MACOS and Mail in different languages

I need to use MACOS and Mail in two different languages (German and English). Until now, I needed to uncheck all language options except for English. After installing 10.6 I cannot find a language option. Where has it gone?

Need Help on powershell Script to send mails in different languages

Hello, Just wanted to use the script below to remind users of password expiry date (I got it from internet New-Passwordreminder.ps1). We have companies in many countries, so the email should be in the language of that country. So since our users are in different
OU's according to countries, I thought some one could help me edit this script and say if the user is in AB ou then email in english will be sent, if in BC ou then the email will be in Russian....So in the script I will have all the languages I need
to have written.
<#
.SYNOPSIS
  Notifies users that their password is about to expire.
.DESCRIPTION
    Let's users know their password will soon expire. Details the steps needed to change their password, and advises on what the password policy requires. Accounts for both standard Default Domain Policy based password policy and the fine grain
password policy available in 2008 domains.

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

Mails in Different Languages

Hi:
I have a WF for Purchase Order to notify via e-mail when the User has to authorized different orders.
My problem is that I need the mail in 3 different language, this will depend of the User that has already created.
Does anyone have any idea how can I do this?
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards
Jessica

Hi Jessica
One possibility would be to set a condition in the long text:
Pass in the default language of the recipient (from the container - you may have to create a new attribute for this) and then
/: CASE &LANGUAGE&
/: WHEN 'EN'
/: INCLUDE TEXT ID ZEN_MAIL_TEXT (Check the syntax of this)
/: WHEN 'DE'
/: INCLUDE TEXT ID ZDE_MAIL_TEXT
and so on.
Remember to change the text editor so you have full SAPScript functionality to add the command lines.
Regards
Gareth

FF 3.15 worked perfect with Snow Leopard. But everything after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right. On Facebook. And on ALL different language websites. Should I stop using FF? Heard Chrome is good.

[Edit: It should be FF 3.5. I mistyped FF 3.15]
I have MAC OSX Snow Leopard. 10.6.8.
FF 3.5 [apologies; I mistyped 3.15] worked perfect with Snow Leopard. NO problems.
But '''everything''' after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right.
Facebook crashes the most within few short seconds.
And NO different language websites even open.
I read online to use Safe Mode and try. I did. No change.
I read online to reset font cache or or something using atsUtil from the Terminal. I did. Nothing.
It is super frustrating. Same problem in my wife's Mac as well.
Should I stop using FF? I heard Chrome is good.
Try any of these news paper sites:

I have just updated my Ipod to version 6 but my ipod now states ios6 on the front of it and has all different languages on the slide button. what has happened and how do i put it right?

I have just updated ny ipod tough to version 6 and now it states ios6 on the front screen and where it says slide to input security no it is in all different languages. What do i need to do to sort?

Fire97 is corret. It appear that you have to resetup/activate the iPod. Just slide to unlock and following the on-screen prompts.

Leave request mail in different languages

Hello,
we are using the leave request functionality for different countries. The report RPTARQEMAIL is scheduled as a daily job, but sends the emails in english only (the schedule user is defined with language 'EN').
We changed the english text of the email (SE61) and included all languages which we need. But the email subject is still just in english. Furthermore the email is getting quite long and not really user-friendly.
We would like to send the emails always in the user's language (text and subject). Is there a way how to do this in the standard report?
Thanks for your support!
Nicole

You need to copy and modify the program to pick the user language text from SE61. This is required since the standard text is mentioned in Selection-Screen of this report will be picked always. you should also be able to change the subject line since this program sends composed mail.

The search allows users to type in free text (because it's not just dates they might search by, though if they do type in something that's intended to be interpreted as a date, that's the only thing they're allowed to type in). So, I might get '23/Apr/2009' or '2009/04/23', for example. (I also have to allow them to submit 23.04.2009 and 23 04 2009 and any combination of the above!)
I have written a function which breaks the string into three bits, and then I work out if each bit is a year, or a month, or a day with simple rules (eg, if it's a number between 1900 and 2400, it must be the year component).
When it comes to the month, I do two things. One is obvious: is it a number between 1 and 12? The other is, is it a month name that appears in a list of 'allowed' month names. So my function does this at the start:
v_validmonths := 'january,february,march,april <and so on>';
v_validmonths := v_validmonths || ',janv,fevr,avr,mai, <and so on>';Then I do this:
    for x in 1 .. listlen(v_validmonths,',') loop
      v_probemonth := listgetat(v_validmonths,x,',');
      if instr(lower(v_partone),v_probemonth) > 0 then
        v_month := extract (month from to_date(v_partone,'MON'));
      end if;
    end loop;   IE, I compare the first component of the string (v_partone) with the list of allowed month names. I repeat that for the other two parts of the supplied string. As you can see, if one of the parts of the supplied string matches an allowed month name, I then try to extract the month number into a variable, using Oracle's own extract function.
And that's where my problem arises. Because although "aout" is valid French for August and is permitted by my list of valid months, the extract function fails to understand it. A simple select extract (month from to_date('AOUT','MON')) from dual, for example, gives an ORA01843 (invalid month).
How can I get the code to work with French (and German, actually) months and month abbreviations whilst also being able to understand English ones? Is there an in-built function that would allow me to do this? Or is there some way neatly to say, 'yes: AOUT is in the list, and it's month 8' without me having to rely on the extract function to work it out?
(I realise that the business requirement here is very peculiar and your first reaction will probably be "this is horrible!". I will absolutely agree with you! But this is the requirement as has been explicitly specified by the MD and I can't negotiate it away, sadly.)

