Non-English language install of the SUN OS on Sparc

Hello...
I'm sure that you used to be able to do a totally non-English install e.g. in French, German, Japanese etc. but I'm told the only way that you can now install Solaris Sparc is in English and then add the language packs.
Can you advise if this it 100% correct, or if a non-English speaking country/company could install in say French/German/Japanese/ANOther language without installing the English OS first - What if they don't speak English???
Any URLs that could help clarify would be gratefully received
Many thanks
Richard

Hello.
First of all: There are multiple types of "english" in solaris:
- American english
- British english
- Standard "C" english
If you do not have the language packs you install standard "C" english.
Many parts of solaris REQUIRE standard "C" english to be installed because they work the following way:
- change language to standard "C" english (not global but only for sub-processes)
- start a sub-process
- evaluate the output of the subprocess (such as program | grep "bytes free")
One example for a program that does this is the print spooler system.
The "evaluate the output of the subprocess" step will only work if the output of the program is the same on all Solaris installations which means same language.
So the answer is you MUST install "C" english.
However I installed Versions 9 and OpenSolaris and I was prompted for my language when installing. During the installing process nearly all (not all) messages were in german language.

  • Lack of World or Non-English language films and search filter in Australia

    iTunes Australia doesn't have a search set up for World or Non-English language films in Australia whereas it does in US. Please fix and please also include more titles - very limited to the point of embarrassing Apple...

    We are fellow users here on these forums, if you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    In terms of the films that are available there, Apple can only sell the films that the studios/rights-holders have granted them licenses to sell there. You can try requesting that films be added, but unless the studios agree to it then Apple won't be able to add them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Handling Non English language characters in PDF output

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement wherein we have to display an existing Smartform output in a PDF format.
    We have used OTF to PDF conversion and displayed the PDF output in a container.
    The issue is if certain characters are of non english language then the PDF is displaying these characters as special symbols.
    The following string is getting dispalyed in the SmartForm as follows:
    ОРЕНБУРГАВТОРЕМСЕРВИС_ 
    The same string is displayed as follows in the PDF form :
    Any pointers on how to handle such cases would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards

    Before calling the smartform, use the FM 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE' and get  the device type based on the language.
    For eg:
      CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE'
        EXPORTING
          i_language = l_langu
        IMPORTING
          e_devtype  = lwa_output_options-tdprinter.
    Then you need to build the other control parameters like this:
    Build control parameters.
      lwa_control_parameters-getotf  = c_charx.
      lwa_control_parameters-device = 'PRINTER'.
      lwa_control_parameters-preview = ''.
      lwa_control_parameters-no_dialog = c_charx.
      lwa_output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'.
    Pass this lwa_output_options & lwa_control_parameters to output_options & control_parameters respectively in the Smartform FM.
    This should ideally solve this issue.

  • Passwords in non-english languages

    Hi all,
    I have some passwords in non-english languages, but enter them in English layout. Looks like "FylhjblDHfpsKexit".
    Standard keyboard doesn't display another language while it in English layout. How to enter such passwords?
    Remake passwords in English - bad idea.

    Again:  What language are you talking about?
    It sounds to me like your passwords are in fact in Latin characters, but you want to enter them as if you were using some other language keyboard.   I think the only way to do that would probably be to use a bluetooth keyboard.
    You could ask Apple to add the feature you want via
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    but I cannot imagine they would ever do so.

  • Converting a given string to non-english language

    {color:#0000ff}Hi can anybody help me how to convert an entered string in textfield to french or spanish or to anyother non-english language?{color}

    Hi,
    I don't think you get a language translator package.
    What you can do is store the fraises, words in a database.
    //SQL Code
    CREATE TABLE [Language_Data]
      [ID]    INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
      [Lang]  VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,                             //Lang English/French.....
      [Type]  CHAR(1) NOT NULL,                                 //is Fraise or Word
      [Words] VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL                             //Fraise or Word data
    GO
    CREATE TABLE [Translate]
      [ID]       INT NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
      [FK_Orig]  INT NOT NULL REFERENCES [Language_Data]([ID]), //ID of the original language
      [FK_Trans] INT NOT NULL REFERENCES [Language_Data]([ID])  //ID's for all known translations
    GO Create Stored procedures to add a new word/fraise to the [Language_Data] table,
    Create a Stored Procedure to add a translation to the [Translate] table
    Please note that to add a translation you will first insert into the [Language_Data] table then
    insert the original's ID and the translation ID to the [Translate] table Also make prevision for backwards translation

    Hi Mr_Sia and welcome to the RH community.
    You could try looking at the HAT Matrix. This is a comparison
    of all the help tools around. Click

    RoboHelp itself, whilst it does support over 35 different languages
    does not support Persian or Arabic.

