How to add German Umlaut to iWeb?

Hi,
My default language on my site is English. But I want to add German Umlauts to a word. I copied and pasted it from a German site, but Google doesn't recognize the word.
So, is there a way to insert other language characters and still get word recognition by Google?
Thanks
Lars

Hi, my website is http://www.ethnicyum.com/
On the Welcome.html page I am using the word Schwarzwälder Kirsch Torte. The US Google only recognizes Schwarzw as a keyword, but not the entire word.
I used the Keyboard Viewer on the Mac to insert the ä. Is there another way to do it so that Google recognizes the word?

How to type German Umlauts on an hp desktop

How do I type German umlauts with an English hp desktop keyboard?

The best way to use all kinds of non-english symbols is to go to your keyboard settings and switch your keyboard settings to international. This way you don't have to use codes for everything.
ControlPanel -> Region and Language -> Keyboards and Languages (the tab) -> Change Keyboards -> Add
Pick out "United States - International "
Here is microsoft's guide to using international characters with this keyboard setting: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306560
You can also use the same path to switch entirely over to a german keyboard configuration, though this can be confusing if you don't have that completely memorized.

How to add sub pages in iWeb templates

Anybody knows how to add a sub pages in the templates? I want to add sub pages under the main header, e.g. "About Us."

Just to say that you can do it in the way that Steve has already said and I did this on one of my sites and it worked really well.
Lets take your example of About George. You create your page About George and you include this page in your navigation menu. Now lets suppose that you have more that you want to add about George with two other pages - George at Work and George at Play. You want to link to these pages from About George, but you don't want the page names visible. Well, you can do this by creating the pages and then going to Inspector. Click on pages and then check don't include in navigation menu. Then you can create links on the About George page to get to the other pages George at Work and George at Play - use shapes or text boxes to create these with something like Back and Next on those pages to take you forward to the next page and then back to the main page.
I think you will need to create your own nav bar to be able to achieve this, as it means linking to different pages, but it does work well.

[Solved] how to write german "umlaute" on US keyboard?

Hi,
I am German, but I use an US-keyboard since it I like it better for writing code. Is there a simple way to map key-combinations to "Umlaute". e.g. like o+windows-key for an "ö".
I'd be happy with a sollution for thunderbird but in case there is an universal trick go for it.
Thanks in advance,
Keen

yep your link helped.
Here the summary what's to do:
1) Get your custom xmodmap
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap
2) Use a key to toggle between modes (i used the windows key keycode:133)
change the line in your Xmodmap file to:
keycode 133 = Mode_switch NoSymbol Mode_switch
3) Change the Umlaut keys using this:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 09#p858309
4) make your changes work
modmap ~/.Xmodmap
5) check by typing windows-key+a, windows-key+shift+o, windows-key+s
you should get: äÖß
Note: Don't use this if you run XFCE it will affect your system performance on login. (dead key combinations, freeze)

You may have to learn HTML:/CSS/JavaScript and how iWeb creates its pages.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

How can I add new background on iweb?

Dear all,
somebody knows how can I add new backgroungs on iweb? and also how can I add my own themes?
Cheers

You can add new backgrounds in the "page"..."layout" section of the "inspector"...no limit to what you can add. Remember to use low resolution pics (72 dpi vs 300 dpi) and think of the size necessary for a "wallpaper" on your desktop. ex. http://www.desertmoon.net/Coryhamilton/Home.html done with a Jumsoft theme (baseball dark) as a core.
The file used as a background on that site is located at http://www.desertmoon.net/Coryhamilton/Home_files/grunge.jpg
It's dimensions are 1200px by 797px and 284k in file size. I guess there might be a reason to have the width set for 1200px even though file sizes could benefit from a smaller dimension repeating graphic, but running the file through Photoshop or even Elements would let the owner "Save For Web" as a .jpg - medium quality and get the file size down to about 108k so that the page would load quite a bit faster.

Add a favicon to iweb via the HTML snippet...how?

Is there a way to add a favicon to iweb via the HTML snippet?
My search on google has found many ways to do it by editing the published files, but this is more work than it is worth (since it needs to be done on every new publish).
Any ideas?
thanks
bob

bob:
There's been no way to add a favicon via HTML snippet that I've found. Using TextWrangler which can do multi-file find and replace doing it the old fashion way, post publication editing, is a little easier as described in Old Toad's Tutorial #22 - Adding a Favicon to Your Web Site.

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

How to add an audio file to a link

I am working on a project using IWeb and I am trying to figure out if it is possible and then, if it is how to add an audio file to a link. I would really be glad of your help as I am having problems meeting the requirements of the project if I don't make it work.
Also, is it possible when having added a movie clip from quick time player to have the clip start as soon as the page is "opening", that is without pressing the play button?
I am waiting in great suspense to see if anybody can help me out. If you have the answers to my questions, please send me an email at [email protected] - thank you so much :o)

Hi Maiken
Welcome to the discussion forums.
All you need is open iWeb, select text or image, open inspector, go to link, check the "enable as a hyperlink" box, in "link to" there's a teardown menu where you select "a file" and select the file you want to link to.
If you want to have it downloading look at [this|http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Downloads.html]
For the second question:
select the movie file in iWeb go to inspector, then to the last icon (showing the quicktime logo) and check the box that say "Autoplay".

