ITunes U displaying in another language (German)

We have a couple of users in which the content that comes from Apple in iTunesU is being displayed in German, not English. It is only happening on specific computers. It is computer specific, not user specific. The content they create (specific to our site - Fairfield University), is in English, but default text that is populated by Apple (the links in a course, when modified data), is in German. Reinstalling iTunes does not fix the issue. Works fine on other computers. The computers have Windows XP SP2, iTunes 8.0.2. The language settings in iTunes is set to English and the computers language preferences in the control panel is set to English. Very weird. Any suggestions?

I have one student who is experiencing the same problem. Some of the content on his iTunes U page is in German some is in English. It's like the two languages are fighting.

  • Itunes has swapped to another language

    Hi there, I recently turned my computer off and back on, but my Itunes for some reason changed languages. All my header bars are now in French. Everything else inside Itunes is in english and my region also states English, it is just the top header bars? Can anybody suggest how to correct this please?

    CTRL+, (Comma) brings up preferences
    General is the tab on the left
    Language is the last drop down control
    English (UK) & English (US) are 9th and 10th on the list
    Close iTunes & reopen to effect the change
    If that hasn't helped repair or reinstall iTunes.

  • Using another language (German)...

    How do I get the umlauts to appear over a, u & o in German?
    I live in Germany and want to type email to friends in German in Mail. I selected the German flag in the bar up top, but still cannot figure out how to get the umlauts to appear (the little dots above some German vowells).
    Can anyone help?

    If you are using the German layout, then you can use Keyboard Viewer (activated in system prefs/international/input menu like a keyboard) to see which key does what.
    ü is to the right of p
    ö is to the right of l
    ä is to the right of ö

  • Very random, but why is the preview for Dreamgirls in the US iTunes store dubbed in another language (sounds like Russian??) It seems to be affecting only this particular movie... did a search of others and they're fine.

    Is it a hack or random bug or...?

  • My song lists in iTunes are in another language, how can I change it?

    after I add file to itunes library, some songs are display in another language, some are fine, how can I change it?

    It sounds like the ID3 tags were messed up during the import, either you can remove them and re-add them, rename them to their correct tags, if they were imported from a CD you can get track names, or you can use 3rd party software like Tune-Up Utiitlies ($40) to scan your music and automatically fix the tags. (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tuneup/id468707058?mt=12)
    If you don't feel like doing this a suggestion but I don't know if it will work is to restart iTunes.

  • I tried to update iTunes yesterday.  The update failed.  Now when I try to open iTunes it says that the version isn't localized and needs to be run in English.  It has never been in another language.

    I attempted to update iTunes yesterday.  The update failed.  iTunes now won't open and displays an error message that the program isn't localized and needs to be run in the English version.  I'm in the US and the computer and program has never been used in another language.  I tried reinstalling the full download for the new version and that failed as well.  I logged out; shut down; restarted; retried the update; etc.  Still no luck and the same message.  Thoughts?

    i have restore my ipone, but after that when i restart it and after selecting language and country. when i conntect to itunes, it display this message. We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this timre

    Hello mzpartia,
    I found an article from Apple that specifically outlines how to try and troubleshoot this issue. It's called iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424.
    Resolution
    Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Applefor assistance.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Since recently, Firefox is displayed in English, and cannot be switched to another language

    I used to use Firefox in a non-English language (apologies but I am not much of a linguist). Since a couple of weeks ago Firefox always displays in English, though under "Tools" / "Languages" the item "German" appears as selected. Switching to English explicitly and switching back to German does not help.
    I am using Ubuntu 10.04, and my system language is Esperanto. Firefox used to display in that language. If it is no longer available I would prefer German.

    In the past two weeks I did a bit of research but not to much avail. I noticed I had the "Locale Switcher" add on installed, and deactivated it. Switching languages in the "Languages" tab of "Add-ons" still did not work (yes, I restarted every time). I installed the "'''Quick Locale Switcher''' 1.7.4" extension (yes, I restarted), and it displays a number of locales in the "Tools" menu; still choosing one has no effect (yes, I restarted).
    Then I juggled with Quick Locale Switchers "options", which actually displayed in Esperanto (so I cannot tell you what they say in English). I check the first one (saying more or less that locale switching should affect the user interface) and switched to German (yes, I restarted) -- and '''it worked'''! I switched to Esperanto -- and Firefox went to ... English!
    After a lot of searching in the Web I found on "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/esperanto-language-pack/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/esperanto-language-pack/]" that this pack is "'''Not available for Firefox 3.6.16'''". That might explain something (not everything); probably I lost my language when I upgraded from 3.5 to 3.6.
    Here a little error message could save people hours of their lives...

