Non english password

Hi, why i can't input a non english characters in a password. My native language is russian and some of my friends use a none english characters in login and passwords. But in a password my mac mini with lion don't alloy this. What i should do to fix it?

Uou must have Russian as your default language, and a Russian keyboard layout as a default keylayout. This is usually done upon installing the system, but you can do that even now in sys prefs/language and text by dragging Russian as the first language of the system, and choosing a Russian keylayout (you have 3, I guess) as a default keylayout.
Pay attention to what you do, playing with such things may lead to not being able to log in.

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.

Can username, password have unicode(non english) characters

Does Oracle allow a username, password to have non english characters.

I found the answer to my own question. In essence it looks like the answer is Yes for UserName and a little confusing for the Password. Password has to be in Single byte characterset, not clear whether 7 bit or 8 bit. 8 bit from my understanding is Ascii + some Western European characters.
Following is from Oracle 10G Database SQL reference
user
Specify the name of the user to be created. This name can contain only characters from your database character set and must follow the rules described in the section "Schema Object Naming Rules". Oracle recommends that the user name contain at least one single-byte character regardless of whether the database character set also contains multibyte characters.
Note:
Oracle recommends that user names and passwords be encoded in ASCII or EBCDIC characters only, depending on your platform.
BY password
The BY password clause lets you creates a local user and indicates that the user must specify password to log on to the database. Passwords can contain only single-byte characters from your database character set regardless of whether the character set also contains multibyte characters.
Passwords must follow the rules described in the section "Schema Object Naming Rules", unless you are using the Oracle Database password complexity verification routine. That routine requires a more complex combination of characters than the normal naming rules permit.

Search for description containing non-English chars -- ?

Hello!
I've implemented a search class, which allows customers to search folders/documents by name, owner, description, etc.
And here's the problem: if description contains non-English (Russian, in my case) characters, search does not work! Everything (AS infrastructure, CM SDK DB, etc) was installed using UTF-8 Unicode charset. When I debug the code, I see that when I build AttributeQualification and later compose a comples SearchQualification, value in these is correct, but when I call getSQL(), I see string like this:
... ( nls_upper(ALIASDOCUMENT.DESCRIPTION) LIKE nls_upper('????') ) ...
So it seems as if SQL converted passed UNICODE value into ANSI string, and since server's system language is English, my Russian letters were lost -- ?
Can anybody shed some light here? Is there a way to search for UNICODE descriptions (and content, for that matter)?
Thanks,
Sasha.

Hi Sasha,
I want you to try the following code. It should output the file description and query to a text file. Use internet explorer / or notepad to open this file and ****specify that the file encoding is UTF8.*****
thanks,
matt.

I have non English characters showing up.

This morning I wanted to make a change in my Security & Privacy settings and when prompted to authenticate the dialogue box contained non-English characters. Even the OK button appeared to be in Chinese are the like.
Any ideas welcome. OS X 10.8.1

I'ts not all of the text though. It's just the authentication popup that asks you for your password when you want to unlock the padlock to make changes. It comes up with "System Preferences" then two lines of non-english characters followed by "Type your password to allow this". Then of course you have the Name and Password text fields. The Cancel button is normal and the what would normally be the OK button, is in non-english text.
Everything else system-wide is fine.
It's got me...

Screen locked with non-English keyboard layout selected

Hello,
I use two keyboard character sets for keyboard. The switch between them is Command-Space.
I also have password requirement for waking up or going from screen saver.
Now if screensaver starts with non-English layout selected, I'm not able to login:
password is not accepted because keyboard layout is not English and switching
to English layout does not work in unlocking window.
Is there any way to change layout while in the unlock window?
Thanks

Yes you are right, this is not a bug, it's just bad user interface. Just imagine the following scenario...
Writing a paper, switching to Greek to enter a couple of characters and leaving the mac idle for 5 mins.
The lock screen comes up asking for a password, unfortunately the user didn't change the language
before the mac was left idle and there is no option to change the language in the lock screen.
User has to hard reset to access the mac and let's hope that the user was saving his paper frequenlty.
So from a coding point of view this is not a bug, but from a user interface design it is a huge flaw

Non-English characters

Hello, I have read several times that since Java uses Unicode, it solves the problems of non-English characters automatically or something like that.
But my app is not working as expected. Would someone help please?
I have a client/server combo written in Java. The server can send messages in English or Japanese. The Japanese messages are hard-coded as String literals in the server source code. On the client side, they are displayed on a JEditorPane. But the Japanese characters are all garbled. The OS on the server side and client side are, of course, different.
My supposition, which is obviously wrong as it is not working, is that since both ends of communication are Java app, I need not worry about any encoding conversions for String literals.
Suggest me what is wrong here?