Cédric

Numbers don't show german umlaut but quick view does

I do have a problem opening CSV files in Numbers.
I have a shared folder with VirtualBox. The virtual HD is formatted in FAT32. With Windows I created a CSV file which contains german umlauts like ÄÖÜ.
When I open the CSV with the "quick view" (press space when file is selected in finder, the CSV is displayed as a nice Table and all Umlauts are OK.
When I double click the CSV file to open it in Numbers, the Umlauts are not displayed. Opening in Text Edit is the same result, no Umlauts.
ö = ^
ß = fl
ü = ¸
ä = ‰
I think this is an encoding problem, but why is "quick view" displaying it correct. I'm confused.
Thanks for any help.

Hello
I cannot find any encoding settings for opening files in Numbers 09.
A simple and obvious solution would be to save CSV file in UTF-8 in FAT32 volume in VirtualBox if possible.
One other method is to copy the CSV file to HFS+ volume and set its extended attributes to specify its text encoding. This method is only changing the metadata of the file and so is less intrusive than to convert the data itself to different text encoding. When text encoding extended attribute is properly set, Numbers 09 (and TextEdit.app set to use "Automatic" encoding option in opening files) will open it in the specified text encoding.
The following AppleScript script might help to set the extended attributes (OSX 10.5 or later only). Recipe is as follows.
A1) Open /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor.app, copy the code of set_latin1_xattr.applescript listed below and save it as application (bundle) in the folder where target CSV files reside.
A2) Double click the saved applet and it will set the com.apple.TextEncoding extended attribute of the *.csv and *.txt files in the same folder where the applet resides to Latin 1 when they are recognised as 'ISO-8859 text' by file(1) command.
-- set_latin1_xattr.applescript
_main()
on _main()
    set p2m to (path to me)'s POSIX path
    if p2m ends with "/" then set p2m to p2m's text 1 thru -2
    set sh to "
# set current directory to parent directory of script (or die)
cd \"${0%/*}\" || exit 1
# add com.apple.TextEnncoding xattr for Latin-1
# for *.csv and *.txt files, of which file info contains 'ISO-8859 text', in current directory
for f in *.{csv,txt}
do
    if [[ $(file \"$f\") =~ 'ISO-8859 text' ]]
    then
        xattr -w com.apple.TextEncoding \"WINDOWS-1252;$((0x0500))\" \"$f\"
    fi
done
    do shell script "/bin/bash -c " & sh's quoted form & " " & p2m's quoted form
end _main
Another method is to convert the text encoding itself as you have already done using TextEdit.app.
The following AppleScript might help to convert text encoding from latin-1 to utf-8 in bulk. Recipe is basically the same as the above.
B1) Open /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor.app, copy the code of convert_latin1_to_utf8.applescript listed below and save it as application (bundle) in the folder where target CSV files reside.
B2) Double click the saved applet and it will convert the text encoding of the *.csv and *.txt files in the same folder where the applet resides to UTF-8 when they are recognised as 'ISO-8859 text' by file(1) command. Also it sets the extended attribute for text encoding accordingly.
-- convert_latin1_to_utf8.applescript
_main()
on _main()
    set p2m to (path to me)'s POSIX path
    if p2m ends with "/" then set p2m to p2m's text 1 thru -2
    set sh to "
# set current directory to parent directory of script (or die)
cd \"${0%/*}\" || exit 1
# make temporary directory
temp=$(mktemp -d /tmp/\"${0##*/}\".XXXXXX) || exit 1
# convert text encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8
# for *.csv and *.txt files, of which file info contains 'ISO-8859 text', in current directory
for f in *.{csv,txt}
do
    if [[ $(file \"$f\") =~ 'ISO-8859 text' ]]
    then
        iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 \"$f\" > \"$temp/$f\" \\
        && xattr -w com.apple.TextEncoding \"UTF-8;$((0x08000100))\" \"$temp/$f\" \\
        && mv -f \"$temp/$f\" \"$f\"
    fi
done
# clean up temporary directory
rm -rf \"$temp\"
    do shell script "/bin/bash -c " & sh's quoted form & " " & p2m's quoted form
end _main
Note that the extended attribute is not supported in FAT32 and so the above methods only work in HFS+ formatted volume.
Scripts are briefly tested with Numbers 2.0.5 under OSX 10.5.8 and 10.6.5. Please make sure you have backup CSV files before applying the above scripts.
Good luck,
H

German umlaut in idoc to file scenario

Hi,
in our scenario we send MATMAS idocs to XI, map them and create a file using file adapter.
Settings in file receiver communication channel: file type = text and file encoding = UTF8. I also tried file encoding = ISO-8859-1 - both with the same result:
German umlauts are not converted. E.g. the material short text "Hängematte" is shown as "Hängematte" in the created file. The receiving system errors out. Acceptable would be
"H& #228;ngematte". (of course without the blank but I have to add it herer else the forum would replace this by "ä" )Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Philipp

Hi,
Follow the steps:-
1>In your adapter -> Set File type to TEXT -> use Encoding and provide ISO-8859-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1)
To know more about other encoding standards refer -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding
2>file type==>binary