  • I am getting emails in a foreign (non-english) language?

    I am receiving emails in a non-english language. I guess I must have pressed something during installation and/or startup. This is not a wish to choose a language to open web pages with it is the language with which Mozilla is attempting to communicate with me.

    This is not my problem; the emails are from Mozilla.
    I tried the previous suggestion and it looks like its going to work but at the end it pops up a screen that says "How Embarrassing". I says the problem could be caused by an open web sight or to set up a completely new session, which doesn't work either.

  • Customer conversion for non-english language

    Hi:
    We have a requirement to convert customer data from lagacy system to Oracle EBS supporting English and Non-English languages. Our conversion programs for english is working fine but we are not sure about the approach for other language converions. Can anyboody share the knowledge if faced similar requirements?
    Thanks /Santanu

    I believe your conversion programs should work regardless of the language the data is stored in, as long as the database and Apps use UTF8 characterset. To the code, data is data, whether it is in English or in another language. Your approach should be to test your conversion programs in test instances and tweak them as necessary. Are there specific concerns you have with using data in other languages ?

    This actually isn't controlled by Active Directory but by the core operating system and its language packs.

  • Has FM 9 or 10 a better working dictionary for non-english languages?

    I am using FM 7 (latest update) on Windows Vista.
    As it is now, there's a limit of how many characters a word can have for it to be entered into the dictionary. We here in Sweden have 3 letters that are not present in the English language, å, ä and ö. In the dictionary these letters are replaced with 4 (!) characters each:
    å is replaced by \x8c
    ä is replaced by \x8a
    ö is replaced by \x9a
    If I have a long word containing a couple of those letters, it wont be added into the dictionary. That means that it doesn't alert me of misspellings and it hyphenates totally crazy. The only way to get around the crazy hyphenation is to add the - manually, and that is just not good at all. If I then add or remove words before there's a 100 % chance that I will miss removing the -.
    We are thinking about upgrading to version 9 or 10. Is there a solution for this there? Is there still a limit? Don't they understand that other dictionaries are used and that some languages have longer words than the English language?

    Lena,
    The workaround is a bit ugly because you don’t get any useful feedback in the marker dialog, but it works. The following images (made with FrameMaker 7.2) show the marker dialog before and after clicking "Edit Marker"
    and the appearance in a List Of Markers document with visible special characters in a wide and in a narrow column.
    In the wide column you can see the special symbol which is the placeholder for the discretionary hyphen. If this does not appear, try to reenter \x04 in the dialog.

  • Non English language support

    Hi,
    We use measurement studio 6 in a non Unicode application, written VS2008 C++.
    We have problems displaying non English characters in CWGraph.
    1. Is there a way to set language or codepage for CWGraph dynamically? statically?
    2. Will switching the application to Unicode can help in this issue?
    3. If the above answers are false, do later versions like 7,8.x can help in this issue?
    Any other suggestions are welcome.
    thanks

    The only information I have been able to find on this is here.  It seems like you may need to change to unicode, and 8.0 or later.

    Hi Nitya,
    Installing Asian Language Files for Adobe Reader
    Asian Language Files are available for Adobe Reader. With any language version of Adobe Reader, you can display Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files that contain text in Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, and Korean (CJK). You need the additional Asian fonts installed in order to view the PDF file on non-native systems even if the author of a PDF file embeds CJK fonts in the document. All you need to do is install the appropriate Asian Language files for use with Adobe Reader. Asian Language Support installers are available on the Adobe Acrobat 6 product CD, or you can install them on demand (when a file that requires the fonts is opened) using the Updates feature.
