Language change in pages

Hi everyone,
Need a little help here. My computer set up in Dutch but I want to write a letter in English and of course have the spelling checked. But I can't seem to find where I can change the language. Checked the help pages and the manual, and I'm not dyslectic Reckon it cant be to difficult.....
thanks!

Okay, let's back up. Go up to the menus at the top of the page and click on View > Show Inspector. That will open up the Inspector Palette on your screen. Click on the T, which is the Text Inspector. Once you do that, you'll see four buttons in the Inspector, one of which is labeled More. Click that one. Then click on the Language menu to select English.

How do you change the language in iPad Pages?

How do you change the language in iPad Pages? I tried lookin for it but I can't find it.

What a lot of confusion in this discussion!
The language of a text is a property of the text itself. If the keyboard or the language of the OS of the computer is changes afterwards, the language of the text remains what it was.
Only at the moment when text is typed the keyboard settings may be used to identify the language. If you are able to imagine a text composed of sentences in different languages you should be able to understand this.
Changing the keyboard in order to change the spellckeck only works at the moment of typing. With texts written earlier it is meaningless.
When I import a document written in German on my Mac to my iPhone and iPad, Pages on iPhone and iPad do niot recognise that the text is German. The spelling checker underlines everything. And what people complain about here is that we do not find the place where to tell Pages that the existing, imported text is written in a certain language.
Please stop mixing this up with keyboard issues!

The text language changed on the layout selections in pages.

I noticed there has been a language change on my pages text layout selections from English. Any ideas if/how this can be changed back to English.

HI Bev,
Are you referring to documents you have created, or to the placeholder text in some of Pages' supplied templates?
If the latter, be aware taht the placeholder text is in Latin, and is intendet to show what a block of text will look like in that template, without distracting your attention from the appearance by including any easily read meaning in that text.
Placeholder text disappears as soon as you begin typing in its contaner—replaced by the text you type.

Barry

Multi-language support for change password page in OAM

How do we setup multiple language change password from lost password management in OAM.
Thanks.
Vinay

Was able to do it by adding new files to the shared folder and updating the style in the lang folder to point to the new files.

Switch language at a page level

How do we setup in order to have a link ( usually at the top-right of the page ) to switch between (for our case) ENG and CFR.
This would allow us to change language instantenously at the page without having to logoff and login again with the other language.
Right now we can only choose the language at signon time.
Looked the peoplebook and searched online but not able to find how to get this activated.
THANKS

Unfortunately we try to stay away from customization.
What we found is that we can set this up via
PTools -> Utilities -> International -> Preferences ->
(Change language in drop-down box) ( From here we should see a language drop-down box at top-right of EVERY page we would open )
( So we can switch between languages for that page just by choosing from that drop-down box )
PROBLEM: We still dont know why this top-right drop-down box ( not the one in PTools -> Utilities -> International -> Preference page )
appears for some users but invisible to others.
Thanks.

Multiple languages in one Pages document

Hi. I don't know how to use mac software to use several languages on the same document. I regularly write articles and book chapters using sources (including interview stuff and book and article references) from English, Spanish, Italian and French. I also do posters on iWork's Pages; my mac software seems to have a lot of problems recognizing language change, and I have lost all hope to use grammar proof and spellcheckers. Has anyone been able to solve this type of problem? There must be thousands of academics out there working on multilingual documents. Someone must have come up with a good solution! I will be thankful for any advice you can give me on this

Just clarifying Tom's post.
The language of the text is part of its style, like bold or the font or color.
Select the text and declare its langauge in:
Inspector > Text > More > Language
Then include that in a Character Style and you can apply it to other text.

