No 3G iPhone support for Greek language/keyboard!

Last Friday, the very first day of appearance of iPhone in the greek market, I bought, from a greek Vodafone shop, a 16GB iPhone 3G.
It was quite a bad surprise and disappointment to me, when i realized that greek language was not included and supported in the international language and keyboard package of the device! That makes it the first mobile phone Vodafone provides to the greek market, without supporting greek language! When I mentioned that to Vodafone people, here in Athens, Greece, they blamed Apple for that problem. They said that a new firmware update is expected by Apple, and probably then the problem will be solved!!
So, ladies and gentlemen, is there any information about the availability of greek language/keyboard support for the 3G iPhone?
Thank you for your time

i sen this to support under enhancement request in case anyone is bored of typing:
Hi,
I recently signed a contract with vodafone Greece for 46 € plan (one of the more expensive from the countries that the iPhone is available) in order to get an iPhone 3G 16GB for 430 € (also one of the highest prices of iPhone with a contract) only to find out that there is no Greek Keyboard. This is unacceptable. I don't care for which other countries you have made keyboard or not (although you make sure to rub it in my face) but the essence of the iphone is that it is a tool to have with you all the time and if the is no ability to right in your native language it is rendered useless. The think that is more frustrating is that those who bought the iPhone from abroad (at 1/4 of the price) and jailbroke it have a Greek keyboard, made by Greek hackers/programmers.
Today comes, as i am told the 2.1 firmware update and i sincerely hope that it has the Greek keyboard in it otherwise my (and many other i spoke with that bought the iPhone due to its features and not due to the Apple brand) loyalty to the Apple brand (which is already in bad shape due to the Greek retailer Rainbow) is going to be in jeopardy.
please fix this
thank you

Support for Asian Languages

Well, it looks like support for Asian Languages in Dynamic
Textfields wasn't included in this version as well. I have a simple
flash file embeded in an html file with 2 text boxes. Here's the
code I'm using:
var strJapanese = "あらわせて"
var strChinese = "我想你";
japanese_txt.text = strJapanese;
chinese_txt.text = strChinese;
I currently have these fonts installed in the \Windows\Fonts\
directory:
mingliu.ttc
msgothic.ttc
but all I see is a bunch of squares in the text boxes. I have
verified that my pocket pc can use these fonts in other programs.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
BackBayChef

I used both the options but no one helps. Check the images for the understanding the problam. I try Arial unicode ms as other font but it does give correct visiblity of font.
tell some another option.

Support for Malayalam language

I wish to buy a Mac. Whether there any support for Malayalam language there? If so which unicode version is using?

Good News! While reading the features of the upcoming OS X Lion, I found extended language support, including Malayalam! The fonts are probably the same as those by nickshanks, but they might be different since the original fonts were made for iOS devices.
Expanded language support
Twenty new font families for document and web display of text provide support for the most common languages in the Indian subcontinent, including Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala, and Telugu. Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Urdu, and Tamil have been expanded. And three new font families support Lao, Khmer, and Myanmar.

I18n - how to add support for more languages (CQ 5.4)

I have a number of questions around adding support for more languages. We are already using multiple languages and would like to add more.
1. Standard languages provided
in /libs/wcm/core/i18n I can see the standard ootb languages for CQ 5.4: de es fr it ja zh-cn
How can I add more? Are there additional language packages provided by Adobe for CQ 5.4?
2. Translator tool
We have our own additional keys/strings in
/apps/site/i18n/publish
When I open these with the translator tool
/libs/cq/i18n/translator.html
as admin, I can see them all just fine.
However when I open them as another user, I only see the columns of the languages defined in /libs/wcm/core/i18n
There is a description how to extend this for 5.5 here:
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/developing/cq5-translator.html#Changing%20Languages%20Li sted%20in%20the%20Grid
and I have added the languages to /etc/languages in the "languages" property, but this does not work with 5.4 apparently (at least as far as I have tried).
I still only get the default languages from /libs/wcm/core/i18n despite the other languages being there in
/apps/site/i18n/publish
and as admin I can see and edit them.
How do I make them visible and editable for other users?
3. Tags
When editing the translations of tags, I want all the possible languages to appear in the dialog box for editors.
I have extended the "languages" property in /etc/tags and this works basically fine (as expected) as described in:
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/developing/cq5-translator.html#Changing%20Language%20Nam es%20and%20Default%20Countries
The desired language must be supported and listed in:
/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages
I want to use a 2-letter iso code (e.g. "no" for Norway") and this desired 2-letter iso code must exist as a node. If that is not the case and only nodes with locales exist (e.g. "no_no" and "no_no_ny") then a 2-letter node must be created with a default setting pointing to the default locale.
I have tried this and it works fine as expected when the default language node is created in
/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages
But /libs is a system folder that should not be modified, it could be potentially overwritten by Adobe packages.
The 5.5 docs say to create the node in
/apps/wcm/core/resources/languages
instead, but this did not work for me in CQ 5.4 and I could find no other docs describing a process for 5.4
How to do this properly in 5.4?

