mac, allowing me to use Outlook while travelling with the Air, and then let me copy the outlook.pst file back to the PC, so I could pick up where I left off on the PC when I returned home, THEN I might consider doubling up the software
To find out whether MS Office for Mac does what you want, it is probably best to search/ask in the forums MS runs. It's really up to MS to ensure compatibility of its products between the platforms.

If you do want to suggest improvements in Pages, Apple has a special channel for that at

Hmm. On my laptop the first bit gets me the list of languages as they appear in the listing in the International preferences pane:

So I piped that to awk to pull out just the first one (they're ordered just like they are in the prefs pane, with the current language first). But that gives me some extra text:

So I piped that to sed to remove the comma and parenthesis. That gives me the current code, which in my case was "en" (or "de" if I switched the language).
defaults read -g AppleLocale

Well, sure, if you want to do it the easy way. But where's the fun in that? Seriously though, I get en_US, which is a more accurate and complete view of my settings...

If you must. You can open a new iTunes Store account in the country you are from. In iTunes scroll down and change the country flag icon to your country and registry. If you don't have a credit card from your home country you can use gift cards instead.

Hi Enrico,
The language settings are held on the user's Windows profile and not in the database. In SBO 2007A onwards there is an XML file that is created by the SBO client (previous versions stored the information in the registry). The file is called b1-current-user.xml and you'll find it in the temporary application data under the user's profile (by default this will be C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Local Settings\Application Data\SAP\SAP Business One for Windows XP). This XML file contains a node that looks like the following:
<leaf kind="single" name="Language" type="String">
     <value>8</value>
</leaf>
where the value is the language id that should correspond to the same setting in the DI API. If your application will always run on a workstation where the SBO client is installed then you could read this XML file. Of course, this file may not exist for a particular Windows user if they have never opened the SBO client so you'd need to have a default setting.
If you application will be installed on a workstation which doesn't have an SBO client installed on it then there is no way to tell what default language to use and you'll need to build this logic in to your own application (eg have a screen where the user can choose their preferred langauge and then store this as a config file in a similar way to how the SBO client works).
Kind Regards,
Owen

You need to get it installed at a Nokia care center. Note that the language pack installed seperately gets erased after a firmware update, you need to visit Nokia care center for getting it installed again.

How can I change a German CS5.5 Design Standard into English?

How can I change a German CS5.5 Design Standard into English?

Thanks for the answer.
No my version installs straight into German.
There are files in many languages to be found in the contents folders.
I managed to rename one that was recommended in a post on google in Photoshop
inside the german language files and most of the program
magically reverted back to its mother tongue, english.
There was a similar way to delete or rename a file in the
german files in Illustrator.
However, if you go deeper in the settings of both programs,
there are still some german words appearing.
Finally I managed to get a hold of a little program
on a page called 'Indesign secrets' that changed
the language back to english on Indesign.
But also with that one the change is not 100%.
Lastly there are the other little programs like Bridge
that completely stay German.
I just can't believe that I have bought a program last 2 years ago
that I can't use in it's first language.
English is in all the programs.
Adobe should just let the user decide, when they move countries
or simply want to use the same jargon and menu names.
Most of the tutorials or books are in English and always
using other names for the same buttons and settings just
seems odd, when you lived in a country for a while.
As far as I know, the new creative cloud version is
able to be switched.
If you have any comprehensive method to coerce all those
english files back from the hidden out into the open,
I would really appreciate it.

How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
Problem:
My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera.
I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software.
Even after removing all the old software, same result:
I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.
Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.
Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution?
I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software. I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome.
I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software.
I test my camera before going online. It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.
When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
solution.
His reply is below :-
The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
blank screen. Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
adjusting the frame rate.
I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
to adjust the frame rate (?).
He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
something does the trick.
If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
please jot on a note on this thread.

How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers? Until very recently
it did so. Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way. I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem. What setting has changed?

The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format. When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.
