Multi-language installation disk
When I insert the installation disk (leopard or snow leopard), there is an option to choose a language. The default is English. Does anyone know if this language option is only for the process of installing the system or is for the system itself which is to be installed? To clarify, for example, if I choose Chinese, the former means that only the installation process is in Chinese, when the system installed will still be in English; the latter means that both the installation process and the system will be in Chinese.
Thanks!

It is for the system itself as well. If you want the OS in English, choose English. The OS language can also be switched at any time later via preference settings however.

Question regarding multi-language installation
Hello,
I would like to know if there are any known solution regarding multi-language packages for the different Creative Suites that we can create using AAMEE?
I was thinking to create a trial version with a serialization answer file after the installation, but I think I will run into issues using this method.
Thanks for the help!Hi,
Currently you cant create a single multi-language package using AAMEE. You will have to create a different package for every language. All the serial numbers will ultimately serialize the product in 1 language only. Even for serialization file approach you will have to create a trial package using AAMEE and trial packages are also language specific. If you have a multilingual serial number, my suggestion would be to create a serialized package for each language seperately and deploy them.
Thanks,

[office] OpenOffice multi language installer in staging
hi
here is the newest OO creation from my side
a installer where you can choose your language you want
and it automatically generates a package and installs it
still binarys are used but it makes life easier
At the moment some languages are supported you can help to expand it
supported languages are:
us,de,fr,it,cs,nl,ja
to install type
pacman -S oo-installer
Feedback is very welcome
enjoy the installerHere is the gentoo.org ebuild
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.c … ld?rev=1.5
It seems that they also need gcc3.2/3 to get it working, but at least there seems to be options for multilanguage compile. I´ll try to compile it..

Adobe reader multi language installer..
Is there any adobe reader installer that supports all language?
For Adobe Reader 11.0.0 all the msi and exe files for Finnish, Dutch, Swedish are available in this location
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/
But for the latest version of adobe reader 11.0.06, the installer for the languages such as Finnish, Dutch, Swedish are not availabe..
So I want to know whether the current version supports for these languages? If so where can i get the installer files? -
Multiple language installer for Adobe Reader
I need a compressed multiple language installer for Adobe Reader to install with my software. Is one available?
When we requested a license to distribute the multi-language version of Adobe Reader with our software, we recieved the following link to a download:
"For full installers: "
"To download the English language version of Adobe Reader 9 with Acrobat.com in compressed .exe format, click here."
When you click on the link, you get a single file (AdbeRdr11006_en_US.exe). This is an installation for english only. I am looking for a single .exe file for a multi-language installation.
The link you provided above is to a .zip file that must be extracted and then run. This requires additional steps in our installation process. We were hoping you have a single installation file to prevent these additional steps. -
Replaced hard drive - now I get kernel panic when I load installation disk
Hi all,
I just replaced a dead hard drive on my Powerbook G4. The Apple Hardware Test says everything is fine. When I put in the installation disk that came with my laptop (OS 10.2.3) and hold down the "C" key I just get the polite suggestion in several languages that I reboot--from surfing the boards I think this is called a Kernel Panic (?). If I don't hold down the C key the computer just crashes. It is possible that my installation disk is bad--was accidently stored in the attic for a couple of years and I only went to look for it after my hard drive died. However, the AHT disk was also stored up there and it worked just fine. I have the phone number for Apple to call about replacement disks, if no one thinks I've overlooked some other possible cause.
Thanks,
LoriLori:
I am glad you were able to boot from your co-worker's disk. As you noted, that isolates the issue as being a faulty install disk.
It looks like I'll be purchasing 10.4.
To install Tiger your computer will need to meet the minimum system requirements for Tiger.
You will need to purchase the Full Retail Version of Tiger. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales 1-800-692-7753.
You can find the Full Retail Version of Tiger, if you shop carefully, at online outlets like FastMac Retail $159; CDs $179, HardcoreMac Retail $199, CDs $249, AllMac Retail $149, CDs $179, etc. If you know what you are looking for, read all documentation carefully and ask questions of the seller, you may be able to get Tiger on eBay.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.
Cheers

DVR-K17 DVD drive won't read installation disks
Hi ,
My DVD drive will read music, data dvd's but will not read any installation disks
Have tried finding firmware update - but it does not seem to exist
Compaq Presario
V6508AU
Win 7 64 bit
was hoping the fresh install would fix the problem (came from Vista 32 bit)
but it didn't
any suggestions appreciated
VixTotal WAG: are your home-made data DVDs finalized? I think just about everything these days can handle mulit-session CDs, but IIRC there are some configurations that won't recognize multi-session DVDs.
Like I said, just a WAG.

