Language switched to Arabic

I know this has been asked repeatedly, but the answers have not been helpful to me. It does not help to show me screenshots in English when the Arabic toolbar has more links that the English one and nothing matches up. If using screenshots, please post them in Arabis so I can actually match them up to what I see on my screen.
So, how do I switch back to English?
Apologies if I sound annoyed, but I am. It switched in the middle of a job interview and was exteremly troubling. I was communicating with people in New York and none of us have any dealings with people who use Arabic, as far as we knew.

The above answer only deals with the Skype client for Windows. When I try to check my account through a browser, by going to Skype.com, the page displays in Arabic. I cannot find a way to change it. My browser's (Chrome) language is set to English.
Any suggestions?
At the bottom right corner you should see the language selection box. Click on the arrow and select English.

Switch to Arabic Language, Keep English as Default

I primarily work in English, but have a few clients who need things in Arabic. Is there a way to be able to switch over to the English/Arabic version of Illustrator when I need to while keeping the English (North America) version my default?
What I've tried:
When I initially installed CC, I used the English (North America) language. When I needed Arabic support, I changed the language in my Creative Cloud Application Manager to be English/Arabic. I then downloaded that version of Illustrator. When CC 2014 came out, it installed the English/Arabic version which defaulted my Font, Digits, and Paragraph styles to Adobe Arabic and Arabic formatting. I tried to open my New Document Profiles to change everything back, but still have the ability to switch to Arabic when I needed to, but there were a few things that would only default to Arabic (Paragraph Direction and Alignment). I have since reset my language as English (North America) and reinstalled Illustrator CC 2014. Every default is back to normal, but Arabic is no longer an option.
What do I need to do to have Arabic language support as an option, but not the default?

without ME (Middle East) edition AI is not very compatible in Arabic, but there is some clues around it.
you can try .. you might seem it worked, but writing direction, type engine has still problems with it, don't use Arabic without ME edition,
and
Having 2 different version in CC (Creative Cloud 2014) is impossible,
so Here is how I've solved,
Photoshop > Preferences > Type > Select: Middle Eastern and South Asian
Type Tool > Character
     Language : Arabic
     Digits : Arabic (1,2,3..)
Type Tool > Paragraph
     Switch to : Right-to-Left Paragraph Direction
     UnCheck : Hyphenate
Fonts used: Adobe Arabic
Save you text file as PSD, and place in your AI/PDF file,

I also have the same issue. Even if the language is set to English, the calendar and time (in the top middle part of the screen) are in arabic.

Language switched from English to Danish

When my wife first attached her iPhone to her Mac (running iTunes 9), the language switched from English to Danish. After syncing, she reset the language back to English. But why? A known problem?
I did the same thing with my iPhone and Mac, and did not see anything unusual.

I believe this is a very unusual occurrence. It is a computer after all and computers have 'glitches' every once in a while - chalk it up to that.
BTW, I used to live in Bucks County... Riegelsville and Perkasie to be exact. We moved from Perkasie a couple years ago.

Use the "globe" key.
Of course you have to first go to settings > general > keyboard and add the arabic keyboard to the list.

Change Language Switching Shortcut in Windows 8

Language switching shortcut is set to "Win + Space", but I want to disable win key through registry and remap the "Win + Space"
to "left Ctrl + Space" as Windows 7, which is not listed under
“Change langrage bar hot keys”. How
could I do this?

Hi,
This function is by design. For more information regarding keyboard shortcuts, please see:
Keyboard shortcuts
As maelwliams suggested above, we might change the switch input language hot keys to ctrl+shift. Click the Change language bar hot keys->on the advanced key settings tab->click Change key sequence, then select in the switch input language.
And if we want to change the default behavior of those hotkeys, then we may consider to seek help in some developer forums for a better help.

Language switching shortcut is really slow

Hi!
I'm using Cyrillic and Canadian English languages on my MacBook Pro. I set up a shortcut (Command+Space) to switch between them (Spotlight shortcut is disabled). The problem is that switching is painfully slow. When I hit the shortcut it takes about 10 seconds for the flag to change. The same happens when I move around application windows. I'm using separate input methods for all the documents. Taking into account the fact, that I do not really understand what is a "document" here, the language switching turns into total nightmare when I do not know which language I currently have in any particular window. I've been using OSX for about 4 years now and this is the only issue which drives me nuts royally. Does anyone else experience this and what is the solution?
Thanks!
A.
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I've never heard of the slowness issue, but you can always tell what keyboard layout is active via the "flag" at the top right of the Finder. If you don't have this, check the box for "show input menu in Finder" in system prefs/international/input menu.

Inadvertent iTunes switch to Arabic language

Forms 10G - How to switch between Arabic and english languages.

Hi
We have a bilingual ( ENGLISH , ARABIC) form .Some of the text feilds are to be
filled in english and some in arabic . In forms 6i
the switching from LTR and RTL worked fine .We used the feild properties and
direction and language would suffice to get the required behaviour of forms.
Now in forms 10g since they work in a browser its not getting the desired
effect of changing direction in arabic feilds the cursor blinks at the right
side of the feild but still the language is english .
What am i missing here to have the feild in the form type in arabic .
PS numbers work fine .Its only the language text ie the script of the language

You can't switch languages in OS X programs, just in the OS itself. Insert the Leopard OS X disc, and choose your new preferred language when prompted.

