Japnese language support in oracle

Can anyone guide about how i can store japnese language in the Db and retrieve it and also how can i store english language in the Db and retrieve Japnese for the corresponding word etc.
i would be very grateful.

There are two possible questions here.
The first is-- can an English (ASCII) word be represented in a Japanese character set in the database. For example, the word "Oracle" would internally be represented with the bytes 79, 114, 97, 99, 108, 101 in the ASCII character set. Oracle can certainly convert the ASCII representation of a word to the Shift-JIS character set.
The second possible question is-- can Oracle automatically translate an English word into a synonymous Japanese word. Oracle cannot automatically translate words into other languages. Generally, you still have to hire people to translate data into other languages. If you have a very large volume of translated data, there are some products that can attempt an automatic translation, but that is still far from 100%.

Languages Supported in Oracle Forms

Hi,
Can anyone tell me which languages are supported in Oracle forms ,or with UTF8 characterset i can make forms6i to work for all languages.
Please correct me ...
Regards,
Sandeep

I don't think this feature is feasible for forms.
Quoting the documentation from
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/manproc002.htm
Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP) provides a connection pool in the database server for typical Web application usage scenarios where the application acquires a database connection, works on it for a relatively short duration, and then releases it.
Forms keeps a permanent connection to the database, so a connection pool isn't gonna help you in any way.

Regarding Multi Language Support in Oracle Custom Table

Hi All,
I have a requirement that i have to create Custom table to catch the data.
The custom table should support multi language.
Ex. PER_OBJECTIVES (seeded table) Suppose i select the language as Arabic then table should able to insert Arabic data. If English is selected English data should insert.
How i need to design the data base table(similar to PER_OBJECTIVES). What are the mandatory column to support multi language.
Thanks,
UMA.

Uma,
You will need at least two custom tables. The typical way that Oracle supports MLS/NLS is to have two tables - the first to hold an id or code of the object and the second (table name is typically suffixed with TL) which holds the descriptive translations of the object in the needed languages. A good example to follow would be to look at FNDRESPONSIBILITY and FND_RESPONSIBILITY_TL tables. The first table stores the responsibility short_name or code and the second table stores the actual description of the responsibility in the various languages that are enabled in your instance. The tables are joined using the responsibility id or code. At run time, the appropriate description of the object is retrieved from the TL table based on the users session language. If an entry is not found, then the US translation is substituted. ML Doc 333785.1 describes how all of this is achieved.
Since your tables are custom tables, you will have to provide your own translations for your objects.

Multi Language support in Oracle forms

I have a form with 2 text fields
1 text field text can be entered in english
another text field text will depend on the region the user has logged in from.
lets say user has logged in from Japan, in 2nd text field he has to enter text in Japanese , if he is from Russia in Russian , so on.
Can i implement something like this ?

Multi Language Support in Oracle 10g

Hi
My problem is as detailed below :
Server : Windows 2003 based IIS Web Server( English )
DB : Oracle 10g EE on Linux Enterprise Edition (Eng)
The web pages should accept data in 7 world languages including Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Italian and English. The data should be stored in the database in the language in which the data is typed.
Please let me know the database settings in Linux ( the characterset and NLS_LANG parameters ).
What precautions need to be taken at the client side ?
Thanks

Language support by NLS_CHARACTERSET:AL32UTF8

select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter like '%CHARACTERSET';
It returns me:

It returns me:

Can you tell me,according to the above configuration,what languages will be supported by this database(oracle 10g)?
I would need to store german,japanese,chinese and etc...Is it possible to do so?
Can the change in the database setting help me to achieve inserting as well as retrieving data in numerous languages?Then what is the change that needs to be made.I don't want any junk values like inverted question mark during retrieval.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks a lot in advance.

The NLS_CHARACTERSET setting of AL32UTF8 means that the database supports Unicode. So you can store virtually any character from any language in a CHAR or VARCHAR2 column in the database.
Retrieving and displaying the characters, as well as providing a GUI to enter the data properly, depends on client and application settings. For example, my operating system (an English language version of Windows) doesn't support Chinese characters using the default code page. So if I queried Chinese data that was properly stored in the database in SQL*Plus, the conversion would fail. You would need an application that had native support for Unicode (i.e. iSQL*Plus, many/most browser based apps, etc). On the other hand, a user of the Chinese language version of Windows would be able to query that same data via SQL*Plus because that version of Windows supported the necessary characters in the default code page. In order for that to happen, though, the Chinese client's NLS_LANG would have to be set in order to convert the characters from Unicode to the client's default code page.