Thanks for that hint, I checked it and the user does have read access to /etc/languages and /etc/tags and also /libs
So it seems the only workaround would be to create dummy nodes in /libs/wcm/core/i18n - which I did with a script (to be able to repeat after installation of hotfixes/and updates).
So for example for Norwegian:
# set default 2-letter node for norway (since it is missing)
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages/no" -d 'jcr:primaryType@TypeHint=Name' -d 'jcr:primaryType=nt:unstructured' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages/no" -d 'country=*' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages/no" -d 'defaultCountry=no_no' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/resources/languages/no" -d 'language=Norwegian' -isS | grep HTTP
# set dummy node for missing languages in /libs/wcm/core/i18n
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/i18n/no" -d 'jcr:primaryType@TypeHint=Name' -d 'jcr:primaryType=nt:folder' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/i18n/no" -d 'jcr:mixinTypes@TypeHint=Name[]' -d 'jcr:mixinTypes=mix:language' -isS | grep HTTP
curl -u "admin:${PASS}" -X POST "http://${SERVER_IP}:${PORT}/libs/wcm/core/i18n/no" -d 'jcr:language=no' -isS | grep HTTP
This does create a proper dummy node (which is otherwise empty) in /libs/wcm/core/i18n
But unfortunately the Norwegian language still does not show up in the translator tool /libs/cq/i18n/translator.html
Only the standard languages show for my user.
Admin user does see all langauges we have in /apps/site/i18n/publish (but that was already the case before) - so I assume it must be some permissions are missing. I also tried giving that user modify+create permissions to /apps/site/i18n/publish but that did not make any difference.
Any other ideas what could be missing?

Portuguese Support for Touchpad's Keyboard

Hi all,
I wonder if someone could help me.
I would like to know where I can find a patch/update or app that offers portuguese language for the keyboard.
If it doesn't exist... is HP planning to offer more language support for the Touchpad???
Thanks,
Jeff
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

If Thai is not a selection for the language when you first setup your TP, then it is not supported. Search the app catalog for any language apps. that may be avail. you can also look on webosnation.com for apps that are avaqil. from their site. they may have a program for Thai language support.
If there are no apps avail. you can leave your feedback for the Thai language support request at HP, http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/email_3.html?jumpid=ex_r11694_redirect_us_en_sept11_palm

A possible solution for "foreight language keyboard shortcut" problem...

Hi(Bonjour)!
Everyone know the problem of losy keyboard layout when Final Cut is used with foreight language keyboard. We loose the COMMAND-Q shorcut.
As PieroF suggested in many posts in final cut express forum, there is a workaround:
"+I just installed Leopard and I ran into this keyboard shortcut problem.+
+I can confirm that:+
+a. the problem exists also with the Italian keyboard (in addition to other languages, as pointed by other posters)+
+b. the workaround I described in my previous answer works fine :+
+- close FCE (if open)+
+- open System Preferences/International/Language+
+- drag English to the first place on top of the other languages+
+- drag your own language (Italian in my case) again on top of English (at the end the window will show the same original settings, but something happened in the heart of Leopard...)+
+- close System Preferences+
+- open FCE: now all shortcuts work as expected, and are correctly listed with their corresponding menu commands+
+It's a workaround, it's not convenient (I'd better have this bug fixed), but apparently you have to apply it only once for each system startup.+
Piero "
As stated by Piero, you have to follow this procedure after each computer startup.
I found a way to restore the COMMAND-Q shortcut with the keyboard and mouse system pref panel.
Simply add Final Cut application and add a +custom shotcut+. Be careful to type exactly the "Quit Final Cut Express" menu.
This solution allows to restart the computer.
It's work with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro under Leopard 10.5.4.
Michel Boissonneault

Hi Michel,
I like your suggestion because the keyboard shortcuts defined in the system preferences do not require redefinition at each startup. So in theory we could define all missing/wrong shortcuts this way, and not only the cmd-Q as you suggested. Boring, but we could do it once for all.
The only problem is that I don't know how to define shortcuts for submenus, for example "Render Selection/Both": it seems system preferences allows only to define shortcuts for the menu ("Render Selection" - in this case absolutely useless) but not for the submenu.
Do you know a way ? (I looked in the help, which didn't... help).
Piero

Is there Java support for Indian languages other than Hindi?

