Japanese input - keyboard layout

i am fairly new mac user. i bought this imac in May and set it up, so that i can type in japanese.
it was working fine until last weekend. usually, i just use english keyboard layout to type in japanse (type "sushi" to get sushi in japanese), but now keyboard layout is off. when i type "sushi" in japanese mode it shows typed as "ogodc" when it should be "sushi". i am not sure what happened. the conversion itself works. when i type S on the keyboard, it acts as if i typed O (which is wrong), and it shows as O in japanese (which is correct).
when i go to international language setting, i can see the input type as "keyboard" for US, but "input method" for japanese.
i could not find anything in documents provided by apple.

Go to Kotoeri Preferences (toward bottom of the "flag" menu when you have Hiragana or whatever selected), first tab, third item down, and make sure it says US. If not, click on it to select US.

Non-english keyboard layouts work in some programs, not others

In some programs, I can set a non-English keyboard layout and have the appropriate behavior when it comes to diacritics - in, say, the brazilian layout, hitting { then a will give me a á, and so on. It works perfectly fine in Firefox and xchat, for instance. But in other programs, opera and openoffice to name two I've tried, this fails. I either get a garbage character when I hit the first diacritic key or I just get the diacritic by itself and then the accentless vowel: ´a.
Completely non-English characters still work fine; I can get ç in the Brazilian layout and ñ in Latin American and the Georgian one works fine too, since Georgian doesn't have diacritics I presume. It's just diacritics that don't work.
I first noticed this problem after I installed SCIM, so I assume it has something to do with the SCIM installation, but I don't know what I did in the process of installing it that would've messed things up.

[SOLVED] Awesome 3.5 using english keyboard layout instead of Xorg's

Keyboard layout was OK on 3.4.
For 3.5 and git version, Awesome defaults to english layout. Calling awesome.restart() (e.g. with SUPER+SHIFT+R) will correctly set the layout according to Xorg config. That's quite annoying indeed.
Only Awesome is affected, i.e. all other applications will use the Xorg config. So basically the affected parts are
* key bindings
* Run command
* Run lua code
Using
* up to date x86_64 system
* blank user session
* startx and 'exec awesome' as the sole command.
I couldn't find any related issue on the web, seems strange to me since I shouldn't be the only one using a non-english keyboard layout !
Any idea ?

Same here, but as with nomorewindows case, I just need to restart awesome, but I need to do it every time I boot. Both my console and X are configured to dvorak, but in X it's set through .xinitrc.
I'm going to try and see whether putting
echo "awesome.restart()" | awesome-client
into my .xinitrc will help.
By the way, my .xinitrc starts awesome in the following way:
awesome & wmpid=$!
[whole bunch of misery involving mpd, urxvt and setting the keymap in X]
[above for restarting awesome]
wait $wmpid

Changing English keyboard layout to German layout

I am thinking abut buying the new MacBook Pro 15" Retina in Malaysia, therefore with an English keyboard layout. Is there any affordable and less complex possibility to change the layout afterwards to german, besides decals etc., as I am German and will continue my university studies in Germany next year?

What about trying to order a MacBook with finnish keyboard layout at AppleStore

Any suggestions for how to get my logic keyboard working properly for FCE?

Any suggestions how to get my logic keyboard working properly for FCE? I can't use some of the shortcuts - insert, overwrite etc. maybe the system settings aren't correct?

This normally happens when debris builds between the trackball and the rollers on the inside of the mouse.
Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball vigorously on a sheet of paper or microfiber cloth to try and free it up.

How can I type "š" with english keyboard layout?

I was wondering if somewho can tell me, how I can type "š" with englis keyboard layout, because when I have restart iMac, layout was changed back to english (from Slovak) and now I cant start Mac OS X, cause in my login is "š"

Start with the Apple menu in the upper left of the Menu Bar and select System Preferences. On the System Preferences pane on the top row is the UN flag icon. For Tiger (OS-X 10.4) it was called "International". Click to take you to the Language Options:
The sub-menu called "Input Sources" (as you can see from the above screen shot) will take you to the panel that I referred to in the previous response. If you don't find your language listed then click on the "Edit List at the bottom left of the "Language" sub-menu. Once you make a change in either one of these places you will be given a notice to tell you that the change will be reflected the next time you restart your Mac or the next time that you log in to your account. If you are the only user and do not have another account on your Mac then the restart option will be your method. There is no need to do this procedure from the install DVD.

Some applications don't put accents with non-english keyboard layouts

I'm using a Portuguese keyboard with three different macs running Mac OS Tiger 10.4.8/9. Some applications (like Motion 2 and Swift Publishing 2) don't allow writing some accented characters, like (è) or (ê), that are accessed by Shift+normal key, but they do display correctly other accented letters, for instance (é), witch are accessed directly without the Shift key. This happens only in some applications and with a european keyboard layout (I tried it also with the spanish and french keyboards layouts), but not with other applications (it works all right with Word or iPhoto) and the english keyboards.
Any sugestion as how to solve this? If I create the text in some other application and paste it in Motion it works! But it's a drag.