How to configure Oracle National Language Support for Hindi

Hello
I am Working on one library project and right now it is in foxpro.
it is working in local(hindi) language using c-dec software.Now i want to run this project using oracle national
language support.i have done lots of rnd on that but till could not get success.what's wrong with that?
Following the step i am applied for that
1 I have create the database using in8iscii character set. Because In8iscii support the Hindi Language.
2 Set the variable NLS_LANG = hindi_india.in8iscii in environment. I am using the Windows 2000 OS because
it supports the Hindi font(Mangal).
3 I am using the Oracle Developer as front end so using mangal font in front end i am able to display data
in Hindi format that's why i am selected Windows 2000 os.
4 I have done the special setting in Windows 2000 for Hindi.it is in controlpanel-regional setting-click the indic option
for india and in input locals set keyboard layout as Hindi also.
5 I also changed the Init.ora file and add the NLS_LANGUAGE = Hindi
nls_territory = india. now, I opens the database using this Init.ora file.
6 But It can't display the data in Hindi format.I could not able to display the data in Front End also.
So,pls help me in Oracle and also guide me in Linux platform also.
null

Hi Nimit,
I have tried inserting Hindi/Marathi into an Oracle database (I have tried versions 8.0.6 and 8.1.7).
I created the database using UTF8 character set. The NLS_LANG was set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. Inserts into the database were via iSQL*Plus or import. For querying I used OCI and Pro*C. The data for my app is being served up as XML. I have not tried Developer. The DB platforms have been both HPUX and Win2K, while the client platform has been Win2K/IE5.5 SP2. I have been using Code2000 as the font.
Did you manage to view the stored data using the export utility ?
Also, you can try using yudit to edit unicode files on Linux.

How to incorporate a Language that is not supported in Oracle Portal

Hi,
I want to know the preferred way to add support for a new language in Oracle Portal.
If a language is not supported in Oracle Portal, how I can add the content for that language in the Portal?
Please advise.
Best Wishes.

I've seen this in a statement of direction presentation as an enhancement for R11. So this should be a R11 feature. In the meantime you might investigate the NLS views and tables and try to find a way to extend this. BUT just in an emergency case and you have to know that is not supported (also you may lose support in general for this installation when hacking the repository). So I cannot recommend this with a clear conscience. You have to know exactly what you're doing.
You can also open a SR to get an official statement from support. Maybe there's a note for this.

and
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
No improvement. please help me out of this.
how can i get arabic support in oracle AS by using jstl?
Thanks,

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

NLS SUPPORT FOR ORACLE 8I

I am trying to use the NLS support of Oracle 8i on windows
Nt/2000 platforms. I have tried configuring the database
characterset and the national character set as 'IN8ISCII' - the
one prescribed in the NLS documentation for India territory and
Hindi as NLS Language and territory parameters. I have also
tried configuring them as 'UTF8' a character set prescribed for
unicode /universal 8 bits ASCII character sets but i am not able
to insert any rows with these charactersets in NCHAR or NVARCHAR
columns. if i try to insert them in regualr char pr varchar
columns i can insert in the ascii formats and I have to retreive
them on front end through different mask format fonts.
If any one have tried the NLS support pls let me know how to
insert the records and retreive thenm in the national language..
Thanks in advance..

How to enter URDU Language data in Oracle

hi,
im having great problems in entering Urdu Language data in Oracle 9i rel.2 database on win2000 ad. server having my client PCs on windows xp,, then front end of our application being in developing process,,in .net framework,,using vb.net,,now windows xp is supporting urdu and data in urdu language is entered properly from the front end application but oracle is not supporting it,, and not displaying right translated characters,,my country is Pakistan,,laguage is Urdu,,the character set of my database is we8mswin1252 and national character set is al16utf16,,
plz help me wriggle out the situation.
regards
umar

I am not completely certain what Oracle character sets support Urdu, but I can say that Windows-1252 certainly does not. You probably want to use UTF-8 as the database character set.
Unfortunately, changing the database character set generally requires rebuilding the database. You cannot use the ALTER DATABASE command here, since UTF-8 is not a strict binary superset of Windows-1252.

