Linux Spool in UTF-8 format for non English content

When I spool from Oracle 10g for a non English content (Japanese) it is coming as unreadable chars.
I am using this file to read and store that to MySQL.
From there using a JSP program I am displaying on a web application.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Configure the operating system for the character set. Look up "globalization" at google.

Fonts are defined in the template you use to generate the pdf. Your application add the data and both is processed yb the FOP processor. Now there are two possible causes of the '???' :
1. the data you sent to the template contains the '???' already
2. the template can't digest the data (the special characters) and puts '???' in the pdf.
Before going on you have to find out which one is your problem. The 2nd is the problem you better ask this in a FOP forum as you have to solve it by changing the template.

SetMnemonic for non-english characters

Does anybody knos how to set JButtons mnemonic for non-english characters?
My mnemonic is loaded from a resource bundle, and in the documentation the setMnemonic(char) is only limited to english and it is written that the user should call setMnemonic(int) instead.
So what value should this int contains in order to display the non-english char which is loaded from resource bundle?
Thanks in advanve,
Hanoch

It seems that this is an issue that has popped up in various forums before, here's one example from last year:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=16&threadID=490722
This entry has some suggestions for handling mnemonics in resource bundles, and they would take care of translated mnemonics - as long as the translated values are restricted to the values contained in the VK_XXX keycodes.
And since those values are basically the English (ASCII) character set + a bunch of function keys, it doesn't solve the original problem - how to specify mnemonics that are not part of the English character set. The more I look at this I don't really understand the reason for making setMnemonic (char mnemonic) obsolete and making setMnemonic (int mnemonic) the default. If anything this has made the method more difficult to use.
I also don't understand the statement in the API about setMnemonic (char mnemonic):
"This method is only designed to handle character values which fall between 'a' and 'z' or 'A' and 'Z'."
If the type is "char", why would the character values be restricted to values between 'a' and 'z' or 'A' and 'Z'? I understand the need for the value to be restricted to one keystroke (eliminating the possibility of using ideographic characters), but why make it impossible to use all the Latin-1 and Latin-2 characters, for instance? (and is that in fact the case?) It is established practice on other platforms to be able to use characters such as '�', '�' and '�', for instance.
And if changes were made, why not enable the simple way of specifying a mnemonic that other platforms have implemented, by adding an '&' in front of the character?
Sorry if this disintegrated into a rant - didn't mean to... :-) I'm sure there must be good reasons for the changes, would love to understand them.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to validate for non-english character on a single line text field.
I recommend to use jQuery to attach regular expression validation. Please refer to:

In addition, for custom validations you can create your own Types. Refer to

Word Replacements for Non- English Characters

Hi
Does anyone have an idea on implementing Word Replacements for non- english characters in TCA- DQM 11i.
We are trying to identify, capture and cleanse common accented characters like à, â , ê
However, the default language for replacement is American English , So even if we add these in the existing lists it will not take any effect
Is creating a new Word replacement list for every language the solution ?? any patch recommendations???
Thanks in advance

ISF/javascript code doesn't work for non-English RequestCenter proile

ISF/javascript code doesn't work for non-English RequestCenter proile
Hello,
I am not sure if i posted the same question before also. We have some customers who have set thier language profile in newScale requestcenter to French. However, all the javascript customizations configured on the service forms do not function for 'French' as a Langauge preference. Has anyone encountered the similar issue before and can anyone please suggest a solution for it?
Thanks,
Mihir

we had a similar issue a while back where the Approval button was not working in Spanish, needed a fix from nS for it
The way to fix this would be to locate the language XML file, override the French caption with Submit and on onLoad write a global JS that would write the button label again (not so sure about this)
But really its an major defect and they should be able to fix it.

Forum-board for non-english speaking users?

Hello!
As my English isn't very good, and sometimes i don't know how to discribe my problem in English i'd like to ask if it's pssible to open a new Board for non-English speaking ArchLinux Users?
Perhaps one in German, French etc.
There non-english speaking Users could ask for help in their language and other German/French/Spanish-speaking users could help them.