Hey KDCruz,
Thanks for the question. Let's see if we can isolate the issue further, the following article has some great troubleshooting steps:

[LR2 - SOLUTION] Using Lightroom in englsih with a non-english keyboard layout

Hi, Many of us, non native english speaking LR users, are using LT in english on a system having a non-US keyboard layout. The conseqeunce of this is that we can't reach a lot of keyboard shortcuts because LR doesn't offer any interface for configuring them. However, there's a workaround. I'll explain here what I did for the french language but you can apply this to your own language. For the non english languages, the keyboard shortcuts are defined in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\Resources\<language>\TranslatedStrings.txt. If you are using LR in english, this file is not used and there's no similar file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\Resources\en. But you can create one containing only the shortcuts that you need. I have created a new TranslatedStrings.txt file containing only the keyboard shortcuts defined for the french version. I did this by copying only the lines containing the following sequences: ....Key=... ....KeyShifted=... ...AgPanel/LeftPanelShortcut... ...AgPanel/RightPanelShortcut... ...MenuShortcut/DecreaseRating= ...MenuShortcut/IncreaseRating= (french users can find this file here: http://www.mainsoft.fr/Files/LR/TranslatedStrings.txt . Copy this file to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2\Resources\en" and relaunch Lightroom. Now you have the same keyboard shortcuts as when using LR in french. Interestingly enough, if you hit ctrl + < , the LR keyboard shortcut panel is displayed and it shows your new shortcuts. Again, you can do the same for your own language by copying the specified strings from the relevant folder. Hope this helps. -- Patrick Philippot MainSoft Consulting Services www.mainsoft.fr

Yes… I would at a minimum contact Apple sales or AppleCare regarding this. You have two options though. You can ask for a new one, given they can't simply swap out a keybaord you need to exchange the whole thing.
Otherwise, you can use it as a bargaining chip and say ask for a free external International English keyboard and a discount on your next Apple Store purchase… for instance.
Regardless, be polite yet firm with them as you did not get what you ordered.

Hotkeys do not work when non-english keyboard layout is active

I live in Russia and use Russian keyboard layout pretty frequently. Also, I am a big fan of using hotkeys. But the problem is that in any Aperture version, hotkeys only work when english/U.S. layout is active. It's pretty annoying to switch back and forth.

You can tell Apple how you want this fixed at

Buy new MacBook in Paris (with English keyboard layout)

I want to buy new Macbook in Paris with US keyboard layout not French one. Since there are no official Mac Store in France how can I do that ?
Oh one more thing. I also want to laser Russian alphabet on buttons in Paris. Is it possible to do that ?

http://store.apple.com/fr - this is a reseller.
No, it's not, not if you mean an independently-owned company apart from Apple. It's the official Apple Store, owned by Apple. When you order from that Apple Store, you're ordering directly from Apple.
why don't they writу full number with France code - as far as I know it is 33. so it is 33 0800 046 046
Probably because they assume that anyone ordering from the French Apple Store is in France and so doesn't need the country code. Why you can't get through to that number from another country, as I presume you're attempting, I can't say.
Well the information I have from Russian reseller is that they order them from US or UK they do not laser buttons in Russia.
Again, what Apple can and will do for a distributor/dealer is different from what they can do for an individual purchaser. Apple computers sold in a given country are usually only sold with a keyboard applicable to that country. Getting a different keyboard is often just not possible as may well be the case for you.
A workaround might be to get a MacBook with a keyboard from another language and get a set of Russian keyboard overlay stickers. Another possibility would be to purchase an external USB keyboard with Russian keys. Neither option would be an elegant solution but it might be worth it if you can save as much as you say by buying in France. Again, though, note that Apple France will not ship a system to you in Russia (or any other country); you'd have to go to France to get it.

Hi
Looks like you use a wrong keyboard layout. I thin the language settings are wrong!!!
Maybe you have an US keyboard layout and the settings are set to UK?
Please check this in the control panel -> regional and language options -> languages -> details.
There you can add a second language or you can change the first one to another keyboard layout.

How to get a list of Layout Sets

Hi Experts,
How do I get a list of Layout sets in Portal ?
I am using a KM Navigation IView to show a list of External Links. I have used a copy of Links IView for this. The Layout set used here is "LinkListExplorer".
The problem with this layout set is it provides an option of Organize Entries to all End users. An end user might potentially delete a link or edit it due to this.
I want to get rid of Organize Entries feature in this IView, which I feel can be achieved only by changing Layout of the IVIew.
Please guide me to list of Layout sets or a way to maintain permissions for Links IView.
Thanks,
Yomesh.

System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management
then,
User Interface -> Settings -> Layout Set
You will see lots of layouts sets that you can use...

Screen locked with non-English keyboard layout selected

Hello,
I use two keyboard character sets for keyboard. The switch between them is Command-Space.
I also have password requirement for waking up or going from screen saver.
Now if screensaver starts with non-English layout selected, I'm not able to login:
password is not accepted because keyboard layout is not English and switching
to English layout does not work in unlocking window.
Is there any way to change layout while in the unlock window?
Thanks

Yes you are right, this is not a bug, it's just bad user interface. Just imagine the following scenario...
Writing a paper, switching to Greek to enter a couple of characters and leaving the mac idle for 5 mins.
The lock screen comes up asking for a password, unfortunately the user didn't change the language
before the mac was left idle and there is no option to change the language in the lock screen.
User has to hard reset to access the mac and let's hope that the user was saving his paper frequenlty.
So from a coding point of view this is not a bug, but from a user interface design it is a huge flaw

How to get input from keyboard scanner into an array

This is probably a very basic question but I'm very new to java..
My task is to reverse a string of five digits which have been entered using keyboard scanner.
E.g. - Entered number - 45896
Output - 69854
I used the StringBuffer(inputString).reverse() command for this, but i need a more basic method to do this.
I thought of defining an array of 5
int[] array = new int [5];
and then using,
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
to enter the numbers. But I can't figure out how to get the five input numbers into the array.
If I can do this I can print the array in reverse order to get my result.
Any other simple method is also welcome.

Hey thanks for the quick reply,
But how can I assign the whole five digit number into the array at once without asking to enter numbers separately?
E.g. - if entered number is 65789
Assign digits into positions,
anArray [0] = 6;
anArray [1] = 5;
anArray [2] = 7;
anArray [3] = 8;
anArray [4] = 9;
I'm really sorry but I am very new to the whole subject.