Keyboard UI improvement request: A better Language Switch is really needed!

Hello Support,
In bilingual environment like I have in Russia, current Lang Switch is definitely the weakest part of on-screen keyboard, which is disastrous to otherwise excellent typing experience.
Please consider changing that so that one-step (NOT two-step) switching is possible, e.g.
(а)adding a dedicated key/indicator (as in WP8 / iPad / some Symbians, etc...)
(b)something like 'swipe space horizontally to switch the language' (as in Android)
I believe the issue is relevant not for Russia only.
Late 10.0.1 versions (like .4633 leaks or so) made situation even worse:
initially, the order of a languages in pop-up list was constant, which allowed to switch to a needed language rather fast
currently, the list order is constantly changing based on current language, which is VERY inconsistent.
Env: Z10 STL100-2, various 10.0 and 10.1 firmware, Russian locale, Beeline.
And, with keyboard devices like future Q10 etc, the best option is adding a dedicated switch button. Please consider that for future devices!
Hoping for better typing experience,
Cheers,
Alex

Automatic language switch [Angry poster]

I've just finished my Spanish homework in my 2013 Microsoft Word, and it wasn't pleasant. I study Biochemistry along with English, Spanish, German and my native language. What gets me worked up and really has me table-flipping angry, is that every time I
hit 'enter', the language flips over to Danish.
This means I have to stare at daunting red lines in every sentence, SELECT
it when I'm done, and flip it over to Spanish again, writing in Spanish is worst, because of the way sentences using question/exclamation marks are written, it can't function without the Word dictionary co-operating. Word nowadays has no limits to
how helpful it thinks it is, so of course it'll do these small changes here and there.
Now of course I've read up on it, and reached some kind of solution, which is changing my keyboard to whichever language I'm using. You might argue that this is the way things are most convenient for others, but I'm not asking for much here. I'm asking for
Word to NOT change the language every time I hit enter, and that shouldn't mean having to learn where all the necessary symbols are,
for every language I speak. I have no idea who came up with this idea or concept, but it's the stupidest and most crippling mistake in any software I've ever purchased. I have no idea how it's supposed to work for international students such
as myself.
So what I'm looking for is a way to select the language in a Word document, and have it stay that way, until I change it. I'd love it if Word could figure out that I'm trying to switch languages after 3 or 4 words, and back again if I was citing, but I know
what to expect. I'm already pissed as it is with these blue lines telling me that English can only be written one way. Let's see how big an explosion comes from the red lines turning on me as well.

I'm not quite sure if I have understood you correctly. What do you mean by "select the language in word", do you mean the proofing language?
If yes, I would suggest you clear the "Detect language automatically" option, in the Language dialog box (Review tab>Language>Set Proofing Language). This will help to prevent Word from changing
the language.
Hope this is what you want.

Unwanted keyboard language switch when Firefox/Thunderbird is selected

Here is a problem that I think I've had in the past, but I just can't recall how I resolved it, or find any references to it in the forum archives:
Recently I reconfigured the keyboard language input menu because I switched to a different keyboard; it now has U.S. Extended, Norwegian and a 3rd map that I've defined myself. I can mostly switch quite all right between these (and the one I've defined myself works, too), but I have one very annoying problem:
Whenever I select a Mozilla Firefox or Thunderbird window, the language setting switches to U.S. Extended (if a different one was selected.) That is, if I work in a different application with e.g. my custom map selected, then start Firefox, I notice that the flag icon changes and that I get the US layout. I can then switch back to a different one and work with the corresponding layout in Firefox. If, however, I raise another application's window, then go back to Firefox, I find that language is once again set to U.S. Extendended. The same thing happens with Thunderbird.
Any idea what is wrong?

I haven't read your code, but can make a guess at what's going wrong. Checkboxes do behave in a weird manner depending upon whether you have selected one or many.
Assuming this is the statement where you are generating the checkbox :
<input type="checkbox" name="checkBoxName" value="<%= someValue %>">
What you could do is read the checked checkBoxes in an array :
String[] values = request.getParameterValues("checkBoxName");
int sizeOfValues = values.length;
Then use the sizeOfValues to perform your delete action :
if (sizeOfValues==1)
 performDelete();
else
 for (int i=0; i<sizeOfValues(); i++)
 performDelete();
Hope this technique works.

Does each customer mean each user, or are there many users for each customer?

2) doableIn general you can use a TopLink DatabaseSession for each user/customer. You can use the same TopLink Project but can use a different login for each session you create.

If you have many users for each customer, you could potentially use a different TopLink ServerSession for each customer and allow the users to benifit from connection pooling and caching.

If you are using JPA, there is no easy way to do this currently. You could create the ServerSession yourself and then wrap it yourself with the TopLink EnitityManager implementation. You could use the same TopLink Project from your JPA persistent unit ServerSession and use a different login in your new ServerSession. If each customer has only one user then you could use a connection pool with only 1 connection.

1) a bad idea
This is probably not a good idea. You avoid being able to share resources such as connection pools across your customers, and cannot share data. But it depends on how many customers you have and how distinct they are. Having each customer run on different databases allows you to have a different machine and application server for each customer, which you may need depending on how each customer scales. If you end up having a different server for each customer, then you could just have a single persistence unit in your application and change the persistence.xml or data-source when you deploy a new customer server.