Language changed

Language changed and I can't change it back

I suppose that there is an unreadable languge that you do not master.
- click home button
- look for the settings icon, if not on the first psge, on one of the following
- click it, it opens on the page where Airplane mode is the uppermost, it easily found because it has an airplane icon
- on that first page swipe down to the third segment
- in that segment click on the first icon (the same icon as ettings itself), (it is "general" in english)
- in the page that opens, swipe down to the fifth segment
- in that segment click on the third icon from above, ("international" in english)
- in the page that opens click on the first icon, it opens a page where you can each language.
- click "done" when you have done, then it will change the language to what you have chosen (it takes some time). You do not have to restart.
succes,
Lex

Multiple Language Capability and Page Alignment

Hi,
I have an app with two languages. I need to know how to switch between the two languages (change the primary language). Also how to change the page alignment based on the selected language (RTL-LTR).
Thanks

Hi 930954,
You can set where from primary language will be derived by setting globalization parameter "Application Language Derived From" and for example use FSP_LANGUGAGE_PREFERENCE application item.
RTL-LTR can be set with CSS properties, that can be rendered in some conditional region on page 0 which condition refers to FSP_LANGUGAGE_PREFERENCE app. item.

On the Firefox home page, the Arabic language has suddenly started to appear
Is the language for the menus and other user interface elements still English? If so,
# Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Preferences.
# Click the Content icon.
# Below Languages, click the Choose button.
# Make sure a specific variant of English like ''en-us'' is at the top, followed by ''en''. Remove any unwanted languages as well.

Unable to view "Change password" page in other lang than English

Hello,
We have a stange problem:
Installed APEX 3.0.1 over 10.2.0.3 Database, no errors.
Applied Spanish and French translations (load_es and load_fr), no errors.
Create a new Workspace.
Create a single application (blank page).
Create a new user (no developer, no admin) and checked "Require Change of password on first use"
Default language in Browser English, try to login into single app with the new user and redirected to change password correctly.
If the Default language in browser is Spanish or French, trying to log into single app next error appears:
Error: El elemento "P50_USER_NAME" no aparece porque la pantalla HTML todavía no estaba abierta.
Same error for elements "P50_ENTER_CURRENT_PASSWORD", "P50_PASSWORD" ,"P50_CONFIRM_PASSWORD" and "P50_SESSION".
A simple error translation into English will be something like that:
Error.The element (or item) "P50_USER_NAME" does not appear because the HTML screen were not open yet.
If I try to enter with and admin user into /pls/apex app in Spanish...work fine!!!
Any ideas....to desperate with this error. I tried to translate the application.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Scott,
Are you saying that when you run your application using an end-user account whose password must be changed, but that user is also an admin, that the change password page works fine?
No, the application fails using end-user and admin user.
When I said /pls/apex I was talking about the page that has "Application Builder", "SQL Workshop"...etc in this page it works fine.
Any ideas???
Regards.

How Can I Change One Page to Look Different From The Rest of My Pages?

Hi, my website uses a CSS page with a dark background and white type. But I have one page I need to have a white background and light grey type on. I am not sure how to do this without it changing all of my site's look which I don't want to do. I only want to change one page to have a different look. How can I do this? I am new to CSS so please try to explain how I can do this in simple terms if you can. Thanks.

There are 3 ways to use CSS.
External style sheet: a separate physical file that contains all your site wide rules & to which your html documents are linked.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/DW-Link-Stylesheet.shtml
Embedded styles: page specific rules in the <head> section of code view.
<head>
     <style type="text/css">
          page specific styles go here...
     </style>
</head>
Inline styles: CSS styles in the markup (mostly used for HTML emails and not on web sites).
     <p style="color:red">This paragraph has a red style.</p>
In order of importance, inline styles override embedded styles. Embedded styles override external styles.

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

I think there may be more to this question than you say.
If your PDF page is say, 8 x 12 inches, and you found a way to scale it to 25%, changing it to 2 x 3 inch, shrinking everything on the page to quarter size - wouldn't it look exactly the same on the iPhone? It's just going to be the same as zooming.
Or were you hoping for something more like in Word, where changing the page size keeps everything the same size and spreads it over more pages? That isn't something you can do.

After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).
