Language for Leopard

Hi,
I just bought a new Leopard OS X software. All docs and the explanations are in German (as I bought it in Switzerland). The sales guy said that I can easy change the language for everything into English. is that true and where can I change that ? Sorry I just want to make sure that I can change everhting to English so my wife (who doesn't speak German) can continue the MAC without problems and that all drop downs/menus etc are in English.
Thanks for help

Not really an iTunes question - go to System prefs>Personal>International>Language and make your selection. That is how it is in Mac 10.4 - I only assume that some things remain the same in 10.5.

Essential fonts for Leopard ?

I trashed a lot of fonts because I was having problems, mainly with Helvetica Neue
(who doesn't!). But I was a bit too eager and now certain dialogue boxes from the
OS don't look right.
I would like to know which fonts do I absolutely have to keep.
The strict minimum. Like for example, are all those asian fonts necessary
to the system.. if your system is in English and don't use-write in Asian languages?
I find there are quite a bit.
Is there a list somewhere I could get of essential fonts for Leopard. I would
like to trash anything that is useless.
Again, I do not use Asian fonts, my applications and operating system are in English,
I only type in English, French, sometimes Spanish and German.
Thanks

Shame to remove Get Info option to change language for individual application!

Its a shame for Apple to remove the Get Info panel option to change language for individual application! For these days I used Leopard, where I had this option, now I bought a brand new mac, for a bunch of money, with Lion, and this option had disappeared. What's that? Apple is working on making more complicated the life of their users?

Thanks for your tip, but languageswitcher not set the language permanently just for the applications started from that application. Very inelegant and windows like way.
I used the terminal to set the defaults for individual application, but that is step back to the age of command line.
I spent with this problem 1 hour instead of 1 minutes. Big step back.

Database storage of multiple languages for name of a single entity

Surely I'm not the first person to have this problem, but I can't find many resources on how to solve this. Just some background on what I'm working with, I'm running a web application using the Struts framework with jdk 1.4 on a Weblogic 8.1 server connected to an Oracle 9i database, I'm using DAO for my persistence layer, and I'm not opposed to using any 3rd party software to assist in this task.
For example, say I have a database of DVDs, My application will retrieve the list of DVDs from the database to display to the user. Depending on the user's Locale I want to display the title of the DVD in that language.
This is a simple example, but the real-world application is much more complicated. The application is highly configurable meaning that through a configuration application, my internal users can add DVDs at any time, edit the title of the DVD, or add a new language that they want the title to display in, etc. When a customer logs in to the application front-end they will be able to change the language they want the application to display in at any time, and the application will need to reflect that change. The display of constant text like field labels and page text is easy using Struts but its this configurable dynamic text thats a bit more difficult.
Its obvious to me that I will need to store the multiple languages in the database in some way, I'm thinking of either storage in some xml format, or a new table hanging off the "dvd" table with languages for each dvd. Either of these options would work for my purposes, but I don't want to go reinvent the wheel when this same problem has arleady been solved. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it

One common way to handle this is to modify your key for the dvd title to include a locale identifier:
key dvdtitle
becomes
key locale dvdtitle
Now your db can hold multiple translations of the same dvd title.