Screen dims and multi-language "restart" message appears
Currently, every time Safari is used, the entire screen dims and a multi-language (German, Chinese, etc.) message comes on the screen saying that I must physically power down my machine and restart. No error message is given, nor are any other options allowed, as the keyboard and mouse are rendered useless.
I have rebooted the machine several times, including powering down the cable modem, but the problem persists.
This problem has occurred in the past, but seemed to clear itself, only to reoccur starting yesterday (23 Sep 05). I can't shake the feeling that this problem is more in the OS X arena than in Safari's, but testing does not seem to bear out my feelings - all other installed applications appear to run properly and this phenomenon of screen dimming with forced power down and restart does not occur with other applications.
Any thoughts? Thanks! Bob Meyer.I suggest the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
If you continue to have the problem, then reinstall the OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo) updater. -
Repair HD with original Installation disks
Help, I ran Disk Utility on my startup disk (iMac HD) to be advised it was corrupt and I need to start up my iMac with another disk (such as your mac os x installation disk) and then use the disk utility to repair the disk.
My original os x installation disks (2 off that came with imac at purchase) are for os x 10.4.10 - I am currently using os x 10.6.8. If I do the above with the 10.4.10 disks will it change my os x level back to 10.4.10 or just use it to repair the HD and leave 10.6.8 and my data as is?
I'm doing this as my imac has slowed considerably for all apps and stating up - my best guesss is this corrupted startup HD is a major contributing factor.
Can anyone advise if I should go ahead and what the results will be.
Thanks.You should be able to check and hopefully repair the drive with grey Disk 1 that came with the Mac. This doesn't alter the version of OSX you have installed.
Although you hopefully won't need it do you have backup you can restore from if it turns out the disk is unrepairable?
Restart with grey Disk 1 in the drive whilst holding down the 'c' key. (You're not going to re-install the OS) At the first screen choose your language, at the next scree, from the menu bar select Utilities>Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If anything gets fixed/changed click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Restart as normal from the Apple menu.
A common cause of slowdowns seems to be caused by some anti-virus programs, Trusteer's Rapport (banking security software) and apps that claim to 'speed up. enhance, boost, etc. your Mac'. The worst offender seems to be MacKeeper - do you have any such software installed?
Also, lack of RAM can cause similar slowdowns - how much do you have installed? -
Multi-Language Planning application - How to build?
Hello,
I might need to create a multi-language application for English, Spanish, and French users. I understand that installation localization will support multi-language user interface. However I need pointers on how to go about creating an app with minimal maintenance.
How do deal with following?
-> Member names: This can be handled through alias tables.
-> Web forms : Should we create similar forms in different languages?
-> Reports: Similar reports in different languages?
-> Business Rules / Calcs: how display names in different langugaes?
Thanks,
AmitYou only want a single WindowedApplication component in an
AIR application. For the other windows, use the Window component.
You can then create this window object in response to the user's
menu selection. See
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/launching_windows.html
for examples of opening windows. -
Is there a multi language pattern existing?
We build a ERP software with a framework which is on top of EJB. The applications have to support multi language since the applications will be used in different countries.
For example there is an Article value object which has an attribute 'description' which needs to support descriptions in many languages.
There are many of such multi language attributes in our ERP software. If we would be put them all in an own table in the database, then we would have many, many tables. So we think of putting all the multi language attribute data in one table.
If someone knows a pattern which is suitable for this purpose, please tell me. But please remember that we use a framework which is on top of EJB.Do any of the installations of this application need
to support more than one language? More cleary, is
each user going to specify their language in the on
starting their use of app or is each installation of
the solution going to be in a single language?
Essentially, are you going to need to support
mulitple languages simultaneaously or just one
undetermined language?Yes, more than one language.
It would be good if the users can switch languages dynamically in the application. Then the language of the GUI changes and/or the language of the objects, like the description attribute of the article object.
Multiple languages should be supported simultaneaously.
And there should be a default language. -
Start up from Installation Disk
In Disk Utility it says that to test the start up disk, boot from the OS X Installation Disk, then open Utilities and Disk Utility. You can't. You can only re-install the operating system (placing the existing system in a folder called, 'Previous System').
I did run the Apple Hardware Test (okay), but I don't think that's the same as testing the start up disk.
What am I doing wrong?
Power MAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)Yes you can.
After booting from the Tiger install disc, select your language and at the next screen (Installer window), select Utilities > Disk Utility from the Installer menu bar.
System troubleshooting procedures including instructions for running Disk First Aid repair when booted from the Tiger install disc (1st procedure) included per this link.