  • I want to buy a MBP with  retina display, can I get the keyboard in another language than the ones listed?

    I would like to buy my new mac in the states, but want the keyboard to be in another language than the ones listed (english, french, spanish and japanese). Is this possible if I contact them?
    Btw, I know that you can change the language in settings, but I want the physical other keyboard, not to just change it on the mac!

    I think they can from a physical retail store, but you should ask them directly.  Normally the kinds of keyboards available via special order should be those shown at the site below, but I have heard that some probably are only available outside the US.

  • How to write the GUI in another language

    Hi all
    how can i write the GUI value in another language
    i.e the JTextField, JComboBox and other in another language for example arabic
    becuase when i write it it gave me strange charecters???
    how can i support this in java???

    Dont think you have anyway to tell the target language for a single text retrieval. You can obviously set the locale of the user but that will change language of other texts also. If you always want to show some predefined text in English then better you dont keep the those texts at all in the translated files. Or you keep the English text in all the files - so that everytime English only gets displayed. But if your case is a selective one - i.e. you want to show English text to only German users but spanish to Spanish and French to French then I dont have any answer how to achieve the same.

  • Smartform output showing another language rather than english

    Hi Experts,
    in my system if any of the smartform/script output want to see it showing another language.it's not showing in english language.same smartform in my friend's system it is showing english only.
    Please suggest me the solution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Venkat.

    Hi
    See the attached 2 OSS notes for your problem
    OSSNote:960341
    Symptom
    In some device types (e.g HPLJ4, HPLJ5) you experience non-uniform character spacing in the PDF document after the PDF conversion of SAPscript or Smart Forms documents, using HELVE or TIMES fonts. You want to know the reason.
    Other terms
    CONVERT_OTF, SAPscript, Smart Forms
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The problem is not due to an error in the PDF converter but due to the fact, that the printer font, underlying the device type (e.g. Univers or CG Times in PCL-5 device types), is not available for the PDF converter and is either not available in Adobe Reader. The PDF converter has to try to simulate the layout of the printer font by means of a font which is predefined in Adobe Reader. This is done by assigning the letter widths of the printer font to the font used in Adobe Reader.
    The PDF file contains a table with letter widths, used by Adobe Reader in the output of text, for each used printer font (except PostScript fonts).
    Example:
    %Charwidth values from HP4300 HELVE 060 normal
    /Widths
    [ 278 333 500 633 633 1000 758 333 333 333 633...
    Adobe reader converts this width table, by modifying the space between each character, so that the specified letter width (= space between the current and the next letter) is kept.
    This 'Simulation' of printer fonts results in the sometimes visible irregular spaces in PDF.
    The PDF converter always uses the Helvetica Adobe PostScript font for the display of HELVE and the Times Roman Adobe PostScript font for the display of TIMES. However, for these Adobe PostScript fonts, Adobe Reader often uses a Windows TrueType font, which differs slightly from the original PostScript font.
    Solution
    Workaround: Use the POST2 PostScript device type or the PDF1 PDF device type for the PDF conversion of documents in the Latin-1 character set. They both use the Adobe PostScript fonts Helvetica or Times Roman for the HELVE/TIMES printer fonts.

    Secondary Components: BC-SRV-SCR SAPscript
    OSS Note: 776507
    Symptom
    Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
    Other terms
    SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
    Solution
    When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
    1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
    Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
    2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
    Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
    3) The output character set of the device type
    Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
    A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
    Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
    As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
    4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
    When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
    To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
    If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
    Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
    The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
    A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
    Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.

    Verify your output by examining the OTF data
    When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
    The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
    Goto->Display Requests->Settings
    and choose
    Display Mode: Raw
    Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
    Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
    //XHPLJ8000 0700 00000000001
    IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
    IN05%PAGE1
    OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
    IN06%WINDOW2
    MT0024401289
    CP11000000E

    SW00067
    CT00000000
    ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
    The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
    //XHPLJ8000 0700 00000000001
    The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
    IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
    In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
    The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
    OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
    The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
    CP11000000E
    Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.