Multi Language Support Setup

Hi Gurus,
We have currently upgraded from 11i to R12.1.2 and we have decided to USE MLS & NLS(Multi Language Support) for the very 1st time.We have 4 Languages (American,Spanish,French,Portuguese) so when we query for data in tl tables(apterms_tl,ra_terms_tl,fnd_responsibility_tl) we get four records for a single term_id because we are using 4 languages so we need to keep a language join. What I am doing is
Select * from ap_terms_tl where agent_id = 5 and language = USERENV('LANG'); which returns only one row with US as the language. Here is a sceneario where I am struck I want to see data in a different language like Spanish or french or Portuguese so how can i achieve that. what i am trying to do is
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = 'BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE'; and then querying for
Select * from ap_terms_tl where agent_id = 5 and language = USERENV('LANG'); i get data in Portuguese. How can we achieve this from user level perspective. like when we register a Canadian USER and he wants to see American and vice -verse.
here are the profile options for NLS & MLS
PROFILE_NAME USER_NAME
ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK ICX: Date format mask
ICX_DATE_LANGUAGE ICX: Date language
ICX_LANGUAGE ICX: Language
ICX_NLS_SORT ICX: NLS Sort
ICX_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ICX: Numeric characters
ICX_TERRITORY ICX: Territory
I tried setting up these profile Options but didn't work. I am struck Here(like where to set these profile options to make the MLS work).Let me explain the sceneriao
Here is what we are trying to achieve When a user from Canada login into Oracle Applications and runs a request set or a concurrent Program he has to see the output in Canadian Language Responsibility this should be done dynamically(changing the Language). You have give me a scenario like changing the preferences and setting the session languages can we dot it dynamically like as soon as the user logs in from Canada his session Language should be set to Canada Language.
I am just waiting for some help from the gurus.
Help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Krishna
Edited by: user12156300 on Mar 11, 2010 9:29 AM

Hi Hussien,
I able to see the languages in the tables and when i alter the session and I able to see the data in that particular Language.Even i log-in into oracle applications and click on Preferences and change the session Language Other than US i can see the screens in a different Language.Is there anything we can't do dynamically instead of user signing into Oracle Applications and change his session Language.
Like when the user logs-in from Canada then he can automatically see his country language.
Thanks & Regards
Krishna.

Multi Language Support implementation

Hi, Iam currently working in Oracle 9i database configured for multi-language support. Iam able to enter Chinese characters into the database and view it through i-Sql plus. But not able to view it in Crystal Report XI R1 Service Pack-3. Can any one help me out to view Chinese characters in Crystal Report XI Thanks in advance With Regards Bennate

No I am using VB (ADO, ORAOLEDB) to insert the data. In my VB code I know the data that I have is unicode. I cann see it by doing val(ascb(midb(Comments,2))) * 256 + val(ascb(midb(Comments,1)))
Also if I use sql plus editor to insert some data using insert into abc value nchr(64037), I can retrieve this data using my VB.
While inserting I am using a stored procedure command and am specifying the type as 202 (adVarWChar).
Does the client setting (NLS_LANG) need to be anything specific? I tried setting it to UTF8 as well

Multi Language Support in OBI

Hi all
I need to implement Multi Language Support in OBI Reporting(For Chinese Clients)
We are using Oracle Apps as Source with Single Sign-On, so there will be only one logon screen for all, and it will first redirect me to Apps and from there it will connect me to OBI and there wont be any Login Screen for Answers and I cant select the Language option.
I know the Externalizing Presentation Tables and Loading data through CSV file, but how to set the Language option from Apps Screen.
Plz dont advice "Implementing Multi Language Support in Normal OBI"
I need to implement it in Single SignOn
ThanX in Adv.
Anand

Hi Anand,
You should create an initialization block, in which you check the language of the logged in user. The user who logs into Oracle BI EE can be found in the fnd_user table. Then you should be able to verify the language of the logged in user.
Good Luck,
Daan Bakboord