Bootcamp: installer disk could not be found - but MAC desktop can see it
Hi,
I have an iMac intel - 17" 1.83 GHz that I put together from a box of junk. Mechanic friend took it all apart, don't ask. Installed a new hard drive of 1 terrabyte. The internal optical drive does not work so we got a new Iomega optical drive that works just great.
We want to run Windows XP Pro on this iMac - and after updating all of the software in Mac (OS 10.5.8), and running Bootcamp set up assistant, partitioned the drive to 500 GB MAC; 500 GB PC, got this error message saying that the Windows XP installer disk could not be found.
The disk appears on the desktop. I can click on it and see all of the pc files in it. I clicked on a couple of the files and got a simple text document of gibberish. But the set up assistant in Bootcamp still doesn't recognize the disk. So I have been unable to install Windows.
The disk itself is a burned copy from my university that gave me a full license for Windows XP Pro, SP 3. It's 32 bit. And it shows up as an install disk when I pop it into a PC.
I've run Disk Warrior and Disk Utilities to repair permissions and to check that the new hard drive is ok...and it's all set.
I wonder if this is because of the external dvd drive that I'm using. I can use my Macbook Pro and get the imac into target mode. But don't know if this will have me continue to bark up this tree.
Has anyone had success with the same kind of problem that I'm not facing? Thanks much in advance.
SheilaI too got a version of Windows 7 64 Professional from the the Microsoft Software Distribution Network through Uni. I burnt the iso file on a PC to a DVD with power ISO and then tried to use it as the install disk. After some umming and arrhhing Mac OS X recognised it, the installer started, allowed to select language etc, then suddenly a box appears announcing that a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing.
I have rang up apple support and they are pretty much saying it is a disc quality issue, but I have checked all the disc drive regimes and permissions and they all seem to be fine. I have also done it with multiple brands and a number of times, everytime the same message returned. All the latest firmware has been downloaded. One thing that was briefly mentioned by the guy at Apple support was that there was the possibility that it may be the "logic board". So the previous poster may be right. They said this was unlikely, but everything is possible. The drive works for everything in the OS X side though, so has pretty much stumped me and the Apple support people. I think the only option is to take it to an Apple shop and let them see it for themselves, not really an option for me as I need the Mac Book to write my dissertation, due in about three weeks so can't afford to lose it.
Sorry if I have slightly "jacked" the thread, but the issue sounded pretty close to mine. Any resolution or insight into what might be the issue would be amazing.

MiniMac won't startup from installer disks
I've got a miniMac 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB, currently running OS X 10.4.11. Permissions have been repaired, but Disk Utility reports a problem (Invalid Record Count, The underlying task reported failure on exit). But I can't get the Mac to start up from ANY of 3 different installation disks while holding down the "C" key. One of the disks (10.4.2) is a grey one that probably did not come with this miniMac, but it also won't start up with a black Tiger installation disk (10.4.6), nor from a white Snow Leopard upgrade disk. None of the disks show up in the Set Startup Disk window either. Yet they all appear normally on the desktop and I can access the files on them okay.
And, in further testing, I now find that I am unable to reset the NVRAM on this computer (holding down option-command-P-R). The computer restarts, beeping only once, as though the keys were never depressed. And trying to start up in the Startup Manager (holding down Option) also fails, as does trying to run an Apple Hardware Test (holding down D). It's as though there are no keyboard inputs...except I can type on the keyboard without difficulty. (We were using a wireless keyboard and mouse on this computer, but I've removed them and their wireless transmitters from the system and connected standard Apple-issued keyboard and mouse for the purposes of testing.)
Any suggestions?I located two additional installer disks, both clearly labeled for use with miniMacs. One is a 10.3.7, the other 10.5.6, but neither of them would mount as a startup either. And now there's a bigger problem -- when I tried the 10.5.6 disk, it did LOOK like it was running as a startup disk (got the language selector), but it would not allow repairs to the hard disk, only verification (Repair button was grayed out). And now, when I try to restart, the Mac gets as far as the Apple logo, spins the daisy a bit, then shuts down. The installer disk is still in the Mac and I can't eject it, and can't start the Mac up at all.
And no, holding down the "T" key doesn't do anything (but I do have an iMac running Snow Leopard and connected via Airport). -
Indesign GS4 Multi-languages - language change