The problem with separate categories for different languages is, as somebody already pointed out, that potentially useful information is then also separated. As a non-native English speaker myself, I still feel much more comfortable trying to understand bad English than perfect German of French.
I also reckon that here are not that many Finnish archers that we could have forum of our own.. and even if there was Finnish category I would propably still post to the English forums.

Bing based federated result sources not returning any results for non-English languages

I have a result source with this query:
http://www.bing.com/search?q={?searchterms} language:fr site:msdn.microsoft.com&format=rss&count=50&first={startIndex}
This used to give me 40-50 results for common terms like download, blog etc.
From today (7/14) IST, this source does not return any results. There are no results if I execute this query directly in IE either.
Same behavior observed for: language:es, language:de etc.
I do however get results as expected for language:en.
Any idea what the issue might be?

Hi Swapnil,
According to your description, my understanding is that no results returned when searching with non-English in the Result Source query.
I tested the same scenario per your post and I got the same results as you got.
I recommend to change the language:fr in the Result Source query to be lang=fr to see if the issue still occurs.

Support issue for non-English characters (in html forms)

Hi group!
I just want to post an issue here and see if anyone else has the same problem. First off, Im running Windows XP MCE but the French version (not the english version). This may help find out where the problem really is.
Second, I know a bit of html and such, and I'm referring to HTML Character entities for this thread, there's a quite complete list here for reference: http://www.faqs.org/docs/htmltut/characterentitiesfamsupp69.html
I noticed that some, not all, non-English characters written in a textarea (which is, basically, a multi-lined input box) doesnt pass well or at all to the server when sending the form from Safari. Most of the time, the content of the text area is reduced to the beginning and ends where the first accentued character is met.
The most used French accents (é, à) are usually well interpreted (but may, once in a while, produce that bug too) by safari, but ô and î doesnt do that well.
Oddly, this bug doesnt happen all the time and doesnt "crash" in the same manner everytime.
So I started a thread just to see if there's anyone else having issues with any non-english characters mostly in forms. Probably flash/shockwave does work, but I'm not sure- I have not tested yet.
Acer Aspire 5044 Windows XP Turion 1.8GHz, 1Gb SDRam, ATI 200M xpress

Yes, it is a known issue. I also noticed that it sometimes works, but most of the time it does not. It will hopefully be solved in the future. According to http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ changes that will come include:
# Support for International users
# International text input methods
# Advanced text (contextual forms, international scripts)

Support for non-English characters in Safari?

When I browse Japanese and Chinese websites, Safari only shows blank lines and empty blocks, it seems Safari doesn't support non-English encoding or UTF-8?
Windows XP Pro

It (usually) works if you use an English version of Windows. Not if you use a Chinese or Japanese version.

Problem: Adding support for non-english charachter sets in UCCX 8.0

We have just moved from windows-based UCCX 7.0 to UCCX 8.0, the upgrade process went successfully so far, but for some reasons, Cisco Agents are experiencing problems displaying non-english charachter sets, everything was working fine prior to upgrading to the new version.
Is there a way to add support for these character sets?
Thanks in advance.

Follow the command. I believe that the space is normal.

Phoneme mode for non-English voices in OS X 10.7

Hi!
I need to make the text-to-speech synthesizer speak via phoneme input method with non-English voices.
Is it possible? As far as I can see, only English voices support phoneme input method.
I'm using the OS X 10.7 voices.
Do I need to set the speech channel differently?
Thanks!

Tom,
Unfortunately, I tried that and it's still stuck in Spanish. On things like...the Login Screen, Warning Screens, etc. My menu and apps, finder, etc. are all in English, but some of the core items seem still stuck in Spanish. Any other ideas of how to fix this? Will there be a chance to adjust this when Mountain Lion is available?
Thanks for your help!