Unable to change language for SAP BW Report Iview

Dear all
We are currently rolling out BW Web Templates can be displayed in both EN and MS languages. The language can be changed via the URL that we display, e.g.
For English Language:
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
For Malay Language :
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=7&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
We have published these templates into Ent. Portal 6 using SAP BW Report Iview, but unfortunately we cannot view the report in the Malay language (SAP-LANGUAGE=7), even though we have inserted the command SAP-LANGUAGE=7 in the SAP BW Report Iview query string. All the reports, although defaulted to SAP-LANGUAGE=7 displays in English. We also tried to set the language settings for the Iview, but there are no language 7 or MS in the Iview. It can only be defaulted to the Portals language, which is English.
Note that the reports can be viewed in the different languages if we using the URL separately outside of Portal, and also within BW Bex Analyzer itself. Only the Portal doesnt allow us to view the reports in MS language.
Can someone help us on this matter? All helps really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris,
That's a bit odd indeed. If I understand your question correctly, you do get the BW reports in the correct language (either English or Malay) using the url's in your post but not when using them within a standard BW report iView?
The language setting for the iView has, unfortunately, nothing to do with the language for the content itself but can you tell me what the requested URL is for both Reports?
The BW Report iView is based on the Application Integration Component that generates the URL based on the paramaters you provide in the BW report iView.The following template is being used: <iView[PORTAl_URL]>?System=<System[url_Encode]>&Report=<Report>&DynamicParameter=<DynamicParameter[url_Encode]>. I could be that the generation of the URL fails due to the 7 (don't know why, just a gut feeling because it's the only thing that's different between those urls). You could try to use create an iView based on the Application Integrator instead (some more control over the URL template) but first you need to check whether the URL generated by the iView is correct.
Cheers!

How do I transfer a licence for Leopard to a new computer

Hi.
I have a family pack for Leopard 10.5. All 5 licenses have been used.
However, one of the machines now has a different OS on it, so effectively, only 4 of the licences are in use and I wish to re-use the final licence.
How do I do that please?
Thanks in advance for your help, folks.
Neil

How do I do that please?
If you haven't already, erase the OS from that machine and install it elsewhere. The client version of Mac OS X uses the honor system, and the number or location of installations isn't stored or tracked anywhere.
You won't be asked to provide the serial number during installation or setup.

Purchasing additional languages for movies on Apple TV

Hello,
We are a multilingual family, and are trying to promote the use of all our languages to our kids, French, Italian and English. We use the Apple Tv extensively, and I was wondering if there is an option to purchase aditional languages for movies on the Apple TV.
for example we purchase kids movies on the French itunes store and it includes both french and english languages, but not italian. However that same movies is available on the italian itunes store in italian. However since I have already purchased the movies i don't want to buy them all again on the italian itunes store. That would cost too much, but also we would have duplicates of our movies and in seperate itunes store accounts just to be able to watch them in different languages. This would be very inconvenient. In other cases, some movies on the french itunes store only have french as the language, however the english and italian languages are again available in the english and italian itunes store respectively.
The world is becoming ever more international and multilingual, and access to languages should not be so complicated. In fact Apple has always been a pioneer in offering all languages on their Mac OS and iOS, embracing the multilingual spirit.
IT would be extremely useful, if we could add aditional languages to an already purchased movie.
thank you for your help, if you have a solution to my problem.

To have Apple see your request, you should repost it at
http://www.apple.com/feedback
In the meantime, you might want to see whether other stores offer movies with more languages included.

Is there a workaround so for Leopard and iCloud yet?

I have an iMac PowerPC on Leopard at work and a MobileMe account which syncs my iPhone4 (iOS4), iPad1 (iOS4), my work iMac (Leopard) and my home Mac Pro (Snow Leopard). Syncing works perfectly. I love it.
I've been holding off on updating my MacPro to Lion and my devices to iOS5 and iCloud because I REALLY don't want to lose the ability to use Leopard Addressbook and iCal at work.
I just hate the thought of my iMac Addressbook and iCal databases not being sync'able anymore rending them useless, certainly more and more as I add to my calendars and contacts on my other 3 devices with my iMac out f the loop since you can't go farther than Leopard on a PowerPC.
If there is no way to keep my iMac in the synch "loop" after upgrading to iCloud, I guess I'll be forced to use my iPad or iPhone Contacts and Calendar at work and have them sync to iCloud so at least my iPhone, iPad and MacPro will be in sync.
What a shame. I know I'm not alone. I can't get work to buy me a new Mac (especially since everyone else is on PCs) just so I can use my computer's Addressbook and iCal applications. Otherwise it's still a viable computer.
I'm hoping there's some 3rd party programmer out there working on solving this issue. There are just too many Leopard computers out there with lots of life in them to become obsolete because of iCloud. What a strange way to kill a computer product and OS line.
S