I'd like to use Tamil as a test language for some translated java files.
I don't know whether it is supported or not.
Alternatives are Bangla, Gujararati, Kannada, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Telugu. Are any of these supported?
I'd prefer not to use Hindi.
The only website I can find listing the languages supported is from 2003. If you have a link to a more recent one, I would appreciate it.

Locale is basically a glorified String[], so the idea that some locales are supported and others are not is sort of illusory.
Quoting from the API...
[quote begins]
Locale(String language, String country, String variant)
The language argument is a valid ISO Language Code. These codes are the lower-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-639... The country argument is a valid ISO Country Code. These codes are the upper-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-3166...
Because a Locale object is just an identifier for a region, no validity check is performed when you construct a Locale...
The Locale class provides a number of convenient constants that you can use to create Locale objects for commonly used locales...
A Locale is the mechanism for identifying the kind of object (NumberFormat) that you would like to get. The locale is just a mechanism for identifying objects, not a container for the objects themselves.
[quote ends]
In other words, if you wanted to make up your own local for the language that they speak on Planet X (Xian), you could perfectly well have a Local object for that and properties or list files for it.

IVR Support for Laos Language

Dear Netpros,
Does the application "debitcard_multi-lang_Cisco.1.1.0.0.tcl" support Laos Language?? If yes then could someone suggest the changes to be made in the TCL Scripts to support the language of Laos which will fall under exceptional languages. Kindly explain the step by step procedure for incorporating Laos Language support in the current system. We need this for our Pre-Paid Calling Card operations which we are soon going to start in Laos. We are going to use either a Cisco AS5300 or a Cisco AS5350. Any suggestions or help would be highly appreciated in this area. Thanx

BUSINESS QUESTION - iPhone Support For Advertising

1. As a developer, can I build in support for advertising on the iPhone 3G?
2. If I build an iPhone business application, can I support ADs today? Future?

I think Google should be able to locate ad networks that serve ads in a size supported on the iPhone. I know Google AdSense does but I have a feeling it wouldn't generate many clicks.
You have to have an account with an ad network in order to use their code in any web based application. If you aren't accepted into a network that supports iPhone sized ads, you won't be able to include code beyond a placeholder until you are accepted into a network.

IPhone support for H.264 with B-Frame

Hi All,
In the iPhone documentation, it is mentioned that iphone supports:
- H.264 Baseline Profile Level 3.0 video, up to 640 x 480 at 30 fps. Note that B frames are not supported in the Baseline profile.
Are there plans to support B-frames in the near future ? Do you think iPhone 3G will have B frames supported ?
Thank you very much,
kusno mudiarto

As noted in the above article, support for H.264 in the native HTML5 player on Windows 7 launched 7 weeks ago in Firefox 21.
The forum software detected your Firefox as version 18. Is that correct?
Version 18 is not secure; Mozilla discloses [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html security flaws] after each new release. Is something holding you back from upgrading to Firefox 22? Please let us know so we can suggest solutions or workarounds.

Upcoming OS - Support for Greek

Hi,
I'd like to ask if you plan on having Greek language in the upcoming OS release. Thanks

Everyone on these forums is a user (bar the odd host or Apple employee but that's the exception rather than the rule) so your not going to get anything more official here if you want links check

Adding support for multiple languages

Hi all,
I've a desktop application with multiple components in it containing .rc files.Now, I'd want to replicate these .rc files in such a way that I should be able to build and generate a localized build from my source.
To explain more, as of now my release configuration would generate an English language build. Now, I'd want to do the same for all languages. Is there any tutorial on how to achieve this?
For now, I'm thinking to add multiple build configurations and let different components point to specific resource directories.
Lets say I have a folder res_english -> this will contain all english resources, res_japanese would contain all japan resources, like this I should have multiple folder each containing specific resources. CAn someone guide how to do this?
Thanks!