How is the required encoding/decoding supposed to be done?
When I didn't worry about non-English characters, I did the following, which WORKED.
// SENDER side
Socket socket ;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
String outMessage = "my message";
out.println(outMessage);//RECEIVER
Socket socket ;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String inMessage = in.readLine();When non-English characters are involved, I did the following, which DID NOT WORK. Please someone correct me.
// SENDER side
Socket socket ;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(),true);
String outMessage = "my message";
String utfString = new String(outMessage.getBytes(),"UTF-8");
out.println(utfString);//RECEIVER
Socket socket ;
InputStreamReader ins = new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream(),"UTF-8");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(ins);
String inMessage = in.readLine();The received message is still garbled.

Non-english character display as square box

Hi all,
I'm not very sure if this question should be asked here or in the JRE board, thus I'm trying here also
I have been trying an opensourced application called Alliancep2p (could be obtained from www.alliancep2p.com) using JRE 1.6 on an English Windows XP Pro machine.
The problem:
all chinese input are displayed as "square box". It looks like the programme "gets" the correct character, only that everything is displayed as "square box".
It looks like a font issue, though I'm not that sure. Is there anyway the default fonts could be changed, or to get the characters correctly displayed?
Note: I have east asian fonts installed, and the Java config panel can display chinese or other non-english characters correctly.
I tried the same application under GNU/Linux (locale is UTF-8) and chinese input/display correctly without any problem at all. Does it mean that it is not the problem of the application, or?
The original question in the JRE board:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5265369&tstart=0
Thanks for all the input.

I'm not really sure if it's a problem of the application or not. But the fact that it works perfectly under Linux makes me think maybe it's not the problem of the program, and actually their developers said that unicode is being used all over the program and seems like they're not CJK users also.
I'm not a java guru so I can't really tell from the source if there's anything wrong.

Non English characters in FTP transport

Hi gurus,
I have this kind of problem: I need to create text file from internal table (table of 10000 charactes lines) , the file should be created in given ftp server (currently using FM FTP_R3_TO_SERVER).
But, and here is the problem, the text file contains some non English character (Czech to be specific) and after the file is created in ftp server the non English character are replaced by #, characters are fine in the table, even after creating the file on local system everything is fine.
I checked rfc connections, their are Unicode, file is sending in bin mode of ftp (ascii mode had no change, only acsii mode cuts the line to 256 character which is not enough) and parameter of fm FTP_R3_TO_SERVER character_mode is checked.
I will appreciate any help or "kick" in right direction.
Thanks
Martin

Hi Salehashaikh,
I'm not using the FM 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER' any more to transfer the internal table to ftp, so I do not have the code. Sorry,
but i will try to answer the question.
when you are using function module 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER' to transfer internal data to ftp the parameter fname should be the name or path of the file you are creating. If you only put file name there for example:
     CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER'
       EXPORTING
       handle = w_hdl
       fname = 'test_file.txt'
     character_mode = 'X'
this will create file test_file.txt in root directory on ftp.
You could also put there whole path on the ftp for example
      fname = '/directory/test_file.txt'
Other approach will be to change to the directory with function module 'FTP_COMMAND' with parameter command set to cd /directory/ code will look like this:
data: lv_command type string,
         lv_path type string.
constants: lc_change_dir type string value 'cd'.
*body of the program including calls of FM to connect to ftp
concatenate lc_change_dir lv_path into lv_command sepparated by space.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COMMAND'               "this FM will execute any ftp command on ftp server
EXPORTING
   HANDLE                = lv_handle
    COMMAND               = lv_command
TABLES
    DATA                  = lt_result
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER'
       EXPORTING
       handle = w_hdl
       fname = 'test_file.txt'
      character_mode = 'X'.
this "code" will create file test_file.txt in the ftp server on given directory from internal table passed to fm ftp_r3_to_server.
list of ftp commands could be found http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/ftp.html
good explanation of ftp is here http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ABAPsolutiontoimplementFTP+transactions
I hope this is understandable and helps to solve your problem

Non english characters in DN cannot be retrieved

We are using Netscape directory server 4, protocal V3. We have a problem related to non-english characters appearing in RDN.
We publish to Ldap entries using the values from database. For example, we have pubulished an entry to Ldap, based on DB values, the entry should have a DN like: ou=Liege BELGIUM ... LGG1a, <other components of DN>. However, when we call netscape search API (search against uid attribute which does not have non-english characters), the search return the entry, but when further call getDN() method on the returned Ldap Entry, it only returns Li, instead of the complete DN value.
It seems the entry is corrupted in Ldap. I wanted to delete the corrupted entry and re create new one to test. I tried many ways, but none of them worked, I think it is because DN is corrupted, there is no key value to identify the Ldap entry for any operation(modify, delete).
You help and insights are much appreciated.
Thanks.
Han Shen

LDAP uses the UTF8 encoding. You must store data in the directory using the UTF8 encoding. This includes DN values. This also means that if you want to be able to view the values in your native character set and font, you must use an application that can convert the UTF8 LDAP data back to the native character encoding. The directory console by default should work for LATIN-1 (ISO 8859) languages if the LOCALE is set correctly.