The problem with the post above is that events created in ical don't sync to icloud,ical can only retrieve it from the cloud,so I tried something to solve that.
Just figured out how to get an icloud-account in ical for Leopard 10.5.8
you'll find the info in:
~/library/calendars/[the calendar that ends with] .caldav/info.plist
Open the info.plist with textedit
somewhere down the page you'll find <key>PrincipalURL</key>
underneath this:
<string>https://p02-caldav.icloud.com:/XXXXXXXXX/calendars/YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-Y/</string>
X.....being your unique ID
Y.....being the calender ID
In ical:
-Click create account
-description = whatever name you like
-user name= apple id
-password=apple id
-server options= https://p02-caldav.icloud.com/[your unique ID]/principal/
This creates the icloud account.
Than:
-export a calendar to the desktop
-drag the calendar on the icloud account
there's your icloud calendar!
click 'get info' from that calendar and you will see the url that should connect to icloud but......it doesn't!
Can anyone help me with that please?
I tried a thousand different url's but I can't get ical to connect with icloud.

Should I waith for Leopard?

Thanks in advance, I need advices.
I am planning to get a 250 GB 2.5" HD (if you know of a larger one internal let me know) for my MacBookPro core duo 2. I will install: Parallel(or one of the others to run windows on my mac),windows xp pro with office 2007, sony acid, ProTools 7.2
I use adobe photo shop, indesign and illustrato as well.
I am also waiting for my new Logic and final cut programs (i am learning these two applications).
All my music and photos will be recorded in external HD and will be installing only the applications in the internal HD.
1. Should I wait to get leopard to do a fresh install
2. is it worth it to install the applications and re-install everything when leopard arrives?
3. how much disk space will be enough to have sony acid and MS office in the windows partition.
THANK YOU...

I already have the MacBookPro Duo 2 with 120 gig hd, 2gig RAM.
I know it is not enough HD. That is why I need a bigger one. I only have 50 gig of free space right now, but I still need to install: sony acid, final cut and logic; PLUS windows xp pro and Micro Soft office PRO.
The question: is it worth it to install just logic and final cut to play with it, or should I wait for leopard (and my new HD that I still need to buy) to install the applications complete with the accessories that comes with it (sounds, filters, etc.).

Multi Languages for Org Unit

Hi experts,
Is it possible to have 2 sets of language for abbr and name in IT1000 for org unit in the same period?
example:
Start Date : 01.01.2008
Language: English
Abbr: HR
Name: HR department
Start Date : 01.01.2008
Language: Chinese
Abbr: HR
Name: HR department (Chinese)
Regards,
Joanna

Hi,
It is possible.
But before that need to chk with basis guys whether unicoding is enabled or not.
If Yes the chk chineese script is enabled or not.
If yes then maintain the orgunits in english language by entering SAP in English language (U can find the language seletion field in log in screen).
Upload the orgunits. then go to Tcode RE_RHTRANS0 to put the names in Chineese.
This is one option.
2nd option is prepare the excel sheet with Chineese language with orgunit keys. Log in into SAP in Chineese language.
Upload the data.

How to install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X

Hi guys, just question that how to silencely install several specified languages for Adobe Reader X?
I know some silence switch as below:
setup.exe /sAll /rs
=> Silencely install all supported languages
setup.exe /sAll /rs /sl "xxxx" (xxxx is LANG ID)
=> Silencely install one specified language only (defined by LANG ID)
Question:
If I would like to silencely install several specified languages, is there any other switch to do that?
Thank you all in advance.

My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thank you.

I cannot find how to change the language for labels in a quiz

You have to be aware that this will only change labels if you edit before adding quiz slides: Preferences, Quiz, Default Labels. You will have to edit the labels, choosing another language will not change them automatically.

How do I change the default language for the spell checker? - solved, sort of...

As the previous thread was closed without actual resolution - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941350?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
I managed to solve this on my end by just reinstalling firefox using the localisation of the default dictionary language i wanted from here - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
A bit of a shame that the main download page doesnt select the geographically relevant localisation for you and even more so that changing the default language for the in built spell checker is so kak. oh well.