Hi,
Many of Oracle's date functions allow a parameter where you can override the current NLS settings only for that function call.
For example:
SELECT TO_DATE ( 'JUIL.'
                 , 'MON'
                 , 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH'
                 ) AS month
FROM    DUAL;You could also create your own table of month names
NAME     NUM     LANGUAGE
JANVIER   1     FRENCH
JANV       1     FRENCHand look up the names in this table, rather than in a string hard-coded in the function. This might be especially useful if you wanted to allow your own abbreviations or spellings (e.g., ignoring accent marks).

Displaying menus and dialogs in different languages

According to
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303588
Mac OS X could not display menus and dialogs in Polish even when it was selected as the primary language. In other words, Finder was operating only in languages further in the language preference list. I wonder whether users of Macintosh computers sold in Poland had to really use them in English or another language.
My particular problem is that I am passing iMac indigo running OS X Panther to my father who lives in Poland and knows only Polish. I searched left and right and I can't find anyway to make menus and dialogs to display in Polish. Obviously, Polish dictionary for Finder is missing (my Mac has English and German). But somehow I can't believe that Apple was successful selling computers in Poland without Polish language. Some applications in Panther, like iTunes, do speak Polish.

I would buy Polish OSX Panther if I was sure that this solves my problem.
Apple itself never provided a Polish localization for Panther, which was released 5 years ago. But at that time I believe that http://www.apple.com/pl/ did have a special add-on to provide this. You would need to ask them whether they still have that available someplace.
It would be a lot better to run Leopard, which has Polish included, if possible.

Why can't I save attachments and mail to different folders?

I am new to the iPhone world. switched from Treo, where I could save, and open attachments like excel, word, and PPT. I could put them in files also. I can't seem be to any of this with the iphone. How does Apple expect compete in the business world if we can't use the documents we need to use everyday!

You can also find non-Apple utility programs that will allow you to transfer your text messages to your computer.

Text and spell check in languages other than English

I am a linguist who writes papers primarily in English, but which contain a significant number of words and paragraphs in other languages. Is there a way (as there is in MSWord) to highlight these words and passages and choose a different language for them so that the spell checker does not see them as English misspelled words.
Even better would be for the spell checker to identify eventual errors in these paragraphs of foreign languages: However, when I choose EDIT > SPELLING > SPELLING... the spelling checker window has no button or menu allowing the user to select different languages or language dictionaries.
I know that Mail does it automatically for the languages provided. Is there anything comparable in Pages?
Most of the alternative languages I use are quite common, i.e. French, Spanish, Portuguese.

drew,
Select your paragraph, click on the Text Inspector, More button, then select the language from the menu.

Different Languages in URL-iView in EP7 SPS11

Hi there,
we create some URL-iViews and want to implement some other URL´s for different languages. But there is a problem:
SAPPortal knows only English, German, French , Internet Explorer 6 and 7 knows different languages for German, English etc.
English
Portal , IE6 ,[EN-US],[EN-AU]
German
Portal , IE6 ,
etc.
Problem is, that different users in UK or USA can´t get different URL´s, because portal only knows the languagecode but not the extensions
Does anybody know,how to patch this bug, or SAP knows his bug?
Best regards
Christian

TS3366 iOS 7: Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail conflicts with Panning Gesture

Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail is different than the back and forward gesture used to swipe between Home screens. The simple swipe with the thumb straight does not work in Safari and Mail, it conflicts with the Panning gesture. It should be relatively easy to improve the algorithm to allow for that gesture to work.

Indeed, swiping back from pdf pages sometimes works, but most often does not.
It seems that the swiping gesture has in all cases changed slightly. It is now necessary to swipe a little until a portion of the previous page is uncovered, and only then can one swipe back.
The fact that there is a specific way to swipe back from html pages suggests that there might be an equally specific way to swipe back from pdf pages. I am still experimenting. Meanwhile make sure no one is sitting to your right in case your trackpad flies off during a gesture trial.

HT5140 I did put another language in input source, and keyboard shortcut, but when I close this window, after opening the mail window, where do I see different language to click on?

You switch keyboards by going to the " flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