Non English characters in BIP email

Hi, my report contains Japanese characters, when I view the output in HTML format. It is displayed properly. But when I click on send button , enter email parameters like to, cc, bcc, subject , etc and send it, in the mail I receive, the japanese characters are not getting displayed properly. The same problem occurs for spanish and portugese texts-in general to all non english characters. I am using Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Release 10.1.3.4. If someone has faced a similar issue, kindly help. Thanks in advance

Suggestions
1) Try with NLS_LANG as
SWEDISH_SWEDEN.WE8DEC
2) Make a paramform and enter via paramform (unencoded)
(This is just for testing purpose)
3) Change machine locale to swedish and try
4) Which reports version is this ?
Please see
BUG 2713695 - NLS CHARACTERS FOR PARAMETERS CHANGE TO QUESTION MARKS WHEN PASSED ON URL BAR
Get in touch with Support to see if this is the issue and if "yes" get a one-off patch.

"Program files" directory problem during Microsoft Office Customization Installer in non-English versions of Windows

We have a document-level customization solution for Word and are experiencing problems during deployment in an environment running on terminal services. The OS (Windows 2012) is English and Word (2013) is non-English (German).
Installation is done into the "Program Files" folder correctly. But when trying to start a word document linked to the specific template. The "Microsoft Office Customization Installer" pops up with the error.
"There was an error during installation"
From: file:///C:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto
Downloading file:///c:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto did not succeed.
Exception: ....

The problem seems to be that the installer is looking for C:\PROGRAMME instead of C:\PROGRAM FILES. C:\PROGAMME is the German localized name of PROGRAM FILES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Files).
The installer installs the solution correctly deployed into c:\program files, but when the later a user tries to start it and the Microsoft Office Customization Installer is called, it tries to access the non-existing "c:\programme" folder. This
doesn't exist, because Windows is English.
Is there any thing related to deploying solutions on a platform which has different languages (mixing/matching of OS language and Office language?)
Thank you for your help

Hello,
1. First, I would confirm with you whether you dealt with the localization for your document-level add-in?
2. Did you use this way to define the Create a class that defines the post-deployment action part of Put the document of a solution
onto the end user's computer (document-level customizations only) and did you get the path with Environment.SpecialFolder enum?
To handle this, I would recommend you consider using Environment.SpecialFolder to set that property.

Carl

Oracle 10g - Defining the column name in Non English

Hi Experts,
I have an exisitng application which is developed on Windows using ASP Technology and uses Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0.
The application is supported with an instance of Data Base within which multiple tablespaces are created for different clients. The application is developed in such a way that some of the tables arecreated dynamically and the columns are named using the data entered through the UI.
This application needs to be globalized now. The problem is, the column name entered through the UI can be in any language based on the client's settings and those values in turn will be used for naming the columns in the tables.
1) Can I have the column names to be named using non english characters in Oracle 10g DB? If so,
1.1) what should I do to configure the exisiting Oracle instance to support it?
1.2) To what level is that configuration possible, is it per DB instance level (or) can it be done at Tablespace level. I would like to configure each tablespace to host tables with columns defined with different languages, say for example, tablespace 1 will have tables with Japaenese column names and tablespace 2 will have tables with German column names?
2) What should I do to make my entire DB to support unicode data i.e., to accept any language strings. Currently all strings are declared as VarChar2, should I change all VarChar2 to NVarChar2 (or) is there a way to retain the VarChar2 as is and make some database wide setting?
Please note that I do not have an option of retaining the column in English as per the Business Requirement.
Envionment:
OS - Windows 2003 32 bit
Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0
UI forms in ASP
TIA,
Prem

1. Yes, you can.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá number(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values (10);
1 row created.1.1 and 1.2 and 2. You can choose UTF as your default character set. It allows the user of non-English characters in VARCHAR columns in your whole database. It is not per tablespace.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá varchar2(100));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values ('âãäçìé');
1 row created.

English reviews in non English app stores

In the past it was possible to see the English / American reviews in non-English app stores. It would be more than nice to get that ability back. In small countries there are often not that many reviews and also English speaking people in non-English countries should be able to read reviews.

Are you referring to the Customer Reviews? iTunes doesn't distinguish which language is used by the customer in writing the review so it can't filter out those you don't want to see. In fact someone could write one review and use many languages in it, but it seems those that speak German are the most vocal in the Swiss store.
This is also a user forum. Responses are from other users of Apple products. It is mainly for other users helping you with a problem that they can fix. If you want to give feedback to Apple select Provide iTunes Feedback from the iTunes menu from within the iTunes application.
